Lupita: the indigenous activist leading a new generation of Mexican women

[@kourtneyloves6765]

I respect this woman deeply. One cannot deny the absolute resilience this woman exudes after experiencing tragedy such as that. Regardless of whether you support her cause or not, she is strong in a way that many people are never able to muster.

[@thenostalchica]

Thank you for sharing their story. For the people who gave this video a thumbs down, I hope you find peace and compassion one day.

[@mjw12345]

Yeah! It's troubling but I think meaningless - you'll see thumbs down for the loveliest musical performances. There is a resident population of unhinged, deranged on this planet. Still, I need to add a slight caveat - AMLOs imbecility on COVID has been stratospheric - fortunately mayors, state governors...have somehow mitigated somewhat the scale of the catastrophe. So, I suspect the thumbs down are chiefly Mexican - my friends pro-AMLO (I still remain but he has been an utter Bolsinaro, Trump-scale imbecile on COVID) but they totally despise anything, any criticism I direct at AMLO.

She’s what is necessary in this world.

Las Zapatistas have been one of a number of indigenous communities on this continent doing vital work at the intersection of anti-militarism, indigenous sovereignty, anti-capitalism, earth stewardship, anti-violence and feminism (like the anti-DAPL organisers & the Water Protectors movement). 🤔 Hey Guardian, how about showing (at least like a 30 second) history of las luchas (fights/struggles) of groups like Zapatistas instead of just depicting one singular (albeit powerful) organizer? This is how media deifies and disempowers popular movements.

Importantly, the documentary's director asked permission from the autonomous council of Acteal who allowed it on the condition that the people in the community were involved in as much of the documentary's production as possible.

[@gatogordo2197]

Colonialism is still alive. But we can't blame Spain anymore because it's us the mestizos who are doing it now.

[@theovanrossum8652]

Well, nobody is blaming Spain anymore anyway. In fact a delegation of Zapatistas has recently paid a visit to their supporters in Spain.

Yeah we can tf? we can blame Spain, mestizos and white people in power who allow this and created the dangerous systems(by enslaving communities) we are forced to live under now. We can blame everyone who had a part in it.
