Mexico’s ‘Gen Z rebellion’ exposed as viral right-wing plot

that's because the foreign influence is at the heart of almost all of the issues that mexico is facing rn.

the institutions would be so weak for american capitalism didn't force them to be and the cartles wouldn't be so powerful if the cia/atf did help them so much.

you should also consider that one of those biggest problems -- the cartels -- would not be so successful if it weren't for american intervention; either through training from the school of americas (i forget what it's new name is now) or by literally giving them weaponry like they did the "fast and furious" program a few years ago or the iran contra much longer ago.

they didn't grow to become powerful on their own and they continue to get support that the world won't know about until the freedom of information act applies 25 years from now.

i troubles me when the mexican genz influencers on social media speak as neutrally as possible when talking about either morena or pan/pri/moviemento.

i get that they're not trying to offend (and most of them say exactly this) but i wish they would adopt a more honest/genuine take like their mexican-american cousins do because they make their biases clear, where it's easy to mistake the biases of the mexicans.

i love british scifi, comedy, literature, and the lofty aspirations of og liberal thinkers from centuries past.

i think it's a result of growing up inside the anglosphere.

no one is immune to propaganda and both goebbels and bernays have demonstrated to the world how effectively critical thinking can be shaped through controlled narratives.

china exhibits draconian measures to issues like tiananmen because it was a genuine protest and DEEPLY inconvenient for the chinese government. it was only one of many protests that caused civil unrest throughout the entire country (ie it was much bigger than just tiananmen square) and they really don't want a repeat of that violence.

in typical western fashion, the legacy media latched onto a kernel of truth and shaped the narrative of that a fledgling neoliberal democracy movement when the truth was that the protesters that pushed for such a thing were an overwhelmingly small minority when you consider the huge number of protestors taking to the streets during that time throughout the entire country.

china doesn't have oligarchic ruling class solidarity like the united states or the rest of west does so it's silencing of dissent is much more blunt and direct through government apparatuses where the western oligarchies prefers to employ significantly more subtle and easier to hide dissent silencing like deplatforming and sanctions against individuals like francesca albanese or 9 of the icc judges.

that magat characterization makes sense if you were aware that magats perceive the world through intentional misinformation that's perpetually reinforced in the west by the likes of fox news (for red maga) and the likes of the state department (for blue maga).

also any conspiracy theory is not necessary when the accusations have been confirmed multiple times during congressional hearings by the likes of the state state department and it's ngo's when they publicly admitted (on the record btw) that they intentionally peddled propaganda to the public.

your centuries old examples of us-uk belligerence feels cherry picked when better examples like the suez canal incident makes it clear who's calling the shots.

the us hegemony takes the cake when it comes to journalism when you consider that its proxy in the middle east alone has literally bombed to death more journalists that china could ever fantasize about and the likes of julian assange, francesca albanese, or any of the 9 icc judges can attest how much impactful sanctions are than government minders.

the only fault lies with the american government and the people who believe what they say when the american government has publicly admitted themselves that they've intentional misinformed the public; this fact alone make red maga less culpable for the world's woes than the liberals.

the lesson is that you don't let people witness the strong hurting the weak. they've already enacted this lesson upon legacy media decades ago and are now applying it to social media as well; the next generation will never be able to see a live streamed genocide like genz did.

Why all the Epstein files may not come out even though Congress took action

Jump

eldavi @lemmy.ml 6h ago

people aren't exhausted enough and the litmus test for true exhaustion can be answered by asking if they'll stop voting with red or blue maga; we'll continue to keep going round-and-around this circus until that answer changes ... either that or enough people try to start pulling out the guillotines.

it's mind boggling to me that red magats bought this and blue magats didn't see it coming.

i wonder what narrative the latter group is going to use now to attack trump now that they seemingly got what they've been pushing for.

Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US: 'You are effectively blacklisted by much of the world's banking system'

Jump

eldavi @lemmy.ml 6h ago

he called on European authorities to activate a mechanism that could limit the impact of US restrictions.

Europe needs greater sovereignty, especially in digital and banking matters. That is the only way to reduce the impact of sanctions and, indirectly, protect the victims of international crimes. Today, there is no room for naivety. Without sovereignty – military, health, financial and digital – we can no longer guarantee the rule of law. Some European lawmakers have become aware of these issues. Still, this awareness must grow among national governments and the European Commission, because behind the sanctions against the ICC lies the entire question of the rule of law.

it feels like he doesn't know that the europeans are vassal states to the us empire and that even the most powerful members of the icc aligned countries are following the empire's orders instead of the icc/icj's orders.

the difference is that sources defining the tiananmen protests as a massacre are funded by the state department (both directly and undirectly) which has a long, storied and undisputed history of peddling propaganda; including my government's own public admissions of doing so.
