using the heightened rate of gang murders to justify police death squads to kill gang members that are actually your rivals in the drug game, is a pretty clever business plan you have to admit.

Gotta share some anecdotal, but very solid evidence that the gusanos are all bad faith fascists: Houston has a big VZ population. My brother is a middle-class Lib who married a Venezolano from a well-off landed family. The family is, of course, all-in on Guaido. They also love Trump (very normal for Latinx immigrants to love Trump). They talk up Guaido and Trump so much that my brother, again a privileged Liberal, actually started calling them out on it. He gave them a brief history lesson on US interventionism. He said he couldn't stand it anymore. Granted, my brother and his husband do not like or support Maduro. But the blatant Trump imperialism and bad faith attacks have turned them around on Guaido. The family is a complete lost cause. They are rich and landed and have 100% taken to the proud American right-wing tradition of self-victimization. But I'm proud of my bro. So thanks Mr. President Sir for botching the coup and crystallizing things for a Lib. Edit: Crap I forgot an important part of the story. The family hates AMLO for not joining the Lima Group. This was the last straw for my brother who liked some of AMLOs soc dem ideas. The gusanos had the gall to tell Mexicans how to vote for their own president Frijolero has issued a correction as of 17:55 on Aug 5, 2019 |

Congratulations, you've now discovered firsthand how America's post-1965 immigration policies create an immigrant class of native informants and compradors who exist to justify more US intervention abroad. The part that pays the richest dividends is the second generation, who go straight to chud like Kathy Zhu and Andy Ngo.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The people being fast tracked for citizenship aren't working class. For the longest time one of the easiest ways for Chinese people to get asylum and permanent residency was to cook up a fake asylum claim with the help of an entire network of immigration lawyers, social workers, pastors, and other people who ran a fake asylum ring. For propaganda purposes the US was turning a blind eye to people showing up and claiming that the PRC tortured them for being christian, forced them to get an abortion, etc. will all the paperwork being filled out by this ring in an assembly line manner in exchange for cash. Win-win example of interest alignment: with a five figure payment people get permanent residency and the state department got a steady stream of people ready to to testify about savage human rights abuses. When the Obama admin decided that the pivot to Asia was going to escalate the lurid claims even further this ring was shut down. No longer needing native informants, the Trump admin is now trying to get these people deported quote:In a written statement, USCIS confirmed the substance of Lawrence's story — that immigration officials are now reviewing 3,500 asylum cases handled years ago by the people convicted during Operation Fiction Writer. Immigration authorities also confirm that they are reviewing the asylum cases of more than 10,000 family members who were granted what is called "derivative asylum status." This country's immigration policy has always been dictated by foreign policy needs first, not humanitarianism or any kind of universalist value.

US announces embargo of Venezuela and opposition dutifully drops out of negotiations with the government https://twitter.com/jmcevoy_2/status/1158773428427644941 The plan is nothing less than to starve millions to death and hope to destroy the government that way, for its crimes of having a nationalized oil company instead of letting Exxon take over Max Blumenthal interview with Nicholas Maduro https://thegrayzone.com/2019/08/06/interview-venezuelan-president-nicolas-maduro/

Maduro is an interesting guy, like he seems genuine and makes me feel like Venezuelan propaganda reflects the true sentiment of the idealistic side of its leadership. But there's also a noticeable bubble where they've been fighting a just defense of a revolution at least since the oil prices crashed and are actually energized by how USA has become so openly antagonistic in recent years. He embodies a sort of peak radlib ethos, where he not only associates revolution with established processes and institutions but also expects the people to literally launch a civil war to restore them if the government falls in an extra-judicial manner. Or actually in defense of something more radical, as if as an acknowledgement that he has been holding them back as a negotiation chip to preserve social peace with capitalists and so on.
