In this edition of GrinGo, host Rubén and guests Leopoldo Mendíbil and Cristian Nader examine the influence of US culture and media on Latin America, particularly Mexico, and explore how violence is normalized and even glamorized in popular culture.
They discuss mass shootings, gun culture, racial divisions, and the historical roots of American power, from Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine to the CIA's covert operations and controversial claims about false-flag attacks. The conversation also explores capitalism, social inequality, and the impact of US political and cultural influence around the world, raising questions about the relationship between violence, propaganda, and power.
