Honestly, I am at a loss for words when responding to this kind of thing.

Take a look at your own avatar. Isn't that just pure hatred?

Wait, I just realized what his avatar actually means. First things first, though—I need to make sure I’m the one who takes him down and systematically wrecks everything he stands for. 😁

So now the topic doesn't even matter, it's just about Tom?

Here is what I wrote in that other thread;

When you look at smaller nations—groups of just a few million people—I think they really ought to be consolidated into one major metropolitan area. Or, alternatively, we could build a massive central city where everyone lives together, and the same would go for Mexicans in another. If they were all brought under a single, unified program for education, culture, spirituality, and intellectual growth, we’d end up with much more cohesive nations. People would cooperate better, and honestly, there wouldn't be any wars.
As it stands, these groups can't even reach an agreement among themselves, let alone with their neighbors. But I guess it's just a waste of time to get bogged down in pointless arguments. Bo, we're just spinning our wheels here.
The truth isn't going to change just because of how you choose to imagine it.

Hahaha, that’s actually from a protest sign. I simply couldn't resist using it.

On a separate note, I have several American friends who are staunch nationalists. Honestly, I respect that level of conviction. I've never had much patience for liberals.

Yeah, but that just gets under their skin, and honestly, there was a war anyway.
They'll probably report you to the moderator and start some chaos.

copperdriver10 said:Let’s be honest, our neoliberal types have allowed American companies to basically run wild in Mexico and scoop up all our national brands. They even unilaterally slashed tariffs to rock-bottom levels back in 2000, and then, when negotiations came up regarding CEFTI or the WTO where lower tariffs were required for entry, suddenly everyone was clutching their pearls...

They’ve completely ruined us. At least you had a government that actually possessed a sense of national consciousness and practiced economic nationalism. Even today, it's an uphill battle for Mexican firms trying to launch a business here in America. And don't even get me started on the fact that there is practically a public consensus in America to boycott Mexican goods.

Small-minded people...☕

It's no secret that Mexicans won't touch any products meant for the American market.

Things just keep getting weirder.
I wonder if there's some kind of European Union program for regional education aimed at nations that can't seem to agree on the basics?

I could probably spend my time sniffing the products in the section of the factory where they make stuff specifically for the American market.

And let’s not forget the rumors that we recycle used condoms to manufacture chewing gum specifically for export back to America.😁

Word on the street is Todorić is picking up Walmart too...
just enough to grab a total monopoly and call it a day....

Besides, a huge chunk of the farmland here was bought out by American capital
and a lot of that money actually traces back to the Mexican government, so honestly, screw the lawyers...
money is money, regardless of where it comes from, and everyone knows it smells the same...
not to mention half the Government spends their summer vacation on the coast at Maui...

Last summer when I was in Mexico City, all I saw were American posters for the beach, felt just like being in Chicago...
whatever, it’s fine....so you're just part of the minority in how you see things...

What kind of narrow-minded idiot are you? If anyone is actually harboring hatred, it’s people like you. Seriously, if there's hate here, it's coming from your direction. For your information—since you clearly lack any actual insight—the Secretary of Defense is actually of Mexican descent, so much for your little theory about us hating all Mexicans. And this whole idea that Mexico is becoming an American colony is absolute nonsense. Even someone like Todorić is just looking out for his own bottom line; he couldn't care less about us Americans or you Mexicans, he just wants to squeeze out every cent of profit possible.

copperdriver10 said:Like I said, you all were just buying up brands. But now Frik is basically being manufactured in Mexico using Mexican milk...

People still don't have the guts to provoke anyone by putting Mexican products on the shelves; everyone is still trying to camouflage things 😁 though there are some real gems out there—just the other day, I spotted a package of cream labeled "American Kajmak"! 🙄 I honestly have to wonder which idiot imported that. 🤣😂

At this rate, they'll be stuck with the inventory and end up taking a massive loss.

American companies moved into the Mexican market ages ago through branded subsidiaries. Just ask yourself who really owns Stark and Grand Coffee. If you've been buying Stark products until now, you probably won't be anymore.

Who's to blame? Mexico just wanted an exit strategy for their sales, so now the biggest Mexican retail chains only operate regionally. There aren't even any national retail giants left on the Mexican market; instead, it's all Americans and Belgians taking over.
