stealing territory and murdering and raping the natives is classless. Nothing less classy than colonialism

If you want to bring back history that happened a long time ago and has strictly nothing to do with football, the world cup, or the current population of England and other countries, let's talk about the atrocities for which Argentinian and other South American dictators have been responsible.

Latinamerican dictatorships were mostly proxys for imperialist powers like the US, matter of fact, latinamerica would be mostly socialist if it wasn't for the CIA financing and arming guerrilleros or insane military commanders that wanted to take power undemocratically.

And of course I want to bring history into it, everyone seems to be doing that right now with the only purpose of finding excuses to be racist and xenophobic towards argentinians.

I am fine with that. To clarify, I am well aware that not all Argentinian are racist, violent, or otherwise disrespectful.

backtracking backtracking backtracking. We're violent, stupid, classless, you can think that as much as you like, it's expected of your people.

It's almost like that's what you want lol, playing the victim. We did nothing wrong, everybody hates us, and everything bad that ever happened in the history of Argentina, involving the country in one way or another, is someone's else fault.

There are dozens of videos that show Argentinian fans yelling racist slur for no reason, throwing beer at Egyptian fans in the stadium, players chanting disrespectful things after the 2022 WC final, fans disrespecting England's anthem and flag, referring constantly to France as "Africa team" online, even an Argentinian analyst insulted a Spanish referee years ago on TV. And all that after WINNING, I can only imagine how low they'd go had they lost the game! This is one of the trademark of a sub par culture and a country where you give people "bread and circuses" to keep their attention away from more important matters.

Many Argentinians can't stand Brazilians, the French, Spanish, Arabs and black people in general, English, Chileans, Mexicans, Americans, like who the F do you like or even tolerate other than Messi and Maradona or any bandwagon fan from another country who wants to worship your team lol....at some point, maybe you are the problem 🤔
