Is it true that Latin America is culturally 15 years behind the west or are they up-to-date now due to the proliferation of the internet?
Is it true that Latin America is culturally 15 years behind the west or are they up-to-date now due to the...
Short answer, yes.
kek
The west was already fucked 15 years ago
Apart from that: They have instagram down there as well.
>Latin America is culturally 15 years behind the west
What does that even mean?
Do people not use terms like fire, lit, toxic, savage, bruh, squad? Are gender politics not at a boiling point and are people generally not confused or walking on egg shells about minorities and protected groups? do kids not spend thousands of dollars on expensive clothes that look used? Are people not buying clothes more and more from thrift stores? Are young adults not vaping like mad? Are people not tattooing their faces? Are there no fucking
Are you not as fucking culture as we are you fucking peasant?!?!?!?!
>people walking on egg shells about minorities and protected groups?
not at all
.......btw what's vaping?
That's not how culture works.
"15 years behind culturally". This doesn't make any sense
Gender and Identity politics were never used as a wedge issue to divide socialists into a thousand little tribes by the neoliberals and conservatives. So they're still just another part of larger anti-classist initiatives and they receive no special attention. Nor do they distract from socialist initiatives. By US measure then, Latin America is still in the 60s.
Thrift stores yes, fast fashion is a global phenomena, so well made used clothing has more demand. I imagine that's true worldwide. A lot of the clothes is donated American clothes, of course, but sorting out all the XXXL charity softball t-shirts takes a while so they're still sold at a premium.
the correct question
The capitalist / Western consumerist culture takes 15 years to have some influence in LatAm?
answer:
no, with the internet and the media, the influence takes little time.
nicotine in candy flavors dispensed from a usb stick looking device in the form of smoke/vaper
Depends on the country
You see all that shit in the high class young people here (except socialism, it's dead since everyone who agreed with it is in a mass grave)
>in candy flavors
>dispensed from a usb stick looking device
wow
has science gone too far?
Latin America needd money to be a consumer lmao
I'm sure most of that bullshit only happens in the US, in which racism has been so culturally important and prevalent that now when the world agrees it's a wrong practice they still struggle to avoid racist connotations and hunt it down zealously as if it were a new form of inquisition.
what a cringy vomit inducing post
>it's dead since everyone who agreed with it is in a mass grave
Kek. Something similar happened here. Anyone who wanted a better quality of life for the people is in a mass grave, while anyone who could rebuild the country from its ruins left to the United States. The only ones left here are the lowest of the scum, those who live because God has commanded them to not die, the ones who couldn't give more shits about others than raping someone and getting shitfaced at night.
The true heirs of El Salvador live far from their ancestral home. There are nothing but ruins within these borders.
If you call what you sent here, your best. I have no hope for you guys back home
t.half Salvi
Some idiots here vape to look hip. The only kind of stores you see here are thrift stores. Nobody can't tattoo their face because they get shot on sight (by gangs). Our current president has given all the ministry titles to women, although this is an international PR stunt.
Our current social issues are:
1. Gangs, which are now a sustainable lifestyle for the general population, which does not want to seek education or work. They're also important for the distribution and transport of drugs by our politicians, and also strong political allies.
2. The general population who lives in poverty and perpetuate the memes of poverty such as alcoholism, child labor, family violence, favor of manual labor over education, hypersexuality, abhorrence of family planning, and belonging to a gang.
3. Protestantism, which has proliferated as the most profitable business to take advantage from the poor, an institution that condones poorshit immorality and a facade for gangs to shield on.
What do you mean? We really sent our best. By now the guys who left during the war range from common american citizens with common american problems to bigshots at important hospitals and other institutions.
But yes, we're really fucking fucked over here. This is hell.
As a fellow latina I can say that Salvadorian immigrants aren’t that bad. They are just kinda sad to look at. Most of them are still working class even though some of them have been here for more than 25 years. They live in the shitty apartments in ghetto areas, are fat/obese, act like low class people and they don’t push their own kids/grandkids to pursue anything worthwhile. Most of their kids have ended up, at most, going to college (which is like community college in the states) and become immigration office workers or social workers.
lol no
That may have been the case of the time, but the fellow Salvi's here, didn't really put much stock into assimilating soon enough, it isn't uncommon to see a first or second gen Salvi still speak in broken Spanish, they're very prone to forming ghettos (Much more than the Mexicans), and making fun of people who try to better themselves. We eventually moved from our old neighborhood because the Salvadorean culture is very anti progress here, people would actively criticize me and my relatives for seeking higher education, and don't start me on the gangs.
Basically this too
>people would actively criticize me and my relatives for seeking higher education
I never understood this. Also how can you migrate to another country that has loads of opportunities for you in order to make it in life and you choose to stay at the same level you were back in your home country?
