Summary

A German tourist was arrested and attacked after climbing the Temple of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza, Mexico, during the spring equinox.

Video footage shows locals shouting insults and physically confronting the man as National Guard personnel detained him.

The temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, is off-limits to climbers due to preservation laws and safety concerns.

Violators face fines up to $16,000 and possible prison time.

The incident occurred amid a crowd of 8,000–9,000 visitors.

    Colonialism is also about displacing native/local culture which is what a lot of these digital nomads are doing. One example I’ve seen are the digital nomads trying to stop locals from walking on the public beaches in front of their properties.

      You’re not a digital nomad if you own property though, or my definition of digital nomad is wrong

      So the Turks are colonising my country 🌝 wolf or whatever they keep saying

      If it’s a public beach then there’s nothing they can do about it.

      Just go there with the whole family and let Karen frown
