How many people has that happened to? Surely you can show that it’s happened a statistically-significant number of times, to talk about that as if it’s a normal/typical course of action.
Or has alarmist media made you assume it’s a common event, when it isn’t?
Not offended, just pointing out the objective absurdity of the comparison, on the axis of overall average danger.
Don’t project your emotional response onto me.
We are talking about the risk to travelers.
Where the travelers are traveling to, and away from, generally tells you all you need to know about where the overall quality of life is better.
Again, Mexico’s net migration is literally negative. If two bordering nations have one nation that has a net loss of population to emigration, and the other has a large net positive from immigration from the bordering nation, saying that the former is “bread” and the other is “shit”, sounds pretty ridiculous on its face.
Not to mention that it comes with it the heavy implication that you know better than the majority of those who actually undertook the endeavor of leaving their home country behind in search of better surroundings.
I see what you’re implying. However:
Homicide has been the leading cause of death [in youths age 1-19] since 2017 in Mexico…it reached 6.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 2022.
But in Figure 1 here, it shows the rate among US children to be about 1.5 per 100,000, in the same year, 2022.
Children are, likewise re the general population, four times more likely to be murdered in Mexico as in the US.
Also worth pointing out that in 2022, the rate for only Mexican children (6.5) is greater than the rate for all ages in the US (6.3). That fact should speak volumes all on its own.
Edit: Never stops being funny to see a simple, plainly-laid-out debunking of an assertion, with cited evidence, downvoted by ideologues who apparently just can’t handle having their narratives challenged.
What the base murder rate doesn’t tell you is that over 90% of the murders are by cartel members to other cartel members, which means that only 10% or less of the murders are happing to a random bystander.
And what makes you think the type of murder breakdown isn’t similar in the US? Most of the murders there are gang violence etc. as well.
The fact that Mexico’s raw number of annual murders is higher than the US’s, despite being a much, much less populated country, is not something that can just be handwaved away.
There is a reason Mexico’s net migration rate is negative.
You’re literally 4 times more likely to be murdered in Mexico as in the US, according to both countries’ own statistics.
Edit: lol, imagine downvoting a plain fact.
Yeah, never mind that the murder rate per 100k in Mexico is quadruple what it is in the “backwater” US (25.2 vs 6.3). It’s flawless and beautiful, and the US is just horrible and worse in every way than there and everywhere else, “shit”, as you said.
Wonder why so many people are trying to immigrate there, then, hm. Also, Mexico’s got more people trying to get out than get in, how strange.
Ah, what do all those people know, anyway? They’re just making the decision to completely uproot their lives and go to another country for fun, not because they’re desperate for a better life!
Now that I think of it, in the DKC games, I don’t recall anyone or anything being ‘killed’, enemies would just get knocked off the 2D plane you’re on. They don’t explode or vanish etc. like in SMB3 or ALttP.
Anubis is so lightweight you’ll forget it’s there until you look at your hosting bill.
I don’t know if they realize this is implying it’s onerously expensive, lol.
When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?
He didn’t, not even close—the OP just made that up to augment the ragebait level of their post, lol.
and then goes on to say “why would you add people to your country that don’t speak the language” in English and not the native tongue of the tribe that the land was stolen from
The irony of this is that people who are hardline isolationist/against immigration use that having happened as fuel for their argument, because ‘look what happened to the Native Americans when Europeans were able to immigrate en masse’, and they argue that that’s what’ll happen to them if they allow immigration now.
Yeah, the voice someone’s born with is definitely what should be focused on, when it comes to criticism.
I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips.
This is why, lol. Since his videos are generally popular on YouTube, if you have no watch history for your recommendations to be based on, it’s just always going to feed you whatever’s popular, which will include his stuff.
You’re doing it to yourself, in other words. I actually have watched a couple videos of his in the past, and yet, because it’s rare, I never see his videos being recommended to me. Hell, in my experience, stuff recommended to me is rarely similar to things I’ve seen more than a month or so ago.
The US’s incredible levels of prosperity back then was essentially a unique period of time created by extremely specific circumstances (i.e. the US was THE superpower, and the primary economic force on the planet for decades). There’s a reason the ‘baby boom’ happened then. It was literally a unique slice of world history.
It is unrealistic to expect to ever return to that level. Comparisons between now and then are all disingenuous for that reason.
Instead of framing the changes we want to make in terms of ‘but we had X back then’, they should simply be framed in terms of what improvements are beneficial, feasible, and sustainable, in the present.
Mailing someone more letters than they’re capable of replying to is not equivalent to, nor a component of, gaining access to the inside of their home.
No thanks, I value my time.
Youtube acting like it has anything to offer
This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.
The 10% of the time when it’s both folded and unfolded must be sublime.
But you did say it. Everyone knows what the word is. You went out of your way for literally no reason, to accomplish nothing but making people wonder why you did such a pointless thing.
The “undercurrent of hostility” exists only in your imagination. I just stated some facts that contradict the assertion, which I think is fair to say is much more hostile in nature than anything I wrote, ironically.
I certainly never compared Mexico or anything in it to feces, anyway.
