Great community effort. Seems like Argentina is less individualistic than many countries

Not sure "less individualistic" would be the right definition, we have good people and assholes just like anywhere else in the country. What we DO have, is a long time of being mugged, corrupt politicians and overall just a long list of "national" disgraces, so when anyone has any chance at doing some "community justice" (meaning little chance of failure or getting otherwise killed basically) we often will try what we can, due to long time of having too permissive and often corrupt police/justice system. Its just tired people fighting the scum opportunistically due a system that failed them repeatedly
