Obviously, Mexico is a big diverse country so you're going to find good areas and bad areas. However, we're talking about the state of the nation as a whole.

It's not really a secret how the cartels get their weapons. America is the world's biggest arms manufacturer and exporter, and it's the country with the highest amount civilian owned guns per capita in the world. It doesn't really take much for a bunch massive crime syndicates to organize smuggling operations to bring guns across the border. Mexico's strict guns laws are supposed to be there to prevent this from happening, but they're not. The same goes for the money, again they're crime cartels selling things that are illegal, though now they're controlling actual industries too, but that's besides the point.

Nobody is responsible for the cartels besides Mexico. They popped organically inside the country, they grew inside the country, and they still operate inside the country. The Mexican government knows who they are and what they do, but they're choosing to look the other way. Shifting blame is just a dishonest way to avoid putting pressure on the only party that can do anything about these cartels, and that's the Mexican government.

I literally don't give a shit. I called you out for being a troll because you're under every post and every community calling everyone and anyone a zionist with zero evidence, validity, relevance, or context. Clearly a bunch of other people and mods on this site agree with this notion considering how many times you've been banned for trolling, derailing, or being off topic over the same thing. Hell, even you agree that you're a troll by conceding the mods are right. That's all there is to it. You proved my point.

A bunch of bs. Your comment by my English show that you have no real arguments. English is my 3rd language, you can’t expect my English to be perfect.

There's difference between being perfect and being hard to understand, you're the latter. I also speak another language, I speak Arabic, but you don't seem to have an issue making out what I say.

So stop pretending that you are not a zionist.

You're a zionist

Anybody can check our comments histories and see who is lying.

They're more than welcome too

You are not only a Zionist but also a transphobic

Let's see the treasure chest that is your moderation history:

It looks like I'm not the only one who noticed you're a troll. You're the only troll on this site who can manage to turn a post about Mexican chocolate bars into a pissing match about Israel where you case every atom in the universe of being zionist.

I feel like your issue is that you're not probably giving yourself space.

Being active is good, it's healthy. However, that's not what you need. What you need is a break. You need a break from politics and social media. You need to have a complete reset mentally, and the way to do that is to shut off all the noise and spend at least a month living your life without any social media. Like actually take the steps to block all the social media apps/sites for all your devices. That means no Lemmy, no Reddit, no Discord, no Instagram, no Facebook, nothing.

You also need to talk with your girlfriend and tell her to stop talking about politics with you full stop, perhaps this would be good for her as well, but I digress. You need to explain to her as well as understand yourself that this is a serious boundary that you need to have for your well being. You're aware that doomscrolling and social media are bad for you, however, you need to take action to give yourself the break that you need.

I hate the people who get those shitty bluetooth speakers and blast them in public. The people who blast music from their phone's speakers are assholes, but you could still say that they don't have headphones on them, but the people with the speakers? They intentionally went out of their way to buy a device for the purpose of being a public nuisance. They're a special of asshole.

I can't even begin to imagine how miserable your social life must be. I just know everybody avoids you like the plague because they can smell the bigotry just oozing out of you.

Good thing I've never said that, and I know you won't be able to find a single comment to prove your claim either. I see you under every other post with your bad english claiming that everyone and everything is a zionist who loves genocide regardless of context, validity, or relevance. There's never any evidence, but that won't stop you making stuff up. Like I said, you're a troll.

What a moron. You chosing to consume shitty products is not an excuse to be a racist bigot, and you choosing to believing does not make them true, that's why they're stereotypes. You're sound exactly like nazi saying that the stereotypes about jews are often true or a white supremacist saying the stereotypes about black people are often true or a homophobic religious zealot saying that the stereotypes about gays are often true. You saying it so, doesn't make it so, the only thing it does is demonstrate your appalling ignorance.

Where did you go? Culiacan? Mazatlan? If you stuck exclusively to the tourist areas and made sure you were on red alert all the time, and tried to avoid wandering anywhere or having any sort of confrontation, then you would be fine for the most part... but that in itself isn't normal. By having that sort of discipline out of fear goes beyond the scope of normal tourist precautions.

