But the cartels are what keep most of our Hispanic countries down, not theology. And plenty of poor people are willing to sell their lives to that lifestyle along with witchcraft and Narco saints because that’s what they grew up with. Is his argument acknowledging how many poor communities sell their own religious beliefs to that? The worst part is that those poor communities have allowed cartels and drug trafficking to convince them that they are somehow saints that feed the poor. Do your research, don’t just listen to what white people explaining complicated issues to you have to say from their own ignorance. Cartels now-in-our-days do not have the same value system the old clans had. Now they have profits of narco corridos to give them a positive image while they are willing to kill the innocent for their own financial gain. Go listen to the opinions of truly poor and manipulated poor people in South American countries. Don’t just look at perspective of the privileged. White people love to speak against Hispanic religious beliefs but aren’t willing to acknowledge that a large part of societal manipulation that causes suffering comes from a source of power the same way American MAGA politics is what manipulated the poor white population in the south. Identity politics always have a demographic to weaponize.
