Ok, let's disengage

Not really, zed. I dont think it should be embraced as our identity. I just think it should not come across as surprising that a Honduran considers Honduras a western country. That it would be more productive to point out that class relations within Honduras supersede such cultural ties, instead of antagonizing him with how much a northern european would not consider him western.

I also dont think when people from Latam understand their countries as western are they unaware of the reality of colonization and exploitation by the global core. Conflation of western and global north and central economies is not as common within Latam as it seems to be tô you guys from other regions of The globe.

Please do not accuse me of glorifying colonization. I dont think my post allows that reading

The shared cultural heritage between latin american and "western in the strictest sense" countries seems to be weaponized by certain groups within latin american societies. Because of this, I don't think we should completely disregard what our comrade from Honduras points out.

I made an effort post with a more detailed account of this view over at /c/effort but this is the bottom line.

It is patronizing when you consider agreeing with your position to be

the UTMOST FUNDAMENTAL basis upon which to change your lives

Like yeah, thanks buddy, I'll go with our Honduran comrade in trying to remind Hexbear that latin american people should be taken as having their own thoughts and motivations

Yeah, real difference in vocabulary vibes on this exchange

It has been reduced, yes

Steve ellner is a great scholar. Thanks for sharing, comrade!

Do you mind explaining more the similarity between Peru and Argentina's laws? Seems like a interesting point

Translation:

Good fights evil

Good tortures evil

Good kills and hides the body of evil

Thank god we are on the good side

New site tagline just dropped

Nice share, comrade

A mediator does not have The same powers as an arbitrator to issue a binding decision, but organizes the dialogue and seeks to guide the discussion towards agreement between the parties.

The 1900 decision that Venezuela claims had been invalid, for example, was issued by an arbitration panel. Once the parties accept its formation they also agree to bê bound by its decision
