it did remind me of you. i thught youd enjoy it.The reason this article isn't tedious, Luka, is because it's a breathtakingly accurate documentation of so many tedious culturally en vogue arguments, which reveals how tedious they are
"Bro your municipal and national governments have invested billions of dollars into attracting foreigners to make CDMX more cosmopolitan and wealthy"Who did you displace, Nícolas
Who did you leave behind
What keeps you up at night is it your treachery against your home, your people, your race
This line of thinking is, truly, tedious
Literally nobody from Mexico who isn't mentally ill would want this outcomeFor every asshole traipsing through Mexico City brandishing The Savage Detectives, there was someone else who knew enough to bury his copy deep in his luggage and, if asked, to pretend never to have heard of it.
I also love when people treat Mexico as an ex-colony. Theyre about as post-colonial as the USA, i.e. they've had independence for a longgggg time. They just happen to be poorer atm because less European cognitive capital was brought in.
hes saying there was fewer 'pure-blood' whitescould you expand on this duck
Europeans, for reasons that are largely circumstantial and geographical, had a very large technological, literacy, and numeracy advantage over much of the world in the period of American & Mexican development. This meant that, as literate, numerate, and high-skilled European immigrants have settled disproportionately in the United States, since 1500—for reasons that are largely cultural, religious, and linguistic—the United States of America has enjoyed a sizeable advantage politically, militaristically, and developmentally over the United Mexican States.could you expand on this duck
this is true but then again maybe youre being paranoid and he wasnt trying to bait youIn my mind, it's more clearly racist to jump to the conclusion that someone making a point about development is making a racial argument, than it is to point out obvious facts about development. Which is to say, your problematizing a point about development, as if it were racial, says something about your own conflations more than it does about mine.
its seriously demented. theyre fucked in the head and should be incinerated. their literary culture is worse than englands"For every asshole traipsing through Mexico City brandishing The Savage Detectives, there was someone else who knew enough to bury his copy deep in his luggage and, if asked, to pretend never to have heard of it."
This sort of hyper self-consciousness you see in American liberals just seems to betray how much of a thing race is for them. I mean, the guy's talking about hiding a book by a Latin American author out of fear that Latin American people might see it...
yeah he was lolWYH was 100% trying to bait
