I work with some Venezuelan immigrants, they’re all unanimous that things back home are even worse now since the US invasion.
That’s really insane, given how people I know left Venezuela because of a lack of food
Now they have the freedom of no security, resources, or food.
I think that is the common understanding. The reason it’s not bandied about publicly is the amazing power of the billionaire owned media. We need to change those rules about media ownership before everything merges into one big ball of goo.
We need to change the rules about billionaires.
I still think the tee shirt that you get at 1 billion of “congrats you won capitalism” and then get to earn no more money ever - is the best idea.
What the U.S. Is Really Doing in South America/the Middle East/South East Asia: Suppressing democracy and extracting resources at the expense of its people
There, that is more accurate I think.
what every empire throughout history has done
Fellow U.S. citizens…we are the bad guys.
Most of us don’t want to be the bad guys.
I don’t think we get to choose that.
Look at Russians.
All your presisents are war criminals
Jimmy Carter was alright. The rest were awful.
He was an alright war criminal, he still was ok with sending weapons and aid to Israel, he allowed coups to happen, he gave aid to the junta of el Salvador who murdered ton of people
All shitty things, but none of them a war crime.
An accomplice is a criminal too. Someone giving weapons to war criminals are themselves was criminals
Most of you didn’t care enough to vote at all.
66% attendance being a record high is so disappointing.
not like maduro wanst doing the same thing before, plus the current regime hasnt change, just more aligned to trump.
Yeah, but you make sure not to shit where you sleep
Great, the Americans have re-invented colonialism again!
Soooooooo, the same thing the US has done all over the planet for decades. Still shitty after all these years.
Whatever is going on we can be sure broadcast media is hiding it.
So the same thing it’s doing to its own people, too.
rerun of Chile
I remember a fool here supporting the kidnapping, he is nowhere to be found right now
Yep. Locked that puppet state into a price of $65 per barrel while market price is nearly $100 and will only go up.
This is what they always have done after WW2
US gonna US.
Nothong to see here, USA is doing USA thing.
Dismissing it because it is normal is the wrong reaction. Our sense of rage at injustice needs to accumulate into meaningful action in order for anything to improve.
What I think they’re getting at is that this is and always has been what the US does, but they are usually very insistent that it’s ‘DELIVERING FREEDOM’ or some other spiel.
Growing up is realising the bluff and then getting mad at how long we’ve been tricked.
Disillusionment is real. Personally been a pretty pretty depressing journey, I wasn’t even that “tricked” by the whole thing to begin with. But the last 20 years have been just outside of reality. Obama was a great orator and led with a calm poise, but our global policy was still unrelenting.
