On this day in 1969, the Cordobazo Uprising began in the city of Córdoba, Argentina as a general strike, with workers seizing the city, burning the corporate headquarters of Citroën and Xerox, and clashing with the army.
The rebellion took place under the military dictatorship of General Juan Carlos Onganía, who had seized power in a coup in 1966. Onganía’s government had suspended the right to strike, froze workers’ wages, suppressed communist movements, and extended the age of retirement.
In the wake of widespread violent state repression against protesters, the labor union “CGT de los Argentinos”, led by Agustín Tosco, called for national strike on May 30th, 1969. In Cordoba, the general strike and protests began one day earlier.
On the first day of the protests, police opened fire on thousands of protesters, killing a worker named Maximo Mena, causing the strike to escalate into a citywide revolt, leading to widespread destruction of property and seizing of city spaces. Onganía crushed the rebellion with the military, and Agustín Tosco was arrested for his role in the rebellion.

Theory:
“I hate power of friendship” mfers when Ethan Hunt does the impossible.
John wick: ends up being purposeless after getting his revenge. Bond: ends up being a self desctructive asshole. Ethan hunt: fights for his friends.
Guwss who ended up saving the day most?
Did they not mention that the world was in danger because of him anyway? I’m not a MIhead.

One of my biggest gripes was that the climax and resolution did nothing to change the characters. The only reason the bad guy lost isn’t because he’s wrong, just that he’s not as action-star as Ethan. No consequences for the collapsed lung, the nuclear bomb, or keeping the AI alive. I texted people the day after “Pop quiz: what was Luther’s speech about?!” Because that seems to try and do an Olympic lift of carrying all the emotional discourse of the series.
All that to say that I guess the whole point of the movie was the power of friendship. Every question of ethics, relationship to power, being responsible for the lives of others, saving the world is answered by trusting your friends. Which honestly resonates with the goofiness of the rest of the movie. Not bad, Tom Cruise
The moral of mission impossible besides friendship is that Tom Cruise is Xenu chosen/sciencetology jesu. Ethan hunt is literally the manifestation of destiny
