    Here’s a quick 5 minute VICE documentary on 1 town’s approach, they’ve been doing this for 15 years and it has not devolved into your fears.

    https://youtu.be/SrPBdLiqMb0

    If you want to know more, here’s a bit more reading about that town and how women are participating in the process.

    https://schoolsforchiapas.org/cheran-resists-women-weaving-life-in-the-face-of-patriarchal-and-extractivist-siege/

    And how they’re defending against much larger actors trying to destroy their way of life:

    https://itsgoingdown.org/armed-attack-against-the-autonomous-purepecha-community-of-cheran-keri/

    From there you can ‘do your own research’ because I highly doubt you’ll even look at those 3 basic sources without trying to come up with a reason to discredit it all in favour of the status quo.

      It’s just a different police force! Lmao there is nothing radical about this. They managed to push out an incredibly corrupt police force and replace them with a less corrupt and more accountable police force. Good for them! Seems like a great change. Guess what, they still have a police force.

      You are trying to twist this into a different conversation than the one that I’ve been having. I don’t think that you even love on the same side of the planet as me or Mexico. You’re basing your opinions of news puff pieces.
