Make your country better to live in for more than just gangs.

You don't think they are trying? A number of steps have been taken to weaken cartels by the Mexican government in recent history, but as long as US remains simultaneously the biggest supplier of weapons for said gangs and their biggest customer when it comes to drugs, things are unlikely to change. Gotta look at the big picture, my guy.

I am not saying Mexico does not have problems of their own making, like corruption and inequality, but you can't be looking at things in a vacuum.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
