      if US schools were over strategic resources you'd bet they'd try though

          Yup. Damaging trust in public education is a major point of campaigns spearheaded by pro-privatization think tanks. The forums that school shooters tend to frequent also have a tremendous fucking cash flow in their crypto wallets. It’s not direct coordination, but you can see the superstructure forming a bed for these economic interests to lay in.

    This is why as bad as the cartels are, AMLO is hesitant to designate them as terrorists

      He's in a detente with them, but they've absolutely got their own agenda. Very real possibility he gets Lula'd or Allende'd out of office.

    To be fair, both ISIS and the cartels go out of their way to come up with the most cartoonishly evil execution methods. Not that the American state doesn’t either considering lethal injection and all the black site torture, but at least the mob just shot, stabbed, and garroted people without any funky town beheading nonsense

      Yeah the reality is that those cartoonishly evil execution methods were pioneered by counter-insurgents and anti-communists to spread horror on the third world, and they soon found themselves out of a job and quickly picked up by blooming criminal enterprises.

        Just like how nazis found jobs doing anti leftist counterinsurgency in Latin America, it is an old tradition of capitalism to use broken people to break more people

      Cartels are even more insane than ISIS tbh (maybe idk Isis records themseleves doing this shit) . I saw a vid where they

      spoiler

      stab a guy with a box cutter like hundred times. They skinned his face off too.

      Another one where they put alcohol on some dudes face and light it on fire while he screams. They were laughing in the background.

        Yeah, that’s kinda typical for cartel videos. They have one where they have a dog eat a dude starting with the dick.

        Like, I’ll never no matter what advocate for intervention, but cleansing the world from the cartels hurts my morals. They need to go.

    Barr deserves an in person meeting with those drug cartels for getting Iran Contra criminals in the US pardoned.

    the American mafia

    5th-generation Italian-Americans sitting around a room eating sandwiches, and occasionally murdering someone for like $10,000 tops, and occasionally murdering each other.
