tbf, Latinos were always on that list, and for a long while too... To prove this, they invented the term "America's Backyard".

What are "slightly right of left leaning" opinions that got you or someone you know censored?

and even if it was the same woman, it's such an unimportant detail to get all pearl-clutchy over... Wait a second.. Hold on... I'm getting new reports of something equally as suspicious... That mysterious guy that was and still is present in almost every meeting that Donald Trump was in turned out to be.... some guy named "JD Vance" 😱

it's vindicating to know that there are white people that can't distinguish white people from white people...

I'm pretty much in a similar situation with a few changes to details here and there, would definitely love to learn how to help my sibling too. Sadly I learned that you can't just throw facts at them in the hopes that it would neutralize their reactionary fervor..

Is he a reader by any chance?

oh woops, thanks for pointing that out. I guess I don't have a great resource on Indonesia either other than The Jakarta Method, so I'll just add that.

It's either reductionist "Blame the government, not the people!" or holist "The world is at fault" with you people, you just can't bring yourself to call out Western exploitation of the Global South.

There are at least 3 settler-colonies in the last panel that, in the past and as we speak, actively commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, destabilization of Global South states and other crimes, which were created and continuously enabled by the remaining featured countries, 4 of which were former empires that continue their legacy through neocolonialism. The rest, whom benefit greatly from said neocolonialism or are direct perpetrators themselves, are comprador states practicing systemic violence and repression on those that so much as sympathize with Dewesternization and anti-imperialism, states that harbor a shit ton of Nazis and states that are happy to murder immigrants and asylum seekers escaping the violence perpetrated by said states.

In order of apperance:

EDIT: I confused Indonesia for Monaco, lmao.
