ogeist@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Mexico bans ‘foreign propaganda’ after US anti-migrant adEnglish1·3 months agoThe Visit Mexico ads are definitely propaganda, the word itself is a synonym of advertisement, but bening propaganda and displays a good relationship between Mexico and the United States, that is why you don’t hear backlash from it. Like I mentioned before the anti-migration message could have been agreed with the Mexican government.
You are framing your position on the fact that the mexican government position is incendiary or pissy, but the same can be said from the US ads, which are unprofessional, unprompted and unexpected, making them incendiary and pissy. Thus making them toxic propaganda.

One of the definitions of propaganda is “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.”
In this situation is “information used to promote a political cause”, the cause being anti-migration. You may say it is only for the “illegals” but currently in the US anything appears to be illegal (see the case of the german backpackers).
The expectation is for governments to work together for such spots, the fact that the US bypassed the Mexican government and contacted directly the mexican media companies is a huge red flag. It was not any American person, it was the US government.

Games focused on gameplay rather than aesthetics and better optimization for games.

There is nothing to fear, yes I had issues some time ago when I had the GTX 1080 but not any more. I’m even using Hyprland. Give it a try on another with another disk.

The governments decide what to do, the WHO provides guidelines and recommendations. Germany provided the injections quite late, Mexico went for the Chinese and Russian which were rushed…
The expectation that doctors have magic powers and can cure every illness is stupid. Most treatments are just your body doing it’s thing while you support from the sidelines and the doctor is telling you what to scream. Even the Covid vaccine is teaching your system to fight it…
Let me guess… pizza!
