This legendary Nadal ad probably convinced a bunch of SporTV viewers that spanish is worth leaning since 2009. Years later it still gets me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqzUrMaYLq8

not a huge maduro fan but all these articles calling him a Unelected Dictator after winning 70% of the vote in an election with only slightly lower turnout than American elections, where the candidate with less votes won, are pretty funny. https://twitter.com/guardian/status/999208351790755840

70% is downright sensible for someone rigging an election if he did. you'd think more dictators would do that instead of always getting 95%+ of the vote

well the most embarrassing thing was the turnout, so if youre going to rig yourself 70% of the vote should also buffer the turnout

Western media was calling the election rigged before, during, and after it happened. And the US was going to sanction Venezuela regardless. https://twitter.com/APjoshgoodman/status/998569608780111872 Lol, the AP guy is more balanced than the ProPublica person.

saying "they could have won!" seems naive when there's very good evidence vote totals were outright altered in the last election, and when the PSUV lost the election prior to that the Supreme Court just negated everything they did also, while Venezuela's opposition is utter poo poo, unlike US Democrats, they at least have the excuse of having popular members arrested/removed from office on flimsy pretexts

so Brazil is having a trucking strike because fuel prices got jacked and the "autonomous transporter" management strategy pushed by companies and such to prevent them from unionizing actually can't do poo poo from a legal pov to compel them to, you know, carry goods around since the country infrastructure is "even though we are a continental country with the majority of people living in the Atlantic shoreline, gently caress any form of transportation except roads", fuel prices have skyrocketed and let's not enter in food logistics lol I am just thinking it is unbelievably hilarious that for once a cost-saving anti-labor measure actually provided the perfect cover for they to strike and give no fucks at all lmao

According to this Globo editorial, Brazil should look at Thatcher and Macron re: dealing with strikers. Did you know Brazil is the only country on earth where strikes work? Communists

lmao, like striker repression isn't a huge deal already in Brazil editorials like that always make me question that the internet didn't make a problem worse, just gave more exposition: like, what loving reality the people who pen those live? The elitist "intellectual conservative" MAGA-like bubble in the West must been in existence for what, six or seven decades by now?

Weeping Wound posted:someone said the truckers' strike is a locaute PT-BR for lockout kinda, though not entirely accurate: from what I gathered, autonomous drivers were the main force behind it, and transport companies decided to "let" their drivers strike (going by the info given by the main trucker associations it was more of a move to save face because the employed truckers were going to halt anyway) this one, which all states and the federal district were in and the truckers blocked major intersections along the busiest federal roadways and main interstates, is leagues beyond the last attempt at a general trucker's strike 3 years back which deffo was a lockout, since most drivers were company workers and while some autonomous drivers showed solidarity, a much larger number didn't agree with the overall tone and saw the complaints more in favor of businesses rather than drivers, so the government managed a thing or two and it fizzled now the president managed to get a 15-day truce of sorts tonight, so I am curious to see what plan those maniacs are cooking, so far the main guarantee is that the government will subsidize diesel costs to Petrobras (main state fuel company) which will allow it to maintain its pricing policy, so I expect some bullshit regressive tax hike

strike is far from loving over, actually, because the deal was made with entities representing the companies and businessmen drivers said "gently caress that poo poo" and rallied, they kept the blockades and are going to distribute whatever perishable goods they might have in cargo if it risks expiring

love it, love everything about it. though i should point out the anarchists in france who wrote the "the coming insurrection" correctly identified the weakness of just-in-time logistics to class action amongst the transportation industry

Maduro isn't shy about imprisoning or disqualifying potential rivals. Even when they won a super-majority in the Assembly they weren't allowed to actually exercise their power.
