The 98th anniversary of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution is today. Speaking about the event, perredista Pablo Gómez said that it wouldn't be possible today because of television because, "all of the [tv] broadcasters would have attacked, 24 hours a day, those that rose up in arms and achieved the defeat of the federal Mexican army."
Beyond the facile comparison between modern Mexico and that of Porfirio Diaz, the anti-modernism, the celebration of violent revolution per se, and the faux provocativeness, that's a really insightful comment.