Also, even though the US is dangerous in its own right, and has plenty of issues, it is not at all comparable to Mexico. The US homicide rate is a quarter of Mexico's and it has been declining sharply over the past few years. There's nothing like the cartels in the country, most of the crime is localized. There aren't organized crime syndicates running entire cities.

Just an FYI for anybody reading this thread, this guy is a well known troll on here. If you go through his comment history, he calls EVERYTHING zionist regardless of validity or context.

Clearly you've never set foot in Mexico and if you have, you've only been to a heavily guarded resort in a place like Cancun with other white Americans. If you're going to sit here and argue that Mexico is wealthy, safe, or that it's government is doing good then you're literally too ignorant for this conversation.

What a load of nonsense

First of all, why are you comparing the homicide rate a country to specific cities? That's the epitome of cherry picking. Compare country to country like a normal person. The US homicide rate in 2023 was 5.763 (ranks 66th), and Mexico's in the same year was 24.859 (18th). This means that Mexico's homicide rate is more than FOUR times higher than America's homicide rate. Mexico's homicide rate is so insanely high that it has more total murders annually (32,252) than the US (19,796), a country with 3x it's population. The difference alone is so high that if it was ranked globally, it would rank 8th ahead of Pakistan and below Colombia, both notoriously dangerous countries with very high populations. Do you understand just how insanely dangerous Mexico is? Clearly not.

What's crazy is that the US is a dangerous country. It is the most dangerous developed country by far. For Mexico to make the US look this safe in comparison means that it's basically a war zone, and it is. Mexico is quite literally classified as one of the handful of countries that is experience a major war. That's how bad the cartel wars have gotten. Pretending that US is anywhere near Mexico is beyond disingenuous.

But do you know what the federal Mexican government is doing about all the cartels and their rapes, human trafficking, drugs, violence, assassinations of local politicians, persecution of journalists, extortion, massacres, racketeering, barbaric executions, fraud, and literal fucking torture concentration camps? Nothing. They're doing nothing. The current president, Sheinbaum, and her predecessor, AMLO, are both notorious for enabling the cartels. They let them do whatever they want without any consequences, and the people are paying the price for it.

No Mexican is going to ever tell you that the cartels are the fault of America. That's the most mind numbingly idiotic take that anybody could have about the situation there. This is how I know that you've never talked to a Mexican in your life. Trying to infantilize Mexicans by blaming the issues of their country on America or Europe is just racism of low expectations. Mexico has agency and Mexican know that this the doing of their government's corruption, incompetence, and negligence. These cartels should've been squashed the moment they arose, but they weren't and they still aren't even though things are getting out of control. This brainrotted mentality of thinking that you're smart for blaming America for anything and everything neither makes you sound smart nor does it make your assertions true. The same goes for saying "America bad" as a comparison, it doesn't negate the points brought up.

You can play all the mental gymnastics you want, it's not going to change the fact that Mexico is an incredibly dangerous place and the Mexican government is not ruling in the interests of its people, and nobody is more vocal about this than Mexicans.

Sure, but that doesn't mean it's a safe place though

Have you been to Mexico? How about you take a little vacation to Sinaloa to prove me wrong?

That's the thing, the sheer amount of imbeciles who occupy these units make you question how society got to this point.

Some HOAs can be quite nice as they're just there to add some basic community rules. However, many are hijacked by a handful of narcissistic individuals who let this insignificant amount of power go to their heads and they turn into a bunch Mussolinis

Don't hold your breath, the Mexican government makes the American government under Republican rule seem competent. Just like how the American government is bought and paid for by corporations, the Mexican government is bought and paid for by the cartels.

The MEXICAN government ruling in the interests of the people? This is absolutely delusional. Mexico is one of the most corrupt, dangerous, and unstable places in the world. The country is quickly turning into a warzone because of the cartels, and both the current and previous presidents and their government aren't doing anything about it because they're bought.

A government making a chocolate bar to distract from the crippling poverty and crime is not good governance, it's the opposite.

This is just bigotry. Just because a shitty megacorp makes shitty products that doesn't mean good chocolate or coffee don't exist here. You sound like the type of person who bases their views entirely on stereotypes.

I don't think these two things are mutually exclusive
