    These are all just more crimes done by the same people. It’s kinda why I like the Epstein coalition as a phrase. Not because Epstein is being distracted from but because he was an avatar of these people’s beliefs.

    Like the opening salvo being murdering school girls highlights the absolute disgust these freaks have for woman, kids, and really all of humanity as a whole. Just like all the Epstein shit shows the same.

      David Kucinich said something similar, and it shocked me that this is how Democrats talk now:

      (CW: Discussion of SA, Child Abuse, Murder, War)

      Chapo/TrueAnon is the future of rank-and-file American Liberals, they were just ahead of the curve.

        Kucinich has always been a real one. He comes to our Palestine protests in Cleveland sometimes.

    As an Iranian, (the AI bots really poisoned that statement) - I think these memes are good because they redirect the news to something that causes internal pressure against the US administration.

      The internal pressure isn’t really tangible though. It’s a spectacle, but I don’t really think any opposition is actually organizing around it like they do around other issues.

      El Mencho, the leader of big cartel in Mexico. He was targeted and killed by the Mexican army using US intel, which provoked a large riot.

        I wouldn’t describe the JNGC retaliation as a ‘riot’ which implies spontaneous participation of the public, it was a paramilitary group engaging in a limited series of attacks against the state(and its civilian infrastructure)

            sure if you use the broadest definition of terrorism i.e. violence perpetrated to elicit a political response

              By the narrowest definition this is terrorism, a non-state organization doing random acts of violence against civilians in order to send a political message to the state.

                So if the organisation perpetrating the violence is a state, then its not terrorism? can an organisation can just declare themselves a state, or is their a threshold recognition by other states that converts terrorism to simply non-terroristic state violence?

                  So if the organisation perpetrating the violence is a state, then its not terrorism?

                  By the narrowest definition (that I do not agree with) no, that is not terrorism. Terrorism is done by non-state actors in the narrowest definition.

                  can an organisation can just declare themselves a state

                  In the same way that Michael Scott can declare Bankruptcy

                  Is there a threshold recognition by other states that converts terrorism to simply non-terroristic state violence?

                  Yes, welcome to geopolitics 101 and the modern concept of nation states.

                  What’s your point here? That the cartels are actually a state? That them attacking random civilians to send a political message to the Mexican government in an attempt to alter their policy is not terrorism, even by the narrowest definition? It is terrorism by all definitions, broad and narrow.
