Sure, but almost all of Mexico identifies as Catholic but church going is mostly reserved for special occasions like baptisms and the big religious holidays. You'll see the crucifixes, the Jesus pictures and whatnot but it's not like they're on that annoying protestant bullshit.
I do listen to Soberanía, and Ive been a sympathizer of morena, but those dudes are at CDMX which is a huge city but not really representative of smaller cities away from central Mexico, and local corruption is way outside their scope. The level of embezzlement I see at the local level has been subtler than in previous decades, yes, but it's still been rather obvious. I've family working for government contractors and there's still ridiculous overcharging (and sometimes refusal to pay backed by organized crime violence) in my state and municipality, both of which are morena and both of which have a mayor/governor who was previously PRI.
Not only that, the mayor used to work closely with a former state attorney who used to force people to give up their properties under threat of death for them or their family.
Either cynics are right and this is just a rebranded return to the early era PRI, or the party leadership is full of incompetent fucks who can't see an opportunist a mile away. There seems to be no party discipline away from the federal level.
I'm a Mexican who's lived in Mexico my entire life, I'm not interested in the US doing anything but fucking off and dying. But this administration has been working hard to lose whatever good will AMLO had fostered by endlessly capitulating, saying one thing and doing the other, not to mention how much they drag their feet with the most basic-ass campaign promises they've made. They have no fucking excuses now, they have the house, the Senate, the presidency and the fucking courts and they're twiddling their fucking thumbs on anything except what the US asks for.
They've failed to attack the financial mechanisms of organized crime presumably bc pulling on that thread could expose a bunch of embezzlement and corruption by officials who have been absolved of their sins for jumping like rats from the sinking ship that is PRI and PAN and onto morena. Not that the US wouldn't have balked at it, since it's their bankers raking it in.
The Nuremberg trials were also a fucking disgrace that exonerated most of the nazis and prosecuted a few high ranking officials that were not useful enough to be part of Operation Paperclip or put onto one of the many Nazi ratlines, or a stay behind operation in Gladio.
There's a reason the nazis fled to the west, they knew the middle of Berlin was where justice stopped.
What's controversial is that people are assuming he's talking about the left when he's kind of talking about the US at large as far as I can tell (and this is still a largely English language platform). Not that BE ain't insufferable, a hot take merchant and needlessly confrontational at times but he ain't wrong. If this hadn't happened libs would still be arguing that he should have asked for congressional approval.
DNC strategists already thinking up ways to get him to (appear to) compromise and instead find a way to sell giving ICE more resources and permanent lodging as the progressive solution
Y'all could take time and resources to investigate which one it was and under what room but since that's apparently not how things are done anymore maybe a nice [TALKING TO AND FINGER WAGGING] should be done to every agent in the building idk
On the one hand, death to settlers, on the other, events like these are just the exact scenario for the State Dept to deploy their bot army to get whatever they want trending
Surely at some point there's gonna be retaliation? I get all that might makes right shit but surely they're not gonna let the US just take everything at anytime completely unopposed just because they keep the finger on the red button
