My mom is getting real weird about columbian now, citing crime didn’t exist in mexico till the columbians got their I don’t even know how to untangle these worms she has normally she’s easy enough to talk to about most stuff and convince but she’s digging her heels on this one.
That’s one I’ve never heard before! Are you folks diaspora or does your mom directly experience “el crimen”?  Does she think Columbia just exports mini Pablo Escobars lol
Does she think Columbia just exports mini Pablo Escobars lol
pretty much. My mom immigrated here first illegally then married my dad and got her stuff etc. I’d be like mom oraginzed crime existed be Escobar and then she’d cite some other figure from columbia
In a way she is right that organized crime has become much more brutal towards average citizens in the past three decades but the government was doing their fair share of oppression and murder of Mexicans before Colombian cartels even existed. Whatever you do keep her away from anti-Morena youtubers. Morena may be succdems and have a shit record in regards to indigenous land rights but 90% of anti-Morenistas are right wing freaks that spew the craziest conspiracy theories!
