20. Spend some of your time doing your homework on the known history of US relations toward LatAm.

That would require YOUR initiative, YOUR hard work, just as those who are informed on the subject have already exerted theirs.

Informed people learned, through their own intelligence, thought, and natural curiosity what has not been included in right-wing versions of US history.

Talk to actual Latin American people who have lived through the aftermath of US actions in their countries throughout their lives.

You have a lot of education ahead of you, if you can give up some of your time trying to rip into people who've gone out of their way to find out for themselves what it is behind statements like "Yanqui, go home" in countries south of the U.S. border.

Spend some of your time trying to flail people who know, to find out for yourself, by investing your energy in something real, something productive, something worthwhile.
