Define 'IRONY!' Angry Mob Screams, "yankee Go Home!" (Mex)
Mexico City Protest Against American Ex-Pat 'Invasion' Turns Violent
Hmmm. I wonder how they feel when unwelcome outsiders come in steal all the resources and turn everything you know into a shitshow? In case you’re wondering, I’m referring to when yankees cross OUR borders, not Mexicans. As the great Clyde Wilson always said, ‘We’ve suffered a lot more from yankee immigration than we have from Mexican immigration.’ - DD
In a role reversal that underscores a universal resentment of economic and social impacts caused by a major influx of foreigners, demonstrators marched in Mexico City on Friday to protest against the city's status as a hot new residential destination for American ex-pats and remote workers. Though it started peacefully, many demonstrators turned violent, with some of them accosting Americans and smashing the restaurants, banks and other businesses that cater to them.
Protesters destroying shit of some business.
Angered by soaring rents they rationally blame on foreigners, hundreds of protesters marched through Condesa and Roma -- two neighborhoods that are particularly popular with Americans living in or visiting Mexico City -- and proceeded to the US embassy and to a metro station. Their signs expressed a variety of sentiments:
Gringo: Stop Stealing Our Home
Mexico For Mexicans
Pay Taxes, Speak Spanish, Use Pesos Or Get Out Of Here
Death To The Neo-Colonizer
Expat = Gentrifier
Your New Home Is An Invasion
Gentrification = Neo-Colonization
To Gentrify Isn't Progress, It's Dispossession
We Shouldn't Feel Like Foreigners In Our Own Land
Some of the demonstrators started attacking businesses in Condesa and Roma, smashing windows, spray-painting graffiti, tearing down awnings, vandalizing cars, completely destroying a restaurant patio, and looting. A Starbucks outlet was among the most-damaged properties…
This is correct. Weather they're southern or northern well to do American city folk are the death of an affordable and functional community. Cities by design are extractive. They'd be really tucked if we refused to grow GMO corn and soy, got into poly face forestry farming like Joel, and used it only to feed our own people and bolster our own health and intelligence. The tables would turn.
Their president is a Jew cunt and they have no idea 😂
