teh best thing Mexico can really hope for now is probably that one Cartel becomes so powerful they just straight up start running the country without any pretense of being behind the scenes and then wipe out and monopolize the other crime in the country lol

Well i started looking up cartel stuff and just watched a few cartel videos where they cut the heads off a few men and women and all I can really say is that they seem to be better at it than ISIS

There are very few entities on the planet as good at random and horrific violence as the various American drug cartels. Like these guys don't even get a semi if they haven't put 43 separate penises in a severed head's mouth and fired it at the grieving family out an air cannon.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
All the former Spanish colonies seem to be pretty terrible at the whole independence and running your own country thing.

Sucks you guys south of the border couldn't have been colonized by Britain instead :(

the PRI more or less ran everything. so while corruption was everywhere, it was predictable. "organized crime is better than disorganized crime" as joan rivers once said (about las vegas, but it applies). so when the PRI fell apart in the 1990s and lost power in 2000, things started getting disorganized.

I wish more Americans got to listen to the bullshit government propoganda radio ads they run, in English, on AM radio.

Lots of AM transmitters are right across the border because they can turn the wattage way up legally there but they have to run government ads. They are awful and hilarious.

Mexican politicians aren't corrupt, they loyally and faithfully carry out their constitutional duties to the drug dealers that run Mexico. Relatedly

dude couldnt name 3 books that influenced him(i think he only managed to say te bible). hes literally nothing more than a pretty face with a nice big pair of eyes that suggest empathy and paternal comfort. he looks like he was bred in a lab to be the perfect political candidate

to be fair though mexican politics are nothing but meaningless platitudes. its all dumb slogans and parties, specially the pri, usually have very ill defined agendas and political ideals

Yep, that's accurate indeed. At least the previous presidents tried (and failed) to have some kind of personality, EPN it's a demagogic robot.

cartel ppl have a really hosed up sense of humor. a few years ago my parents got picked up after a misunderstaning. they eventually released them (we all though they were goners) and since they had taken our car along with them they returned it as a gesture of good will i guess. inside the car was a piece of chocolate cake with a plastic spoon and a note that said "sorry"

Lol holy poo poo.

Well Meigoons you have convinced me to work 10x harder because I have a decent life without horrible poo poo like this. Just so I can be assured I make enough money to avoid the horrors you have. Wish there was something I could do for you, but unless I become super successful and open up a business and am able to bring you over as greencard workers I doubt that'll happen.

Also how long till Brozo gets his head cut off by an angry cartel?
