Taco Bell and Chipotle urgently need to band together and establish and deploy mercenary troops as a paramilitary force on the ground immediately to secure the mainline tortilla supply otherwise we may see social instability and a potential uprising from the deathfat class of America.

History bros will know we've been in this situation before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Wars

President Trump should mobilize military assets to protect taco stockpiles across the US in preparation for the impending food security instability that we all know is coming from this.

Nothing really happens here. If we are failing to ever buy American, that is on the fault of whomever is making the purchase: the consumer.

It cannot be understated how little this can affect the United States if we insulate ourselves from this. Once we re-establish our manufacturing and farming here, it unironically does not affect us. The border should be dead sealed anyway. Let them find refuge in the Amazon Rainforest.
 
It honestly pisses me off to no end how much we've enabled the current government to prop itself up and torment its people for the sake of cheap brown labor to make our elites feel better about themselves.

I've done mission work in Oaxaca. In high school I got paid under the table in the summers doing landscaping work, aka I worked almost exclusively with illegal laborers. I've heard firsthand how ineffectual the Mexican government is at reigning in gang violence, how they are just as much at war with the citizenry as they are with the cartels, if not moreso. Normal citizens won't fight back. A lot of young men in rural Mexico, their choices boil down to either joining the cartels, doing all sorts of sick shit to keep the drug trade going, just to be able to put their loved ones in a hovel somewhere in the larger, safer cities, or jump the border, work illegally for pesos on the dollar, and put the family (that you now can't see) in the same hovel, but at least it's semi-honest work and you aren't putting a target on their backs via your affiliation. Assuming the coyote who got you across the border doesn't keep in touch. Assuming he never finds out who you are.

Mexico is a country that has a rich heritage, abundant natural resources, good harbors on both oceans, and has no business being a poor, violent shithole serving as the ass-end of the Latin drug trade to wealthy North American markets. It took decades of collaboration between both their government and ours, to the mutual benefit of the elites who run both countries and to the detriment of both populaces. Mexico should be the most powerful Spanish-speaking country on the planet. Lord knows she tries. She should be the queen of Latin America. Brazil? Argentina? They wish they had the kind of advantages Mexico started with.
I sincerely hope this is just the beginning, that Sheinbaum and the entire government she sits atop of falls to pieces and a real republic emerges from the ashes. I hope to God the United States can minimize its involvement beyond occasional humanitarian relief. Mexico has to sort its shit out, it's long overdue. And as much as I hope they do, successfully, a) I don't want my countrymen to die helping them along, and b) we, uh, don't exactly have the best record of picking who should govern Mexico after a revolution occurs anyways.
 
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum officially denounces today's Gen Z protests outside Mexico City's National Palace. (Palacio Nacional)"One should never use violence to bring about change". x

Pretty sure we grow enough corn in the States to supply deathfats with all the tacos, tortilla chips, and HFCS soda they could want.

Now the avocado toast crowd might have a problem on their hands.

I regret that I also recognized it. Apparently it's now a "universal flag of resistance for Gen Z".

The gayest generation of all.

I'd rather have bullet holes on a flag as a resistance flag. Might be a tad extreme, but it gets the message across pretty quickly. As for involvement, only humanitarian aid, nothing else.
 
So what are the chances that China intervenes and provides military forces and/or equipment for the Government to Tienanmen Square the protestors? Chinese car brands like BYD have opened up dealerships in places like Mexico, as a way to get Chinese EVs closer and closer to the US.
 
It's been like a few hours and I've only seen 3 videos of riot cops being beat. This is bullshit my disappointment is immeasurable:(

I don't think One piece has anything to do with it, it just happens to be the most popular fiction with young people today. As far as i'm aware there's nothing overtly political that'd get people to take arms against their gov. Edit: spelling

The main characters of One Piece are enemies of the "World Government" and authority figures in general. There's also arcs about racism, etc. It's more overtly political than most shounen manga, that's for sure.

To be clear: The flag is being used because it's a meme and easily understandable symbol, I don't think many people are being radicalized by One Piece.
 
Do we have any Mexican Kiwis that can tell us more?
I'm just noticing that these are not the LA protests, which for all there bluster no one was actually fighting that seriously.
These protests seem much different as in they are specifically fighting the cops. I'm waiting to see if these guys get weapons as I think they will use them then.
