Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

The way i figure prolly spain, britain or usa by absolute numbers has passed it some time ago. You can divide church failings in like "shit church started", "shit church blessed" "shit church closed its eyes to". Past 17th century colonialism was self fueling, and didn't need "bringing the good word" fig leaf

more than half of the awful shit "spain" did was under the catholic church's authority, and they continued being shits after independence

If there's one thing you could destroy that would bring about the Messiah it would be Javier Milei

Hilariously this wouldn't bring about the Messiah, as it's not even the dome of the rock, or on a site that's particularly holy to Judaism or Christianity, being outside the old temple proper.

Except, of course, as the likely historical location of jesus-cleanse
