There's no good option, but the least poo poo one is probably not enabling some loving fascists so they can privatize the oil reserves after they seize power.

But poo poo this is basically us_latin_america_policy.txt. Gonna loving laugh real loving hard when the pissgolem stands down because daddy told him no though.

The opposition aren't fascists and Maduro's already sold most of the oil reserves to China. The idea that the opposition is somehow just as bad is an utter fantasy and displays a deep ignorance about why the country is in the situation that it's in.

No, it's fine. I'll explain it again.
You never start a land war in Asia. Unless you start two, then the negative and negative turns to a positive.
Venezuela isn't in Asia. Ergo, victory!

I wouldn't say that about WI, if you for example drive from Chicago to Minneapolis once you go past Madison or Milwaukee the largest town you go through is a small tourist trap.

Ohio is definitely what you say though, you're never too far from a moderately sized city.

Well, the interstate is routed kind of oddly and doesn't go through the cities themselves, but Western WI has Eau Claire and La Crosse which are both in that 100k or so range. But going north or south from Milwaukee there are a bunch of those kinds of places.

if Americans weren't such cowards there'd be mobs of people turning over police cars and burning banks down in multiple cities. Look at France; those fuckers are completely ungovernable over a few cents per liter of diesel in a country where there are usable train networks

instead we're like hmm maybe the 70 year old indian is the bad guy, not the crowd of jeering teens from a private all-white all-boys school also have you heard there might be some black people to blame even though they're not in the video?

Um you're crazy. Minneapolis is like 10-15 degrees colder than Milwaukee or Chicago in Winter. I'm a lifelong resident of the area and that fact is a huge reason why I don't move to Minneapolis since it's otherwise a really cool city. As to the climate here I wouldn't judge the other midwestern cities by Minneapolis, yes it's cold and it snows but it's not really notably worse than any other northern city like say in New England.

Bah. Up north during the 13'-14' winter it dropped below zero every night for 2 months. This is pretty weak in comparison.

Admittedly it was starting to make me kind of crazy towards the end.

I grew up in Fairbanks. Gets down about -50 F every winter when I was living there.

I do not live there anymore, and would not want to move back. It's loving cold.

Careful clicking the actual twitter thread because there's a dude being lit on fire in that timeline

They're calling themselves a "anti-imperialist" so I'd say take their claims with a bit of salt, because that's generally a dog whistle for the "SO WHAT if Stalin starved 6 million Ukranians to death! they were kulaks and deserved it! also it didn't happen!" left-authoritarian types.
