My parents are from India and I was born in Canada.
My mom’s cousin used to live in Abu Dhabi and she worked for an Arab owned travel agency.
Her husband ran an Indian restaurant which also supplied food to workers at a labor camp.
My mothers cousin and husband were not very happy working/ living there- especially with the guilt of knowing what happens to the labor workers who are from India/ Pakistan/ Bangladesh/ Nepal / Philippines/ Africa.
The husband took me to the labor camp to show me what it was like- it was horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Yes, brown dudes can suffer and tolerate horrible conditions but in one of the richest countries in the world?
And yes, many times the guy who truly screws the workers over is the Indian middle man/ agent.
HOWEVER, the Arab big big boss knows exactly what is happening. And looks the other way.
Or simply doesn’t care. Or encourages horrible behavior.
It’s just a sad state of affairs | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

There were almost 21,000 candidates in this election throughout the country so 37 candidates downed as a result of old local hatreds and animosities is are virtually drowned out by the clamor of wins and losses in the thousands.
It's not really that normal. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
No it does not.
Whatever you think you know about Mexico, it's bullshit. You don't know a damn thing at all.

El Salvador seemed to clean up their gang problem within a short amount of time with fewer resources. It can be done. But there will be people complaining about the means. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Because 37 out of about 21,000 candidates in this election is not even a quarter of a percentage point.
By comparison, in the US, you've gotten a higher percentage of political candidates shot during an election year. You had Gabby Giffords, and Steve Scalise not that long ago out of like 12 candidates in an election. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

37 out of 21,000 successful candidacies in this election cycle.
That's not even a quarter of a percentage point. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Good question, perhaps reading rather than hearing will fill the gaps. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Actually, mass shootings in the US are vastly more depressing because the US portrays itself as the "better, more civilized society" with respect to countries like Mexico.
In Mexico, there sometimes is beef between candidates and fanaticism results in these kinds of things. But these are 37 out of 21,000 candidates in this election throughout the country.
In the US, however, politicians enable and thus encourage mass shooting because guns have more rights than people. Weather you like that assessment or not, it's the truth. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah,people stop using drugs, or legalize them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
El Salvador arrested and imprisoned like 1% of their population without due process. So there are a sadly thousands of people who are going to rot in jail away from their families having done nothing wrong. That’s pretty fucked up. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

Gang members in El Savador almost universally have face tattoos. Mexican gang members often don't. That one detail makes it extremely easy for the police to arrest gang members in El Savador. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Cartels don't only deal in drugs. They make a lot of their money through extortion and things like hotels. They are closer to the mafia than anything else. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Mexico patrolling its border to stop cartels from moving drugs into the US, and the US working alongside it on the other side of the border. Unfortunately, Mexico will refuse to do so unless by diplomatic coercion. But then again, the cartels will just move their enterprise to other economic sectors. In some areas, they have taken over the avocado industry. With their ability to buy or murder political candidates with impunity, it's not likely that any politician in Mexico will do much to solve this problem. Time will tell. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Honestly, I saw this coming a while ago. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Agreed but it's hard to ask people to step up when other people aren't. It's like a WW 1 trench where everyone steps up together and half of them die but you know everyone is in the same boat. In Narco Mexico you step up and you might die, your family might die and everyone near you will probably back down out of fear.
Mexico needs a reckoning and God help the poor bastards that have to do it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Or the feel what algorithms give us. They see dozens of articles every day, never hearing anything about this. In reality they were just in their own curated bubble by meta(or other) algorithm. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Mexico isn't a single person. Just like we have internal divisions here on what the government should do, so does Mexico. They're very divided on the issue - especially by region. Mexico isn't as diverse as the United States but it's quite a diverse country compared to most of the countries in the world. (I'm using "diverse" in its regular sense, not limiting it to race/ethnicity.)
You are correct that cartels will always hold Mexico back as long as they have the level of influence that they do. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Oh, school shootings *are* a real problem... roughly of the same size as lightning strikes (20-50 deaths per year in the US) and hornet stings (70-100 deaths per year in the US), but somewhat smaller than horse riding (around 700 deaths per year in the US). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
Lofty ideals but you have zero concept of the reality of the stranglehold cartels have over Mexico at the highest level and how dominant their extreme violence is. The situation is more complex than just bad guys doing lots of bad stuff, there are flow-on effects of cartel dominance that benefit other influential groups in the US, China, and elsewhere.
I don't think you've ever even come close to interacting with career criminals in your own country if you reckon you'd magically "drop the act of being so kind and soft" to them if they became even more destructive to the country.
Realistically only large scale foreign intervention would work at this stage, leading to a brutal occupation with high civilian casualties and extremely high cost. The tourism industry would crumble, thousands if not millions of civilians would be thrown into poverty in addition to the ones that die in cartel hotspots. The influx of migrants/refugees to the US would be crazy.
No technology exists to magically kill all the confirmed cartel members without collateral damage, and there aren't enough of those assassination drones to do it to thousands of people, and the cost to attempt something like that only to make the situation worse (the situation WOULD get worse) is pointless.
You already compared them to terrorists, recall how great the invasions of Afghan and Iraq turned out now imagine it happening in a far more densely populated country right on the border of the USA, where people have a lot more family members in the population and shared business interests. Political suicide. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
But what are you actually suggesting? I’m not sure how AI factors in here at all, but having a completely locked down security state monitoring people 24/7 sounds like your solution? Also, if you are going to be extra-judicially murdering people, you are going to need to be 100% sure of people’s guilt. Anyways, it sounds like a dystopian nightmare.

