Democracy dies during regularly scheduled maintenance outages.
I think you just discovered the plot for The Fast and the Furious 10.
BRB, hiring a coyote to smuggle a cool Chinese EV over the border to avoid tariffs.
Wonder why Americans keep getting away with it…

Literally the opening scene of Team America: World Police, but without any irony or awareness.
Fapple 2024.
Here’s a good one:
Siento que Reddit es una de las peores maneras de experimentar la realidad latinoamericana. La GRAN mayoría de gente acá tienen entre 15 y 20 años, no han ido a la universidad, son mantenidos por sus papas y son extremadamente conservadores. Cada opinión que tienen siempre encuentra un echo chamber terrible. La gente en r/peru estaba celebrando cuando mataron a un centenar de peruanos en las protestas por el nuevo gobierno y la gente en r/argentina genuinamente piensa que Miles es el más querido e intelectual presidente de la era republicana. Estos subs son genuinamente extraños si los comparamos con el resto del mundo.

I feel like Reddit is one of the worst ways to experience Latin American reality. The VAST majority of people here are between 15 and 20 years old, have not gone to university, are supported by their parents and are extremely conservative. Every opinion they have always finds a terrible echo chamber. People on r/peru were celebrating when a hundred Peruvians were killed in protests over the new government and people on r/argentina genuinely think that Miles is the most beloved and intellectual president of the Republican era. These subs are genuinely strange compared to the rest of the world.

The French? On your continent? It’s more likely than you think.
Yes. And The Economist made the Xi Button emote for us:
“Never thought I’d fight side by side with a Tory shitbag.”
“What about side by side with a morally righteous bandwagon jumper who can no longer continue justifying genocide?”
“Aye, I could do that… For now…”
Kind of a random question, but do you have any good resources on Lázaro Cárdenas? Looking to learn more about his life and how he nationalized Mexican oil, but then lost control over the PRI. I listened to a talk by his son, but he skipped over 1940-1980 and the entire neoliberal turn of the PRI.
(CW disturbing violence perpetrated by Israel)
Mehdi Hasan is right though, the images/videos of what Israel is doing to Rafah right now are some of the worst, most gruesome, terrifying things I’ve ever seen in my life. This is like if the My Lai massacre was live-streamed. And the amazing thing is that I have seen no mainstream reporting about these literal, clear pictures of dead babies and civilians burned alive.
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
