Not an argument but my leftist dad has been obnoxious since he came to Taiwan. He's never forgiven them for aiding Guatemala's right-wing dictators. So he keeps making jokes about Taiwan being the rebellious province of China in front of my wife's family. Thankfully she's the only one in her family that can speak fluent Spanish and just chuckles at them.
thats funny because my grandma loves taiwan for the exact same reason. she is also always talking about how great the united fruit company is which is a hilariously out-of-touch opinion
What a fucking idiot. Sounds like my relatives in Miami.
well shes relatively biased considering her family were heavily involved in building railroads for the united fruit company to ship their plantation crops out of the country lol. she is even so insane as to keep an american flag in her home because of how much she loves america. I wouldn't say its necessarily idiocy than self-interest
In a way that makes it a little better. I'm used to hearing that sort of bullshit from someone with no involvement whatsoever living in Guatemala City.
nah my family was highly involved. our hometown is olanchito in honduras which is literally the same place ramón amaya amador is from and was describing in prisión verde when he fled to your country before its untimely coup. typical palestinian shit from the '22 generation lmao
