And there were dozens of beheaded/raped babies on Oct. 7, sure. I’d wipe my ass with western testimonies but I’d end up with more shit.

They hated him because he told them the truth

The only way to reach westerners is on the other side of a crisis that affects them personally. Anyone who can see the malicious cruelty of everyday life in America as well as the huge misery they export everywhere else and either pretend they don’t know or shrug it off ain’t gonna be converted by morality or reason, they’re gonna be reached once it happens to them or the handful of people they might actually care about.

I personally try to be helpful and nicer when somebody’s shown genuine curiosity or naive misguidedness. We’ve all been there at one point. But there’s far too many who are just parroting the US line as if it were gospel and I don’t think ridiculing them is even the worst option.

There it is. If you’re not a liberal you’re personally getting checks written by Putin or whomever’s the villain of the month.

My grandma has been at that stage for 8 years after a stroke that left her half paralyzed, and she doesn’t have one percent as much access to care as these ghouls. I won’t be holding my breath.

Can you point me to a party that holds any significant amount of power that isn’t just a Tory with a different preference for what sort of worker gets killed at the altar of capital today?

I wonder what groKKK thinks of this

Eventually, sure. But we’re not at a place politically where that is feasible or even desirable.

God damn, you gotta stop treating theslappablejerk’s videos as rhetorical guides.

I’m also guessing that you didn’t actually read the article you linked because its says the same thing I’m saying:

Articles aren’t for reading, they’re for headline skimming so you can look like you have sources. If they fail, there’s always another one to try, you can even pretend that means evidence is overwhelming!

no no no, you don’t get it. Putin has paid the US billionaire president (or blackmailed him, or charmed him, whatever), which means everyone aligned with the government is a Russian propagandist, unless they say exactly what I want to believe about the Aveng- I mean about Ukraine.

Friendly reminder that there’s a provision in the UN charter for members of the security council to engage in acts of war without approval from other members against WW2 axis powers if they reinstate policies of aggression.

They can’t be as bad as the book because they can’t have a marathon length monologue to end them

If anything, I’d want them to keep Texas and give back the rest

Not really, no. Everyone I know who’s anti US intervention here acknowledges that this government has fallen rather short in basically every regard concerning their opportunist left wing rhetoric. That doesn’t absolve the CIA and the US altogether from their responsibility in the perpetuation of such systems, they’re principally at fault for the problem and principally to blame for these astroturfed protests.

This has been their playbook for decades, they’ve done it rather recently in dozens of countries and they’re not even trying to be subtle about it. Can’t say I blame them, given that there’s clearly people stupid enough to go along with it.

Mexico does have a higher proportion of conservatives in Gen Z than any other demographic, but they’re still not a majority.

The reason that is, is because of our proximity to the US and its huge propaganda machine as well as concerted efforts by our media to paint conservatism as the real principled rebellion yadda yadda.

This has also been largely successful due to morena’s milquetoast succdem fence-sitting bullshit giving plenty of ammunition to the propagandists regarding issues which are important to young people, such as housing, reasonable working hours, quality public services (especially transportation) and a livable wage, most of which have been addressed with the standard “we can’t fix it unless we make sure the private sector can gouge us for it”. The issues of organized crime and their stranglehold on local economic activity (with near total impunity) have been better addressed than they were during Calderon’s term, but they’re still full of half measures at the best of times and young people are legitimately tired of the glacial pace of this administration.

There comes a point where cautious incrementalism reveals itself as stalling, darnos atole con el dedo, so to speak. That’s the reason the left wing protests a week prior were more succesful but they were just as much a protest against the US as they were about discontent with the Mexican government.

So y’all have worn out atrocity propaganda so thin that we’re now gonna have to take atrocity prophesizing?

Not even two comments in and it’s already full on white supremacist “barbaric hordes” talking points

No, defending their sovereignty is what the people of the Donbas did after the US couped Yanukovich.

If they did, you would have linked to that and it would have been plastered all over the internet. What do you think?
