Part 12/14:
Over decades, cartel propaganda has evolved from simple banners and regional music to complex digital ecosystems. The gruesome visuals, public displays of violence, and glamorized content collectively shape a culture of fear, loyalty, and aspiration. This cultural penetration makes it increasingly difficult for authorities to dismantle these narratives, especially as they are ingrained in societal norms and youth identities.
The international dimension complicates matters further. With connections spanning from Mexico to the United States, Canada, and beyond, cartel propaganda isn't confined by borders. The ease of access to online content allows recruitment and support to flourish globally, making the fight against cartel influence a complex and ongoing challenge.
