  • Not to lash out at you specifically but why are USians so stubbornly focused on the interacting with politics along the corporate party approved pathways? Even as others tell y'all it's always back to voting, polling, petitions, campaign rallys.

    Join an actual worker's party or volunteer that time towards community outreach orgs rather than the popularity contests of millionaires funded by billionaires. Again, not to go off on you specifically but I've seen this aimless despair all over Lemmy, like everything you could possibly do is useless and, like, yeah, but only if you stay within that framework. That's what the framework was built to do.

  • They also partook in widespread ecocide to starve the natives. They deliberately killed every buffalo they could and let them out to rot.

  • Cares about every genocide except for the real ones

  • Here's hoping. Seems to be the one way (barring total economic collapse and the breakdown of payment systems) for gringos to get on with balkanizing themselves already.

  • Which, indeed, could mean the end of NATO. If it becomes clear that the "alliance" is basically you following the provisions when it serves the US and nobody following them when it doesn't, what's the point of all this legalese?

  • Libs going mask off:

  • I thought the sarcasm was clear from using the meme verbatim

  • Better yet, call them gringos

  • Of course it is lmao

  • It's called neutrality, sweaty, look it up

  • Pablo Escobar was one among many Colombian drug capos, and he had been one in a long list of former CIA operators that were deemed more trouble than they're worth and had to be put down like the rabid dogs they were handsomely paid to be. The right wing militias that killed Escobar's men weren't arming themselves, nor were they getting sponsorships out of the kindness of the US government.

    Narcos in all of Latin America are just Operation Gladio with a different coat of paint.

  • My complaints would be less along those lines (because thats the bogus line that whitexican libs love) and more along the lines of the usual comprador bullshit, regressive taxation that affects working professionals instead of financial speculators, lackluster funding of healthcare/transportation and stupid MBA bullshit within IMSS, lack of local level anti-corruption institutions and protectionism in favor of US companies while acting like it's to protect Mexican jobs.

    It's honestly mostly the protectionism and the lack of local accountability, because most of that shit would be solved , I swear to god local politicians jump from the corrupt ass PRI and it's like they've been baptized in the holy spirit of morena which somehow absolves them of adhering to a national strategy of development or even having to sort of hide the usual blatant embezzlement.

    Not saying the first part is completely false but you can see a clear and marked progression unlike those I pointed out which seem to be one step forward and two steps back.

  • My partner literally woke me up with the news ffs

  • I hope they parade her around only bc the more she's outside the higher the chance we get a certified Charlie K moment

  • The PSUV better get to purging the right wingers yesterday. Theyre not getting a better justification than their treasonous support for this and I wouldn't want them feeling like they can get away with something rn.

  • And the US has tens of millions of Mexicans living in it with lots of family still in Mexico. That's a nice way to get yourself redacted as a politician.

  • Only if they enacted reparations

  • So it's not all bad news

  • I wish every US diplomat a very nice blowback
