Is Mexico this fucked up irl?
>>218190888More
>>218190888Yes and no. Some parts are way worse than what the movie shows and others are pretty chill, same happens in Brazil with movies like City of God and Elite Squad. In the end you got to live there to understand the flow of things.
Watch some of those cartel videos and get back with us
>>218190949Most parts of Mexico not controlled by the Army (Mexico City, Cancun, Playa De Carmen, Merida, Cabo, Puerto Vallarte) are crime ridden shitholes. Don't go there unless you are from there, speak the language extremely well, including slang and cholo shit.T. Brown skin haver from San Diego who has spent about 5 years of my life in that hell hole.
>>218190888>In the end you got to live there to understand the flow of things.wtf!
>>218191104Kenecks.
>>218191116Sorry, meant for >>218190971
>>218191104you have to go back
>>218191175All I said is watch the cartel videos. Nothing about living there. You're a moron
>>218191227Too late, parents and me both born here dude. Consider me a bonus as I actually interact with law enforcement and snitch on sinoloa fucks
>>218191282>parents and me both born hereThankfully that doesn't matter anymore. You still have to go back
Don’t you know I’m loco, ese
>>218191299I tend to agree but it's whatever don't pick on based beaner bro. If we get to the point where we're deporting them too that's good but it's not worth worrying about.Anyways. After visiting Mexico City I decided the wall needs to be at least a hundred feet high. There is a lot, lot more of them that can and will come here if we let them, and we do not want what they are bringingI will paraphrase another good quote in my awful Spanish-Pobre Mexico, tan lejos de Dios, tan cerca de estados Unidos-Poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to America-El Chapo
>>218190888Go to /gif/ and watch the videos of what their friendly neighborhood gangsters do for fun.
>>218191104Mexico City, Cancun and Playa del Carmen all felt pretty safe to me. And I'm a European white dude. The worst city I had to spend a few days in was Tuxtla. Just a nasty filthy place with nothing to see. Very dystopian. Can't believe people live like this.
>>218191335I know it's you, brownie. You. Have. To. Go. Back.
>>218190888how would this Puerto Rican know?
>You. Have. To. Go. Back.
>>218191104>Puerto VallarteBro have you checked the news recently...
>>218190888>Is Mexico this fucked up irl?Depending on how you are counting, since 1821, the established government in Mexico has broken down close to 40 timesFor reference, since their revolution France is on government #15We are on 1Yes
>>218191441Did you read my post correctly, outside of Army controlled cities it's a shithole. You went to three Army controlled cities.
Mexicans are based
>>218191926Great fucking point, anon. Too bad these retards can't read but still, great point
How do I feel about Taylor Sheridan.
why doesn’t mexico just stop being controlled by cartels?
those ms-13 gang members are fine democrat voters, let them in!
>>218193428they vote republican now actually
>>218193006A lot of money in drugs going across the border. A lot of that money pays off cops, military, and politicians.
>>218193006This but unironically Why doesn’t the army just kill them? See a drug deal on the street? Just ice him then and there with a police rifle and leave him.
>>218190888All the cartel movies from Hollywood conveniently leaves out the govt is in bed with cartel, just like Zelenskyy depends on Azov Battalion to rule. Cartel/paramilitary thuggery instead of gangster capitalism. Soderbergh, Don Winslow, even Sheridan/Villeneuves are all willing/unwitting propagandists/frauds. Their movies NEVER put the Mexican civilian POV at the center, the one that has to live with cartel violence and doesn't want that life.
>>218191926Where can I learn more about this? Most documentaries about Mexico either discuss the US-Mexico war or the war on drugs, but there's not much else.I remember someone recommended some historical telenovelas but they were pretty bad.
>>218194042>conveniently leaves out the govt is in bed with cartellol are you retarded? the cartel regularly openly kills politicians and placed a bounty on killing mexican soldiers
>>218191335You're not based, you need to go back. lol
>>218194136It kills whoever the government wants them to, dopey. They are a dog on a leash LARPing.
>>218194113>kinosLmao none that I know ofThe sad fact of the matter is the presence of the US, combined with the fact that the spanish empire collapsed in flames in the 1800s means that non academic Mexican history is kind of hard to findThe most I learned about mexican revolutionary history I learned from reading about US historyIn particular John Tyler: The Accidental President and A Country of Vast Designs;
>>218194037Because a sizeable portion of the Mexican Army is being bribed / working with the cartels. And a good hunk of the rest joined the Army to sit and collect a pay check; they don't want to do dangerous shit like actually fight. That said, if the right person with enough popular support got into power then fixing up enough of the Army and then simply rounding up the cartels with the cleaned out Army is entirely possible. That is pretty much what happened with El Salvador after Bukele gained power in 2019.
