    I’m currently in incredible awe by the absolute decadence and luxury the mexican bourgeoisie lives in. I mean, I know they are opullent, but just watched some videos on TikTok of the kind of places they live in and holy shit! I will never in my life be able to afford even the cheapest one. The comfort and luxury these people live in is something that make even my wildest fantasies come out short. I was thinking that if I ever get to movw out of my mother’s house and live in a modest and moderately comfortable place some day that would maybe be too much. I sometimes feel guilty of wanting to live like that in a country with so much inequality, but these parasites are literally galaxies beyond what I could even dream. It is impressive, disgusting, outrageous, depressing. I don’t know how I really feel about that. Amusement? Hate? Rage? Hopelesness? Don’t know.

      Now imagine the amount of labour needed to upkeep those places and guess who does the job… the mexican ‘patron’ is the worst scum on earth (prob the same as other latin american countries), utterly incompetent, disgusting attitude towards workers (malinchistas) and they are all alcoholics. I come from a landowner class in north mexico, inherited a big chunk of hectares of land so i have experience dealing with other patrones, its like they make them out of moulds.

      Completely conformist with our position as raw material producers they have managed to manipulate people through mass media into thinking that it is more profitable to sell raw materials than making commodities with it . Utterly incompetent and lazy drunkards. 😂
