My friends...I weep for my country https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/01/world/americas/mexico-election-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador.html

I am deeply scared for my family in Mexico. 😰

Can I write in spanish? It's more fast for me

"filling millions of mexicans with hope"

nice

@Darth_Australis - I don't speak perfect spanish but I can translate what I dont know

who's this guy btw?

never heard of him

@Reimov and millions more with terror and dread
He's bee running for a few years or so. He's a Proto-Marxist. Imagine the Ron Paul of the Left in Mexico and add a healthy dose of deceit, incompetence and replace Libertarianism with socialism

*Rough explanation

Now that's just F'ed up

why is NYT making it sound like his winning is a good ting

Oh I see, I'll try to put it in english: I'm starting to think that López Obrador will be the breaking point for México, that already is a country absolutly raped by narcos

thing*

Because it's a candidate that it's not in the two traditional partys: PRI and PAN

Parties*

Of course they make it sound wonderful. The Left in America loves it \

@Darth_Australis I believe so too...but it's heartbreaking for me to see this.

You know? I was thinking, maybe Trump and AMLO will work good, the both of them are populists

We can hope

Trump is the only President so far not to kiss up and prop up the corrupt nacro-controlled governments

@Charles V maybe it's the one that will make México awake

We can only pray

And I don't know if AMLO have connections with narcos, so far it's the more clean

Thats good at least

Perhaps this is God's finger

If Mexico can be saved, the rest of the Americas could follow. It would be decades, a century even, but it is possible.

Exactly, maybe he will be the breaking point

I managed to get away with saying that gay marriage leads to pedophilia and bestiality in my RE lesson today

And managed to answer the objection of "why don't Christians eat shellfish if the Bible says it's bad"

Very nice

how did you manage that?

I raised the question of how far would we take "love is love", and when the teacher cited that that only applies to adults I said that the age of consent is only 16 (in UK at least)

So your teacher was basically saying that children do not love

Ouch.

I have an entirely new perspective on my childhood now.

It was quite funny tbh

how are you my niggas

Doing fine.

In Leipzig