>>218191104>im from San Diego Checks out who is scared of fucking cancun?? lmao go back chicANO
>>218190888This lame ass movie didn’t show a fraction of how fucked up it actually is
>>218191335>Anyways. After visiting Mexico City I decided the wall needs to be at least a hundred feet high. There is a lot, lot more of them that can and will come here if we let themMexicans are not coming to the US. Its Nicaraguan/Venezuelas. The ironic thing is that a bunch of American are going to Mexico City and other places because it's cheap as fuck and they can work remotely.
>>218191745He doesn't have to do anything.We will get them.
>>218190888>Mexico this fucked upYes.
>they didn't listen..
>>218193006>why doesn’t mexico just stop being controlled by cartels?Why doesn't the western white world just stop being controlled by globalist Jews and bankers?
>>218190888>>218194042>All the cartel movies from Hollywood conveniently leaves out the govt is in bed with cartel, just like Zelenskyy depends on Azov Battalion to rule.The Producer, Fred Smith, is Skull & Bones. And with Russians, Chinese, Israelis et. al. crawling over the place, the black money underwriting the clearnet fiat economy isn't and cannot be restricted to clear cut pInChe yAnQuI GrInG0s. Sending B2s to Fordow bunker bust offshore banks in the Caribbean and indian casinos would cause a ruckus. Somethings are supposedly handled quietly-- or more likely not at all for strategic Mexican Standoff deterrence reasons, unfortunately.
>be Taiwan>Fly half way around the world for meeting in Merida last year Nice placeBut you can clearly tell without tourism the place would be nothing Like even fucking new Delhi in India got bunch of IT offices and low/mid tech manufacturing which a proper nation would have. I don't even know if you can claim the US for this when Canada is directly right about it and they are doing relatively fine
>>218190888> Is Mexico this fucked up irl?Are you really not watching the news like right now, today?https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/22/americas/mexico-kill-drug-mencho-latam-intl
In the mood for cartel kinosSeen all of narcos and sicarios can someone drop some gems
>>218190888The most fucked up gore I've ever seen are cartel videos
why can't we have a Korean style DMZ between us and mexico
>>218197305Watch Traffic.
>>218197574Just watched the first 5 mins it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks anon, any others like this?
>>218190888I go down the coast all the time, about every other weekend since 2007 for surfing & a nice time. I’ve run into the cartel guys, theyre just like the federalis, I bring them grenades (a footlong sub sandwich w a tripleshot, wrapped in a pornomag), and a smile and they always let me through. They explained it to me early on. Come down, have a nice time, spend a little money in town or on a girl, but do NOT look for drugs or guns, and you’ll be fine. Look for either, and you're guaranteed to find the trouble that comes with, and fyi, life is cheap out in the desert. The mexican culture is very different from US culture, much more catholic, family based, and one of patronage, your status comes not from how much wealth you can take from others and horde yourself, but how many people you can support and will support you. If you are an asshole, it will cost you. But when the politics go up against the Gov and its interests, the shit hits the fan like in PV. So stay out of that. Otherwise the people you meet in Mex are the warmest and friendliest & most generous I’ve come across in our hemisphere.TL;DR, travellers #1 rule: when in rome, dont be a Fkn idiot, & you’ll be fine.
>>218197826>do NOT look for drugsNigga American tourists are their biggest customers what are you talking about
>>218197826You're a dork dude. No tourist surfing beach has friendly cartel guys standing around chatting with passer byes, the beaches that might have cartel checkpoints you're not going allowed, cartels make their money selling drugs to tourists, and those are tv tropes tier stereotypes of Mexico.
>>218197850Exactly. Every headless body dissolving in a barrel was some dumbfuck going down there thinking theyre going to have a Bachelor Party weekend in the lawless wild west where anything goes. Go to mexico and look for guns or drugs, you are dealing with the fucking cartel, and not their best forward facing security guys, the guys who’ll take you for a quick ransom if you look like you're worth one & bury you if you cant come up with one before they get bored waiting. That shit still happens all the fucking time. Avoid if you have anything like a functioning brain.
>>218197919I dont go to tourist areas, i surf. If you guys arent retarded youkre damn good at pretending. Typical waste of time talking to you losers.
>>218197961>I surfTimes where you acted like The Surfer?
>>218194042> just like Zelenskyy depends on Azov Battalion to ruleComplete fucking nonsense I’ve got family living 10 miles from Ukr border and he’s got more support than pretty much any western leader you can think of.
>>218194042>the govt is in bed with cartelYeah, all those cartel hits on politicians judges and cops when theyre at home with their families is just a series of false flags to make people think they are basically involved in a civil conflictIts all a big conspiracy man
>>218197961>But anon, it's pretty hairy down there, that's the cartels beach.CARTELS DON'T SURF!
>>218197934Correct, two surfers from Western Australia did just that. Talked shit, got shot and thrown down a well. Mexico is a very dangerous shithole.
