      Some months ago I went to Buenos Aires, we were chilling in a square with many dogs and their owners, one guy turned out to be an Israeli who had “rescued this dog from the war”…

          Heh, yea, but the explanation is the jewish diaspora here is one of the biggest since the 1890, mostly eastern europeans. Sadly most of it is zionist IIRC.

          Also, among all the assasinated by the last dictatorship jewish people were way overrepresented, and it was probably THE most number of jews assasinated by a government (wars included) after 1945 but Isntreal never said anything about it IIRC.

          Anyways, Buenos Aires has a lot of ultraorthodox dudes that wear those funny furry hats

            So your from down in that area? Ever been to Uruguay? In my search for areas to flee to from the US it is decently high up on the list. Kind of like my fallback if i can’t get into an AES nation. From what I’ve seen it seems pretty demsoc but atleast stable, and not too likely to go full fash anytime soon from what i was seeing. But it’s hard to know how much of what is available online is accurate.

              Uruguay is a financial cancer to the rest of the region, like Andorra for example, by giving citizenship to any rich dipshit who actually parasites on workers in Argentina or Brasil but they get to pay very low taxes in Uruguay. They should do something about it or be annexed.

              That said, it’s a nice place, it’s indistinguishable from many provinces of Argentina but they have different money and low inflation. And yeah they are the most progressive place in the region right now. Oh and their beaches are nice too.

                Ah yeah i figured there must be something like that i wasnt hearing about. It seemed too weak to be so peaceful without some sort of international backing. So it being backed by elites globally as a tax haven makes sense.

                I’m guessing that stability it enjoys wouldn’t last long then in a global crisis.

      I’m generally distrustful already, but I’m especially distrustful of White people who claim to be big ‘animal lovers’.

      I had an ex who visited my home country with me. Some areas are dirty and very poor, lots of people working, walking, and kids begging for money. She was fine with all of it until she saw some puppies in the street, then she cried and became critical of how unsafe it was for puppies to be in that environment. Accused my family and I about being heartless because we didn’t mind the dogs. Oh, but fuck the kids, right? Needless to say, it didn’t go over well.

        It amazes me sometimes how normalized it is in the minds of white people to see human beings as sub-human and not worthy of their empathy. Like I’ve had white people get mad at me for saying that I care about people in the global south. Or even just for bringing up their suffering. They’ll be like, “Well what do you want me to do about it??” Uh idk maybe not dismiss it? Maybe give a shit? Is that so hard to do?
