Mexico's cartels are basically CIA proxies and have been for a long time. They coordinated very closely with the DFS and their various rebrands which were in turn a way for the CIA to operate without having to use their own agents. They did the shady shit they didn't even want Mexican feds to do, and that's a scary fucking bar.

The cartels have a lot of money and a lot of power on the ground, but it's suspicious as hell that they keep on the cutting edge of CIA insurgency tactics, supply chains, drone warfare, hacking and even psyops to this day. They also conveniently strike exactly where and when the US government would like, as in the case of the new Culiacanazo around the national elections.

In Latin America, these organizations are very, very reactionary, and the US continually plays a role in keeping them that way. Within the US, I really don't know, but it's very telling that there's rarely any prosecution of traffickers in the way Latin America continually has to do. Yet the flow of drugs remains the same, and they keep getting sold in US streets and the money laundered in US banks.

Are we really supposed to believe that US corporations are in control of every market in the world but the richest and most powerful criminal organizations and their leadership are all abroad? CIA most likely advises against disruption because the biggest US gangs are in their pocket too.

Lmao, the fucking irony.

Meduza is a gringo propaganda rag.

Whenever anyone to the left of Killary gets within sniffing distance all the "progressive" media ghouls sharpen their knives.

Some are smarter than that, like John Oliver who has covered UK politics and elections a bunch of times but has mentioned Corbyn maybe twice and both of them for a quick joke.

And even less of a desire to look for one

There's no need to talk in woe-is-me riddles. I don't see what the hell that has to do with the question apart from being a guilt tripping deflection.

Is this the year Iran mounts a surprise comeback against Japan for the "Fell For It Again" Award?

There are no Words

They're agreeing with your point

See, this is what I'm talking about. Your life isn't worth more than that of many, many foreigners. It's one thing to be like "I didn't know any better and I regret it" and quite another to put on the whole Chris Kyle self martyrdom piece.

Unless I'm mistaken, there's still other ways to feed and house yourself that don't involve signing up for the wall street Wehrmacht. Like, I imagine living inside the empire it's normalized as hell but I don't think there's any excuse not to know nowadays.

Statesians having a choice of aiding the big murder machine or having an uphill battle to live in dignity is pretty shitty, but I think that animosity should be directed to the government and not people who think it's still pretty ghoulish to act like there wasn't even a choice. People used to go to jail for dodging the draft and some of y'all act like soldiers are all enlisted at gunpoin bc they offer you college and insurance.

Idk chief I think if I needed those things I'd organize my community to demand them first and not go into the "will I kill a bunch of innocent foreigners" lottery.

Sometimes I say "libs think imperialism is when any country does anything outside of their border except for western ones" and think I'm being ridiculously hyperbolic but god damn if there ain't a lot of y'all who do think like that