A civil war tbh is what's needed. A lot of the good citizens flee to the USA cause of it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
interesting. i knew mexicans disliked the cartel but didn't think they disliked them to the point they'd want a foreign countries military to invade to fight them. i think the bigger problem is there are a lot of powerful people in the us that profit from the cartel so it'd most likely be a purge on both sides, which makes it harder to even have the conversation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
It's not conspiritorial if it's true. And it IS true. We have armed them for decades now. Gotta get that sweet gun money. I have seen the inner workings of US/Mexico relations vis a vis the cartels, and it is not only more complex than one would or could think, but also more frightening. The "war on drugs" only served to line politician and cartel pockets. It is so sad and so repugnant. Hence why I didn't continue pursuing that line of work where I was so exposed to it all. You've pretty much got the jist of it all down. 🤷♂️ | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
My comment literally used the same arguments that you've been spouting trying to downplay violence in Mexico, just reversed. Any critique you have of that is just a reflection on yourself. Do you not see that? I'm genuinely curious. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |
> but for the most part Americans support legal immigration.
[America's obsession with illegal immigration actually a topic of substantial resaerch](https://www.academia.edu/download/33914914/HPDick_JLA_Article_2011.pdf) and the truth is certainly more complicated.
>The targeting of Mexican immigration is no coincidence. Since the early 20th century, U.S. immigration policy has
created a core contradiction: the country aggressively recruits Mexican laborers—indeed, its economic development has depended on this labor since the late 19th century—but at the same time, the U.S. government consistently provides an insufficient number of visas for their legal entry. This contradiction legitimates the integration of people of Mexican descent through their positioning as “illegal people,” to use Barletta’s phrase from the opening quotation. This positioning relies on a conflation between the category “illegal alien” and a cultural image of the Mexican immigrant as a criminal Other, so that when one speaks of illegal immigration, one pictures not the white British nanny who has overstayed her visa, but a menacing movement of dark-skinned people from south of the border | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

> we spent trillions on policing adult humans on how they treat their body.
The shareholders of power don't consider the masses to be "people". You are tax payers, laborers, consumers, canon fodder, renters. Livestock. Livestock that needs to be carefully managed to extract the maximum value from. Private equity snatches up residential property making housing unaffordable and if you visit a hospital a doctor will want half a million to so much as look in your direction. It seems clear that the average person isn't even supposed to be able to take care of themselves like adults, the social contract has been torn to shreds and defecated on. So yeah the war on drugs was a self destructive failure, we're going to learn from that and do better yeah? Oh hell no lmfao, it being destructive is a feature not a bug. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-13-06 |

So this should make republicans thrilled. They have been demanding that other countries send more money to Ukraine ever since we started to give them aid.
Could this be one of those rare times when the entire country is in agreement on something, or will republicans find a narrative that allows them to continue blowing putin? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

The actual situation is, you put words in my mouth that implied that was my position then called me a Neanderthal for having a position I never advocated.
I just think it should be a controlled substance, i.e. not available for retail sale. Maybe allow the sale of ditchweed but certainly not these random carts and oils and god knows what that makes people unable to see the end of their nose. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
I mean but we do (worldwide for the most part) by allowing advertisement and sale of alcohol. Marijuana is a healthier alternative to those who are gonna get intoxicated anyways.
In an ideal world, I see what you mean, but realistically people have been consuming alcohol, mushrooms, marijuana and other intoxicating substances forever and itll definitely continue. Better to tax it and regulate it to keep people safe and prevent crime. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |

For a government that promotes its focus on the economy, they could have established clear rules around legal use, locations, taxes, etc.
Instead they wildly swerve from one extreme to another like a drunk on a rolling log. And they wonder why no foreign investment comes to an unstable and unpredictable government.

The US could have continued it's prior policy of just giving aid to Ukraine while atleast publicly blacklisting the azov brigade.
They simply don't care to do so anymore because the public either does not pay attention / are as biased as individuals here that are unwilling to admit that ALL of Eastern Europe has significant fringe actors in them.

I as an American will elect the next candidate that spends 60-70% of American gdp on military . That money will lead to making weapons which leads to paid American workers !
