I was thinking about this when, I had just had one of those typical first world problems, basically I didn't know whether to soak my cookie in a glass of milk or eat it without milk.

OK, in a moment of self-examination and critical thinking, I realize something, the first world is slowly turning into garbage. Various facts have caused me to think this way. Let's look at the case of the USA, a country whose base is founded on individual freedoms, such as not being able to set up your business in the area you want because you can be sanctioned by law, that the health system causes you to force yourself into debt even so it is evident that you are not able to pay $4000 for a night in a psychiatric hospital, crazy taxes, restrictions regarding the right to abortion, being almost extradited for owning a website that violates copyright in the USA although clearly not you live in the USA but they don't give a fuck anyway... and many examples.

Much of the rubbish ideology of the first world is entering Latam, and I think it is time to kiss the feet of the USA and Europe and focus on ourselves, even if that means overthrowing your own government, proof of the ideological rubbish that is here now , is that members of the LGBTI community in Mexico are pressuring a university for the degree of Christian, a psychology graduate and one of the best students at the university. The reason is that in his graduation farewell speech, he had defended his ideals, his moral and family values, the right to property, in a nutshell a conservative, and I already know the problem that the group may have with these statements, but they forget that a university degree supports your knowledge, not who you are. Revoking the title just for a speech goes against individual freedoms, freedoms that I defend.

I think conservatives are idiots for believing that complying with or adopting certain moral ideas will serve to have a better society, like that Venezuelan politician who proposed to implement the "Qatar law" to punish homosexuals.

But also the counterpart of the conservatives, in addition to the liberals and the wokes, can also act like idiots when they start supporting ideas or proposals to restrict freedom of expression and that only society can think like them.

Lately there has been a phenomenon in Latam that is just being born but it is a matter of time before it explodes and becomes something remarkable, I call this phenomenon, gringophobia, which could really cause a positive phenomenon because as I said before, it's time to detach ourselves from our Latin inferiority complex

Planet Earth was and is garbage, so that makes the first world garbage. I agree that western tax and especially copyright laws are flawed, but socioeconomic inefficiencies and just plain evil things were everywhere on earth at all points of human history. Also, that one university thing. Yeah, it would be bad if his title got revoked just because of his political views. But here are three things: 1. "Family values" is a term that is used to excuse family abuse, including child abuse. Attempts to revoke his title probably contradict individual freedom, but so do his "family values". 2. It might be just few people expressing a desire for him not to get that title, which might be no more bad than that student expressing his views. But if there is a full-on movement to revoke his title, i don't support it. 3. Using graduation speeches to express one's political views is normally bad, even if not bad enough for his title to be revoked.

Perhaps not the US but I'd trade places being born in any European first world country any day of the week, or Canada or Australia.
