@darthchingaso3613 Both men are mostly associated with the US' mistreatment of Native Americans than any hero worship, so idk what you're talking about. And specific segments of the population hero worshipping such people is not the same as the mainstream worship of Pancho Villa, and you know damn well. By this logic, we can castigate all societies for having any Nazis or Communists in their populations at all. What matters is the mainstream beliefs, not the minority, let alone extreme minorities. Trump says a lot of things. His thing as a populist is to say so many things, regardless of how much sense they make. And Trumpists, for all of their faults, also don't take everything he says seriously either. Again; mainstream beliefs does not equate to idiotic statements by public officials and/or minorities within the populace. Pancho Villa was a part of the 20th century when such meaningless deaths was seriously being called into question. It's the era where countries seriously began to try and hide their less savory activities for the sake of international appearance. Humanism was having its heyday in this time. So no, whether you like it or not, it's disgusting how Mexicans can hero worship such a figure even in the modern era. If it was back then, then fine, whatever, but now? Disgusting. Edit: And you being an American doesn't change anything. An idiot American shilling for foreign peoples is hardly new.

@jaimeruiz521 The fact that Pancho Villa can be compared to Southern Jim Crow laws is damning him, not helping him. Muricans look at that period with shame, and you think that men comparable to such shame is laudable?

@darthchingaso3613 Wrong era. Prople in thr late 18th to early 19th century are excused. No American excuses their "heroes" in the early 20th century if they did terrible things. If anything they're highly criticized. This whataboutism doesn't even work.

@jaimeruiz521 So he was a xenophobic bandit? Even better. It says more about the people that worship him than anything else.

@darthchingaso3613 You're pretending that racism against non-majority peoples was restricted in Murica? Mexico was very brutal to their minorities. Stop deflecting and shilling. You can call out something gross in another country without deflecting to someone else.
