  • As I said before: this is the way. I’m glad they finally seem to understand it. The other day someone published that Sanders went somewhere and told a lot of working class people that Trump is messing with them. I’m sure they don’t need an octogenarian politician, a US Senator, to tell them they are being fucked by whom. Sanders and AOC need to build a discourse that goes beyond that. They need to go there and tell the people how to get out of this. They need a plan, they need to share it and let the people be a part of it.

    Yeah, I was thinking about Symbian too. The basic functionality of an Android phone today, Symbian already had with the limitations of its time. In 2003, you could use your Symbian to share internet to a PC, navigate maps, edit documents, take pictures, edit pictures, browse the web, etc. There was a good amount of third party apps too, including browsers like Opera and games like Chessmaster. And this was a shitty OS for this, Maemo was way better, but it came later.








  • Not gonna engage with the other person who replied to you, but I hope you get your own conclusions about disappeared people in Mexico. A similar argument was made during the first years of President Lopez Obrador mandate about homicides. The right-wing regime before Lopez left a horrifying situation in that regard with homicides rising, Lopez could stop the trend and stabilize the absolute amount of homicides per year during the first half of his period. Of course, the “argument” from the opposition to his government was that “the most violent years in Mexico’s history” occurred during his mandate and they also like to brag about it being the most violent period in history, which is technically true.

    Lopez did change the trend in his last three years of government. Sheinbaum, also a leftist, continues getting better and better numbers in homicides in general in her first months as president. There are cities where things are not fine or not even getting better, of course, because it’s not a uniform trend.

    The opposition is now shifting to disappeared people, as it is loosing the discussion about homicides. Disappeared people is an issue in Mexico too, but it’s even more complicated as the right-wing government before Lopez was one of the main perpetrators of this crime. A long, atrocious chapter of disappeared people is called here the Dirty War. In this period (for the Spanish version of the Wikipedia it’s 1964-2000), the right-wing government would prosecute, kidnap, assassinate and disappear political dissidents. Currently, disappearance of people is related mostly to organized crime, which, of course needs to be addressed.
