ap3··on Venezuela's Inflation to Reach 1M Percent
Mexico’s historical foreign policy has been based on the principles of non-intervention, peaceful resolution of disputes and self-determination of all nations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrada_Doctrine

As President Juárez said:"Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace"

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Benito_Juárez

Mexico’s new president AMLO thinks Juárez was the country’s best president, so I doubt we’ll see policy change in this admin.

In the past he has publicly refused to say that Castro or Chavez were dictators - doing so would interfere in Cuba or Venezuela’s right of self-determination.

BTW, his political opponents claim he will turn México into Venezuela.

Edit:spelling

Whataboutism aside, a big difference is EIC or Churchill did not try to depopulate Bengal or target it’s native population.

In Germany, the Jewish population was blamed for the countries problems and their extermination was a stated objective of the government’s policy. Concentration camps, gas chambers - they even extended this to other countries: Belgium, France, Poland, Russia

ap3··on Banning Netflix, Amazon from Festivals and Awards Is Wrong
>If Cannes gives out an award, you can't go see it in an independent cinema, you can't buy it on disc, you must subscribe to Netflix or Amazon.

Instead of paying the $10 ticket isn’t it the same to pay the $10 monthly subscription?

ap3··on How Duolingo achieved a 50:50 gender ratio for new software engineer hires
