• and for the next several generations to come.

their reasoning doesn’t sit well with me for 2 reasons:

1. supporting the UN recognized regime of a country means that the united states can continue regime changing countries and now china will recognize that new puppet government.

2. the UN used to recognize taiwan as the official government of china and now china is perpetuating the same thing that the world perpetrated on them; making them complicit with the other colonial powers.

don’t forget about the christian gold and uranium in the neighboring sahel countries that left france’s clutches recently.

“They want to stop the war and want Ukraine to pay the price,” one of the sources said.

i want to say that this should be a lesson to anyone that wants to join nato or get closer to the west, but watching the recent color revolutions in nepal and mexico makes it clear that no one is paying attention to learn this lesson.

I just hope one of the Mexicans thought to ask them if they remember the Alamo.

it’s a mostly bitterness derived stereotype, but it has elements of humor to it like your comment: mexican’s dgaf what happened to their mexican-american cousins.

Politics influences every single aspect of everyone’s life and is the core reason why Windows is so dominant on the desktop despite there being a significantly better alternatives w Linux.

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.

Microsoft have long-demonstrated they could reach out the computer monitor and slap every user around a bit with a large trout, and still keep 95% of their user base.

so too can the democrats w their base. lol

now that we have both robotics and ai; the first person the build, patent, and produce this robot is going to be the next billionaire. lol

i guess so. lol

i could take guesses, but it’s better that you ask them yourself and you can do so through the link i shared.

entrenchment of the working class to support the capitalist class, against their own working class interests. They keep selling us the pipe dream but the few rewarding hits keep us coming back for more.

i think that the scope of the entrenchment is bigger than the working class and its exemplified by how even rational and/or rich people believe in it.

it’s one of those things were everyone knows is wrong; but we go along with it anyways because that’s “how the system works”

Ukraine was not “like Iraq or Afghanistan”. Ukrainians were “civilised”, they were “European”, they “watch Netflix and have Instagram”, they looked like “us”.

There we had it. It was out in the open. This was how western journalists, whether they would admit it or not, viewed the world. That racism, often hidden, informed which stories got covered and which ones got ignored.

a majority of my family members are white passing and they used to share with me the racists things people would say to them when they assumed that they were white like them and the most troubling things that they shared were how commonly those beliefs were shared.

i remember it from time to time and more show now that they’ve gone into the maga fold themselves.

but the ceo’s will get off scott free and leave their underlings to be hanged. lol

worse than weapons of mass distraction. lol

i wonder which well respected public figure they’re going to get to publicly compromise his morals for this time, like this guy last time.

i’ve used liberapay to support lemmy and now that i know it can do this, i’m going to see if it can do the other project work i also use heavily; thanks for making me aware.

telesur, soberania, & la jornada can help with the latter part and they do it in english too
