Yesterday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered her 100-day address to a PACKED Zócalo.

"We will not return to the neoliberal model. We will not return to the regime of privileges and corruption... We say: For the good of all, first the poor."

    Imagine your employer can decide to nuke your house at any moment. That might incentivize you to accept a 50% bottle cap salary.

    lol this is why the West was genuinely afraid of Mao but not anymore since China has opened up.

    Mao used to casually taunt the US to drop their atomic bombs on China and see who lasts longer. He would constantly talk about China engaging in a “10,000 years” long war (lol!) with the Western imperialists even until the end of the world.

    These days the US just crosses red lines after red lines because they know that their opponents have no appetite to truly fight back and risk a nuclear war.

      You aren't wrong, but on the other hand we haven't had a nuclear war either. That counts for something.

      Although now we're zooming to a climate catastrophe that will make Earth just as uninhabitable so lol
