Criticising a 'white' Mexican chef for 'gentrifying' by selling traditional Mexican ingredients to elites at inflated prices is, I think, misguided. It centres individuals and ethnicity in a story that's really about markets, class and deep Mexican history

You asked, so... it's entirely different because of the whole history of both the US and Mexico, + the fact that the US hasn't walled off Tijuana, controlling its airspace, water and electricity supplies, while also occupying and enforcing apartheid over the state of Coahuila.

Your arguments might make sense if seen from a strictly European perspective - but give me one reason why the Palestinians displaced from their homes to make way for an Israeli ethno-state wouldn't see that as anything but classic settler-colonialism in action?

impossible to seperate Mexican drug production and trafficking from local societies and economies, and elements of state insts at local, regional and federal level, since 1940s. So talk of 'narco penetration' of any of the above is bullshit. 'Lo narco' is part of nation's fabric

In this post, Israeli soldiers in Gaza are publicly proclaiming that what they are doing is taking over Gaza, *permanently*, to make it 'their' land. That's not self-defence, and it's certainly not 'for the benefit of the locals.' Its annexation and ethnic-cleansing.

People eat mole all the time, at taco stands, in markets, cafes - the category of 'mole' (it's not, as the author implies, a single dish) isn't limited to Indigenous villages. Couldn't eating it at a posh restaurant - with no fork, just a tortilla - also be 'meaningful'?

Perdón pero hablar de los pueblos originarios de México como fueran una masa monolítica que comparte todas las mismas costumbres, problemas y maneras de ser, no ayuda a nadie. Es como hablar de la contaminación en la CDMX o las balaceras culichis como 'costumbre de los mestizos'
La venta de niñas sí es una costumbre en los pueblos indígenas de México, por mucho que les incomode fanáticos presidenciales. A las niñas y mujeres se les cambia por dinero, ganado y/o propiedades, no tienen ni voz ni libertad (1/2).

#huicholes

Habitante de
#Apatzingan
quejando de los abusos de militares, policías y narcotraficantes... exactamente como hoy pero de febrero de *1976*

'la captura del estado' por orgs criminales no existe - lo que pasa es que algunos políticos y funcionarios siempre se han metido en negocios criminales, mientras 'criminales' se han metido en la política. si alguien lo duda, que venga al AGN conmigo

#ProyectoAmapola
Los indígenas que cultivan amapola no son sólo víctimas pasivas de la “guerra contra las drogas”, también pueden negociar con el Estado y los grupos criminales para defenderse de las amenazas
