    I didn’t post it thinking of deep meanings, but, once you said it:

    I watched this week a french movie of a woman who decides to go full crazy and become a “vagabond”, living on french roads by feet. It is “Sans toit ni loi”, directed by Agnès Varda and released in 1985. It is not a funny nor cute movie, the woman starts the movie dying and you get a glimpse of her last days. I found it a little boresome, but is a very provoking thought on the realms of philosophy: what do we have to give up in order of being truly free? Is it possible to be really free as a human being, specially a woman’s body? Gave me some food for thought.












  • See, when we analyze Latin America countries, one cannot think exclusively in terms of US or Europe political science. Our states may seem like weak forces when scrutinized from afar, however this is exactly the problem. Fascism has different ways of spreading through institutions and evangelical militias or drug cartels are literally everywhere. Sometimes, our states do not enforce fascism by law. They are weak on surface and extremely dangerous in their militias and affiliations with drug cartels. The contradiction is the rule around here. Mexico is not the heaven you make it sound. Do not trust a country’s safety based on official governments, it is a starter error when analyzing Latin America politics
