Presented as a spontaneous youth-led uprising against corruption, violent protests that erupted across Mexico this month were backed by local oligarchs and an international right-wing network determined to topple the popular President Claudia Sheinbaum.

How do you do, fellow gen-zers?

    I did, and I see a lot more agreement with me, and the person you initially responded to, by upvotes and comments.

      Of course there are legitimate problems and real tensions. When the US wants regime change, it never starts from scratch. It always leverages whatever fissures already exist.

      Moving the conversation to what the US wants and keeping it there is rather dismissive. What the US wants is irrelevant. There are real issues that have nothing with what the CIA may or may not want. Simply saying that the CIA is a destabilizing force is a way to dismiss constructive criticism of what Mexicans want out of their representatives.

        Yes, what the USA and CIA want is irrelevant. Sheinbaum approval rating is nearing 80%. What Mexicans want out of their representatives is clear, and USA/CIA need to stay out for once.
