Can we get one of these for the rest of North America?

Surely they're not all morons?

[-] superfes@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, they're all morons.

Well, not all those who live in cartel territory are members, but it's still a presence that affects their day to day lives.

Those in Utah that aren't Mormons still have to live by their rules.

DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB

That's just a map of police departments.

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

Loblaws Cartel is covering most of Canada

In collusion with Sobeys, Rogers, and Bell

[-] Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

The gang and set structure is wayyyyyyy too wishy washy to do this sort of map in the U.S.

From my experience, it's common for several different gangs to operate in the same area with no issues, and when there are actual territories controlled it's usually on the neighborhood level and not the city or state level.

What's with Coahuila? Almost looks like the cartels intentionally stay out.

The posts with links says that the police are the cartel there.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

I went and researched it on my own too, seems much more likely that those people that said that just want to believe it rather than that this state actually functions properly.

Per the legend, it's not clear of cartels as in much of the Yucatán peninsula, but has smaller local groups. The colors should probably have been made less similar to avoid confusion.

How can consumers boycott these criminals?

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

Don't consume fentanyl. Grow your own coca leaves and opiates if you do partake in those drugs. Buy American avocados instead of imported ones.

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah the avocado is spot on!

[-] masterspace@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Support the legalization of drugs in your state and push your politicians to legalize them so that they can be manufactured locally.

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I do support legalization as it will reduce the stigma for getting help.

[-] PenisWenisGenius@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 week ago

By smoking American weed.

What is the golden triangle?

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 1 week ago
[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 week ago

Ok. Now there is two... no four... no five... no six golden triangle I don't understand!

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe the real golden triangle was the koroks we launched into canyons along the way ☺️

[-] figjam@midwest.social 5 points 1 week ago

Isn't "disputed territory" like the most dangerous gang?

[-] Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Unironically kind of.

In solid gang territory you'll face extortion and violence and all sorts of issues.

Disputed territories can become literal war zones with massacre and war crimes that would make the Nuremberg judges blush.

That's not to say solidly controlled areas are safe, massacre still happen there too.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Who is the dispute with on the left, since there are no other cartels listed near it?

[-] youngalfred@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

"northeast"
