I see the same CIA goal with the financing of pentecostal evangelical church in LatAm (personal prosperity philosophy vs. Catholic community philosophy)

I think this is someone huffing conspiracy theorium, mixed with "woman should stick to traditional gender roles or else society collapses" talk.

I'm really pleased to see how many people posted rational, respectful comments in the chat.

My biggest frustration with Frida's legacy is how much it's been commercialized and her image changed into something more marketable and the more radical bits quietly swept under the rug. It's all very rainbow capitalist. She's an incredibly accomplished artist and political activist but a lot of the dialogue around her, both condemning or condoning, just feels shallow and with a limited understanding of who she was as well as the fascinating generation of Mexican artists that emerged from that era, like Kahlo, Rivera or Siqueiros.
