Didn't Bill Clinton's government conspire with a Colombian death squad called Los Pepes to kill Pablo Escobar, as seen on the Netflix Original Series, "Narcos"?


e: an extreme right wing death squad, like real actual white supremacists who murder whole villages full of people for political reasons.

That show's not especially historical FYI and there isn't much evidence of collusion between the US and Los Pepes. The US delta force contingent assisting the hunt of Escobar wasn't going out of their way to stop them on the other hand.

i make the mistake of replying to some neo liberal friends on facebook about this occasionally, and i am not kidding when i say basically everyone ever who goes to or taught at a college refuses to spend even a minute a week reading about gary johnson or jill stein, hell they do not even actually talk about hillary's voting record

it's an entire generation of leftists with no connection to the left but an extremely emotional connection to what the media and the campuses define as neoliberal ideas, i would bet of the last 10 times i replied to this poo poo this year, rather than say i lied, or cite a single source, the reply is WELL WHAT ARE YOU THEN, A TRUMP SUPPORTER? and i say 'no' and they go STILL IT'S YOUR FAULT IF HE WINS

what do you call a society where the only way you're approved to contribute to the political process is to....not talk about actual crimes and actual voted in policies by the wife of the president who may become president?

edit

i should explain, they define it as liberalism when i and most sane people who are familiar with history would clearly have to call it neoliberalism or what the right calls 'the regressive left'. i can't use cute titles for it or once again, i have just elected trump i'm sure

lol

Today I got into an altercation with a guy wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. I went up and asked him if he would take the hat off, explaining a university should be a safe space. It was impossible to communicate to him why wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry and exclusion of diversity (sexual and cultural) could make some people afraid. People came out of the woodwork around us to support the hat, and after insulting me, they began filming my "crazy" behaviour at asking him to not wear the hat on campus. The video was posted and I made the mistake of reading the comments. I am so deeply saddened... I don't want to draw anymore attention to the dysfunctional pawns that are being used by a system of power to oppress others. I do want to state that I stand by my belief that every space, but especially university spaces, should be made to make everyone feel SAFE. We need to seriously change our culture. We need to equally support and express movements and gestures of inclusive acceptance. I walked outside after the altercation, which ended up involving security and more concern for someone's "private property" then about anti-oppression and overt racism, feeling totally hopeless. Only to find the anti-abortion group posing with their graphic images and slogans of "sin". But... Beside them was a group of courageous and beautiful humans, holding signs of "we support your choice" and kindly warning oncoming students about the graphic images so they could be avoided. (Thank you Aalayna Spence, Nathan Lawley and crew.) It makes me cry that there will always be battles of "right" and "wrong"... There will always be opposing parties... Unfortunately for many people life does not exist without fear of oppression, violence or attack. But there are some warriors, who are not too tired. Some humans who want anyone being attacked (be it blatant or subtle) to know they are equally being a supported. I'm ready to make some noise YYC. I'm ready for some LOUD AF language of LOVE. That is the only thing that might have a chance of helping the world. So be a warrior and express your support for those who are attacked everyday because of who they are.
