    Love too see icons of revolution being coopted by forces of reaction because they aren’t explicit in their call for revolution but instead represent an ill-defined concept of rebellion and liberation

      one of the things about mexican cooptation of progressiveness is how well they pretend to be politically neutral unlike the hyper red vs blue teams competition in the united states and i’m convinced that the republicans adapted some of this to get the votes of people who agree that the system is broken, but don’t understand that both red & blue teams are the reason why its broken in the first place.

  • God damn the CIA and us government was so good at color revolutions and shit and now under trump with all these failenials and podcasters going in to replace all the babyboomers who died it’s showing these new trump guys just fucking suck at what the old CIA guys were good at.

    The CIA used to be my goat and now they’re washed. They were so good at spreading fascism and sending Nazis and arming Nazis in eastern Europe, and placing dictators and doing color revolutions they did like every year from 1950-1991.

    Then the ussr collapses and the last decent attempt they had was invading iraq and Afghanistan with Cheney but now!

    Completely washed. Maga doesn’t even believe this shit

    What the fuck are the dots on the hat of the jolly roger? It’s bad enough they appropriate on piece for this, but at least get the logo right

      So instead of a straw hat it’s a helmet with a brim? Not only have the coopted a modern day epic about revolutionary liberation and tearing down oppression, but they can’t even get the symbolism correct. It’s truly sad. I see some people being excited about this as a wave of revolutions, but i haven’t been able to dig in enough to understand how many of these are just attempts at colour revolution.

    PRD barely even exists anymore. They say they are against PAN but fucking Vicente Fox was part of this protests lmao. There were genuinely protests in PAN controlled states/provinces but the western media didn’t say anything about it bc why would they.

    The right is heavily trying to co-opt the straw hats jolly roger as the symbol for color revolutions, buncha fuckers. Here in Brazil, an alt right piece of shit from MBL (Free Brasil Movement) called Kim Kataguiri just posted a picture with their newly funded or soon to be newly funded alt right party called Missão (Mission) where their logo is fused with the straw hats jolly roger, fucking hell.

    Just look at this shit
