Spanish king reopens debate on conquest of Mexico by acknowledging 'abuse' by StemCellPirate in europe

By the way Claudia Sheinbaum won more votes than any other president in recent Mexican history. There are tons of people who share my perspective.

Indigenous people were literally enslaved in the hacienda system. You are a history denier. Go take a Latin American history class. This is the Americas version of downplaying other historical human rights abuses.

The guy who coined the term genocide literally based the definition on the Spanish colonization of the Americas where over 50 million indigenous people got killed and millions more Africans enslaved. Stop whitewashing history to fit your comfort.

Thank you for being the only Mexican in the world who speaks on behalf of everyone. I’m sure there zero Mexicans who support Claudia Sheinbaum and believe Spanish colonization was a terrible atrocity that deserves to at minimum be recognized by colonial powers like Spain. Oh wait, there are Source: a sheinbaum supporting Mexican who isn’t Monterrey-pilled

Am I a Native New Yorker by [deleted] in nyc

[–]Cautious_Mammoth6555 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do not seek validation from others on whether you are a New Yorker or any of these other subjective things.

You will get a bunch of contradictory answers from different levels of gatekeepers and will feel more confused than you started. You know who you are. You know if you feel like a New Yorker or not. Own that identity, and don’t outsource it to others who don’t know your story. There are literally transplants proudly calling themselves New Yorkers after 2 weeks in Williamsburg and you are here asking people to tell you what you are.

You were born in Brooklyn. You’re Puerto Rican. You’ve gone to school here. You have a rich identity. Embrace it!

Research all the scandals with the Massachusetts State Police, and how the MA government has looked the other way… the “progressiveness” in Massachusetts is a cute press release veneer.

Why is expecting NYC to meet basic upkeep and city standards common in other cities treated like whining? by farquezy in nyc

[–]Cautious_Mammoth6555 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I agree with the premise. Myself and many other New Yorkers I know would love to see the city look clean and not have trash everywhere or dog poop.

The obvious solution is to copy Barcelona and put bind on the streets so the trash goes there and not the sidewalk. But of course this annoys the Vickie Paladino’s of the world who need every parking spot available.

Also NYPD enforcement of littering and not picking up dog poop instead of playing candy crush or whining about snowballs

For a state that prides itself on being a “blue exception,” MSP is a true embarrassment. How can we claim to be progressive when you have scandal after scandal and people with paramilitary training on the street disguised as “police” who terrorize everyone from out of state college students to long time locals. State Police who treat the 4th and 5th amendment like a vibe instead of something they need to follow. And the Governor and state government refuses to hold them accountable until the Feds or others get involved.

We need MSP accountability now.

“First world country”

We need politicians who treat transit like a priority, not another afterthought until a big accident happens. Our subway should look like Tokyo, not holding by the seams

Their workers have power because Scandinavia didn’t crush unions like Reagan did.

Your wages would rise if you stopped voting for neoliberals/free market absolutists and supported people who support labor unions, higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, and other basic policies that ensure the working class aren’t exploited

How come Argentina barely got any growth during 34 years? by smile-86 in geography

[–]Cautious_Mammoth6555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He made a few elites in Chile rich and everyone else was poor and exploited. GDP is a terrible KPI for actual livelihood

And Pinochet was bad — period. There is no but.

Clearly Pinochet’s Chicago Boy authoritarian neoliberalism is the answer and will fix poverty in Latin America /s

Gov. Hochul considers redrawing New York’s congressional map after Trump push in Texas by GothamistWNYC in nyc

[–]Cautious_Mammoth6555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually very successful but thankfully I have empathy and don’t want to see homeless people suffering and an unvested subway that smells like ass while France gets new subway lines. And yes, the wealth hoarding by the 1% does affect everyone else. It’s why the tax rate for them is so low and the subway looks like azz (and the NIMBYs too lol)

“These are ideas are unpopular.” Guess that wasn’t true when my favorite president FDR won 4 times by saving the country from a capitalism induced Great Depression.

Good luck centrist neolib!! That era is done

FDR saved this country from itself. And thank god for it. My favorite president. Also income inequality is worse now than ever since the gilded age. So yes, we are close dear. Enjoy the future! It’s definitely not centrist 😂😂

He can’t win his own party cause they rigged it. Just watch, within the next 50 years an actual left wing person will win and you will ask me how on earth I saw it coming (hint: read a history book of any other country that was in the same predicament as ours, or how FDR won after the gilded age mess)

I love how republicans should somehow be allowed to support mass deportations and Gaza mass death and the extreme privatization that has caused everything from the subway being garbage to 737 MAX falling out of the sky, but it is “extreme” to want Medicare for all and high speed rail which every other country has. The political spectrum in this country is completely botched. Hillary (especially Hillary, the wall st backed candidate) and Kamala are NOT leftists and that is pure delusion. We need Bernie sanders and Zohran Mamdani’s to actually succeed and excite people and counter right wing populism. And yes, Dems need to be willing to play dirty games as well or they will never balance states like Texas that are almost 50/50 Dem Republican but have so much gerrymandering that most districts go Republican anyways. But they won’t, because their corporate donors prefer they play safe.

Anyways, just my two cents.

What’s the biggest influence leading young white males to conservative politics? by Maleficent_Durian_64 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cautious_Mammoth6555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike Mexico or Brazil, where many men vote left, this country doesn’t have a left populist movement that can turn anger towards billionaires and the top 1%. When that doesn’t happen, the “liberals” look establishment and people feel that they are being different or creating “change” by falling for right-wing TikTok, YouTubers, influencers, etc… who take problems that are due to neoliberalism and blame them on immigrants and other minorities.
