and using privilege is not that big of a deal as long as you don't treat it like some dark secret! with literally any other poster in any other context in any other country regarding any other issue i'd be like "yo, gently caress it, hustle respects hustle" and move on, but.... lmao thats a big loving detail about your personal story to stay quiet on while using your personal life story to talk about how you're totally in touch with the man on the street in VZ who definitely wants Something TO Happen; certainly not invasions coups or bombs! you'd never advocate that! you don't have the balls to advocate that. no. passive voice only. someone. must do: something. other than maduro. who's to say?

My favorite fnox bit was when he tried to prove something must be done by saying he saw people eating out of the garbage. Like that's a problem only Venezuela has.

im assuming that bit refers to a video + interview of poor venezuelans chasing a garbage truck and sifting through garbage cans because they are starving. this is an indictment of maduro, even though the country has been targeted with crippling sanctions (that according to liberals are useless and do no harm), and state reserves have been seized so they could not be used to import basic necessities.

I'm generally inclined to trust these claims (since it's not that inconceivable that someone who experienced legitimate hardship might respond by developing hardline pro-regime-change views towards their country's government, and I'll end up looking like a huge rear end in a top hat if I assume otherwise and am wrong), but I'm aware that I'm probably being overly naive by doing this.

I definitely do feel disgust towards a bunch of privileged white-collar liberals using a handful of Venezuelan ex-pats to justify harming millions of people through sanctions or military action, though. It seems like this is a fairly frequent trend among these types, where a bunch of white managerial-professional goons all glomp onto a handful of minorities who agree with them and use that to justify their toxic/harmful political views. It also happened/happens with the anti-Sanders folks. I really can't understate the visceral disgust I feel towards these people.

do these people even attempt to reconcile this with maduro straight up offering another election while again asking for UN observers to ratify it, while the opposition explicitly refused both offers, or does that just kind of fall by the wayside

Evo Morales is a left-leaning President of Bolivia and therefore automatically bad prima facie, ergo accuse him of having committed all crimes everywhere all the time.

Maduro and the PSUV have undetectable mind control and/or cyber hacking capability. They only way to ensure a free and fair election is to hold elections months after:

1) Maduro and anyone 6-degrees from him is forced into exile or dead
2) vote buying is ended (such as CLAP, and other social welfare programs)
3) foreign aid is allowed in, via designated distribution channels that use the free market to efficiently allocate the aid, while trickling down economic stimulation

Some worry that 2 would lead to an increase mortality rate for the lower two thirds of the population, but proponents of 3 assure us that mortality rates would, in fact, be optimized.
