That's the normal stance on Lemmy.

It was founded by communists, so you'd better get used to it

He definitely has. A few years ago, San Salvador was known as the murder capital of the world, but nowadays it's one of the safest places to live.

There's still a lot of beef with Europe in both Latin America and Africa. Even if you ignore colonialism, Europe's cold war era track record in those areas is... Not good to say the least.

What's the guarantee that Europe will actually bring peace and stability and not just install far-right dictators when it's convenient for them?

People expect to pay a carpenter or a plumber for their services, why shouldn't entertainers and content creators be allowed to get paid for their work?

It is kinda bad. Especially when it comes to finding content or getting noticed

Which is why it's a big irony when people come to Lemmy to complain about communism/socialism.

Like, man, you are on a decentralized network run by volunteers who don't want to be monetized. You want to enjoy the benefits of socialism but at the same time complain about how bad it is and promote capitalism.

So your grudge isn't about people calling out the genocide? It is specifically about the "genocide joe" moniker?

[–] Muyal@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (9 children)

Either you are blind or don't want to hear it. People have been calling out Trump for this genocide since day one. Heck, there's hundreds of posts doing that right now on Lemmy

If you want Chichen Itzá to turn into a quiet library it's not going to happen.

It's one of the seven wonders of the modern world, you have the same experience if you visit the Vatican or the pissa tower.

There are many other sites in Yucatan that don't receive as many visitors like ek' balam and mayapan. Those are usually less crowded.

All of these had to be closed off because jackasses who tried to take away a piece of the monument, or because they didn't tread well and fell down.

I've been there many times.

"My objection is to the authorities who have permitted this kind of presence at a heritage site"

Not allowing them would wreck the local economy. It will not happen.

No matter how much you try, Chichen Itzá will never be tranquil, it is visited by thousands of tourists every day, so it will always be crowded and full of voices.

Vendors are usually local indigenous people, and selling to tourists is their only source of income, it would be silly on their part not to take advantage of the situation.
