Hundreds of protesters in Mexico City have destroyed businesses and harassed tourists in the city’s touristic hub in a march railing against mass-tourism and gentrification
Stay in the US and clean up your own fucking messes instead of expecting the countries the US has exploited the living shit out of to achieve your high quality of life in the US to take care of your bitch ass. The fucking entitlement. Mexico doesn’t owe you a fucking escape hatch.
Everyone has one life to live. Most people younger than 60 have had next to no control over the US government through any phase of their lives - hard to rationalize this being “their own” mess. Telling these people that they must risk their lives, rather than seeking better ones is pretty ethically problematic.
And on the other side of the coin, that is the exact same rhetoric used by racists and xenophobes to argue against asylum seekers.
(Note: This really doesn’t apply to the tax-dodging shitheads who are avoiding paying for the societal benefits that they enjoy.)
But Mexico City is most likely my cheap and easy go-to escape plan for if/when shit hits the fan in the U.S. I wonder if others had the same thought.
What exactly is the threshold you’re waiting for on this escape plan?

Running away rather than fighting = absolute cowardice
