"Gringo Go Home" is a Psyop by the Latin Elite

They need someone to take the heat while they continue to get wealthy

The "Gringo Go Home" wave springs up every so often. Like most other liberal movements, I have to assume that someone behind the scenes is funding it. It's likely the wealthy class that wants foreigners to be blamed instead of the local elite. Here is my theory: in the case of Mexico City, the majority of foreigners live in "The Bubble" neighborhoods such as Condesa, Roma, and Polanco.

These are already trendy neighborhoods with upscale cafes and restaurants. They are coined as Barrios Mágicos, designated by the government as tourist areas. The "Gringo Go Home" hype largely comes from expats coming to this area and supposedly raising the prices and gentrifying, but let's look at the history.

Condesa:
Codesa was explicitly created as an upper-class area.

The only time it was ever cheap was after the 1985 earthquake. Much of the property was bought up at low prices and quickly turned into an upscale bohemian-vibed neighborhood. Many of the older apartments are simply converted mansions. Typically, the poor do not buy property after a collapse, it's people that already have large cash pools. Property was so inexpensive that many of the landlords in this area are now wealthy older individuals.

If you have ever lived in this area, you'll notice that many buildings have remnants of upper-class lifestyles. My friends and I in the area have vestigial maid's quarters in our rooms. Mine has been converted into a laundry room (with its own bathroom and shower). To be frank, the poor were never meant to afford their own place in these neighborhoods. If you lived here before the rise of remote workers, you were already well-off; you were the local Mexican who had gentrified the neighborhood beforehand.

The issue is that the biggest complainers don't live in these neighborhoods. It's like living in the Bronx and complaining that Manhattan is too expensive, not understanding that you were never meant to live in Manhattan to begin with. Yes, prices have gone up because the entire world is going through economic change, but who owns everything? Gringos don't own enough to dictate the prices of goods, and they aren't on any political or housing boards. It's the wealthy real estate and business owners living in the hills who raise the prices.

Wealthy Mexicans have learned from previous revolutions to isolate themselves from the lower class.
They need to create scapegoats.
Who better to shift the blame to than foreigners?

A whole class of Mexicans living in the Calabasas of Mexico City are telling middle class and poor Mexicans to hate gringos. So they can keep their livelihoods

This is similar to dumb Americans saying Mexicans are taking American jobs… when they should be blaming the corporations like Amazon for moving warehouses to Tijuana.

One of the gripes is that gringos don’t pay income tax. Guess what.. neither do Mexicans. Mexicans despise their government’s corruption, and everyone loves to make their money under the table. Richer Mexicans have multiple bank accounts to hide their income. My landlord gave me specific instructions on how to deposit money into his many accounts so that he doesn't have large payments to one account.
A tidbit is that most Americans don’t pay taxes either..

Finally, I find it interesting that the upset Mexicans typically speak English very well, often attended private schools, and have free time to be on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit. This is very similar to the coastal elites in America, the woke intellectuals and useful idiots.
So next time you see and article demeaning expats for ruining the neighborhood, just remember… there are 23 million people in Mexico city. even 100k expats won’t put a dent in things.
And remember this exert from Ted Kaczynski’s “The System’s Neatest Trick”

“The university intellectuals also play an important role in carrying out the System's trick. Though they like to fancy themselves independent thinkers, the intellectuals are (allowing for individual exceptions) the most oversocialized, the most conformist, the tamest and most domesticated, the most pampered, dependent, and spineless group in America today. As a result, their impulse to rebel is particularly strong. But, because they are incapable of independent thought, real rebellion is impossible for them. Consequently they are suckers for the System's trick, which allows them to irritate people and enjoy the illusion of rebelling without ever having to challenge the System's basic values. Because they are the teachers of young people, the university intellectuals are in a position to help the System play its trick on the young, which they do by steering young people's rebellious impulses toward the standard, stereotyped targets: racism, colonialism, women's issues, etc. Young people who are not college students learn through the media, or through personal contact, of the "social justice" issues for which students rebel, and they imitate the students. Thus a youth culture develops in which there is a stereotyped mode of rebellion that spreads through imitation of peers—just as hairstyles, clothing styles, and other fads spread through imitation.”
