Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

"But what about that latin american kid I've met in college who said that all the left has ever done in latin america has been bad?"

Keep doing austerity, Milei. I'm sure you will end up in history books, as an example for austerity never working.

His history books entry will end with "disappeared under mysterious circumstances"

I'm still holding out for "torn limb from limb by angry mob".

Can we stop mocking the idea of CWs?

Good point. I'll change it.

My rule is if I tag it as NSFW and add a [CW] then it's real, otherwise is for comedic purpose

You can tell by his confused expression that he doesn't understand why there is a bird's nest on his head. Poor guy.

He's a less cool Final Fantasy character.

I wonder how much longer capitalists can manage running countries when they have to resort to means like these. Lenin said the revolution comes when the ruling class is unable to rule by their old ways, developed after Marx thought the most industrially advanced countries would have their successful revolts first and was proven wrong. When will the breaking point hit? China has already claimed welfare capitalism hit its limit when the French were protesting against pension reform, so social democracy is officially on its death bed in the imperial core. Does now the US do to Western Europe then what the US did to Chile in '73, Russia in the '90s?

I get the feeling when the next major recession hits, it's either fascism or socialism and no in-between. It could be this year, next year, five years from now... ironic that most people in the world could be casting the last votes of proper liberal democracy this year

It'd be a lie to say I didn't predict Argentina to turn this way, but I still can't believe the world was introduced to specifically Javier Milei as the one to do it
