Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

At this point, leftists in non-American countries can simply appropriate nationalistic aesthetics and just accuse their countries right wing of being “American puppets” and it wouldn’t even be a lie.

Look at Farage in the UK, if I was a Brit and called him an American puppet most Brits would either agree or also agree but say that it’s a good thing, actually.

The problem isn't just public appeal, it's the dependency relationships fascist politicians are there to reinforce. You cannot make change by merely pointing out hypocrisy. Exposing the structure of neocolonialism empowers the people to strike at it.

Will Milei prostrate himself before the Americans? It's what he's always done before.

Honestly, I thought he had already sold every square inch of nationalized Argentinian assets along with every inch of copper wiring in their walls to the US years ago.
