Continue to spend your money in Mexico and don't feel guilty about doing it. Anyone south of the border understands that governments very often don't reflect the nature of the people they claim to represent. It is nothing new to them. they will understand your anger and frustration.
Brilliantly captured the emotional dissonance of knowing you're complicit while still wanting to do better. The observation about meeting protestors not to change politicians but to weave relationships with generous people - thats what actual activism looks like inpractice. I had a similar moment at an airport when someone glanced away instead of engaging, that silence speaks volumes about where we are.
Thank you for this, Leo.
