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
They’re in Mexico because they can’t afford to live in the states. My rental equivalent in Mexico is like 50-70% lower. I’m being paid the same as I was in 2013. My rent has almost tripled.
They can cry all they want—I need to live too. And as we all know the people who own those places don’t care but the citizens have to think. They will smash some windows and gentrification will roll in anyway. This is because no one is willing to scream upwards
So, do you think that the rich people who own everything in Mexico are going to allow the non-Mexican people who are paying more than they should but less than they were before to be deported? I would be very surprised if the rich Mexicans are willing to give up that cash. Break as many windows as you want
I would guess it’s not windows but gringos those people will start breaking. And even the Mexican rich don’t want an unstable society, so they might just let them.
Do you think it would be OK for a Mexican citizen to physically injure a person who has chosen to work remotely from Mexico City in an attempt to be able to afford a good life? Do you feel that is appropriate? Do you think that I should be able to Physically injure immigrants that I don’t agree with? Is it just limited to Mexicans against white people?
Money always wins. Money wins 100% of the time. Money never ever ever ever loses. I wish the world was different. I wish the world was how I thought the world might have been when I was a kid. But it’s not. People from north of Mexico Are going to be moving to Mexico. People from Mexico are going to be pushed out to this suburbs or the rural areas. This is life.
Personally, Mexico is too hot for me. I will probably end up dying in a trailer in Alaska or Northern Canada. Hopefully no one will find me for years and it will be super creepy.
I don’t think I would enjoy living in Mexico. Clearly I would not be able to bring my things with me because deportation would be eminent. So I imagine all I could do was pay a lot in rent and spend a lot at the local restaurants and other stores that most likely are owned by rich business people who will absolutely side with me.
Of course, I would never move to Mexico because it is way too hot. I would rather take my chances north
Being priced out of the life you had before and finding another cheaper place to live is an experience only found in the USA.
Yes, most people don’t have the option to “just move to another cheaper country”, they just become homeless. OP could at least be gracious about it instead of being dismissive.
Complaining about life being unfair is something only people from the USA do.
Not really, but the “they can cry all they want” attitude while OP got priced out of their own country is entitled as fuck.

You realise Mexicans screaming upwards will result in you getting deported back to the US, right?
Who is “you” in that sentence? Them? I don’t think Mexicans get deported to the US.
No, but USAmericans living in Mexico can be deported back to the US, especially if the local voting population “cry all they want” about it.

Also can you start calling me a white piece of shit instead of a colonist fuck, it’s good to get the racism out in the open
