Visited Mexico 3 times, starting in 3rd grade. Only time I felt unsafe was going through a Federales checkpoint and an officer walked up to the car with a submachine gun.
You’re damn right about the poverty, but for the most part, people are nice, they just want to be, and let others be.
Some place not being safe is defined as greater than n rate of insert list of bad things per capita.
For most folks 100 in 100k murdered annually is pretty unsafe whereas 5 is pretty safe.
But even if it were 1000 in 100k the other 99k still living could argue its not that bad!
You basically can’t go to almost any population center without what the civilized world considers unacceptable risk whereas I can stroll through the “bad” part of my city at 2AM and mostly risk seeing gross people doing drugs.
Mexico is objectively unsafe. Some parts of states are too like st Louis
Maybe get off your computer chair once in a while and actually go outside and visit these places you know absolutely nothing about. I just came back from Honduras for a few months. And guess what I’m still alive and well and it was one of the best, humbling trips I’ve ever taken and I’m hugely grateful for the experience. See that? You actually learn something when you travel, as opposed to being a toxic know-nothing online. If no one else already told you today, go fuck yourself and have a nice day.
But remember, against the narcos “hugs, not bullets”, welcome to the México Lemmy keeps saying I lie about.

And why don’t you go to Culiacan next time?

Unsafe doesn’t mean 100 incidence of death it means greater than tolerance levels of risk.

I’m stuggling to believe you were “one of those poor people” in Mexico and your dad was kidnapped in Hondouras.

And taken to Hondouras?
I’m sorry what?
