Chile. 1m+ people in a country of 17m storm the streets against their billionaire leader and demand the end of neoliberalism.
Ecuador. Indigenous uprisings against the neoliberal traitor President force the government to flee the capital, and the military announces a campaign to "neutralize" the protesters.
Venezuela. A carefully choreographed protest featuring self-declared President Juan Guaido turns out a few hundred passive attendees.
U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT: We stand with the Venezuelan people, who have bravely stood up and spoken out against the dictator Nicolas Maduro. You are now sentenced to Death by Sanctions and all your assets internationally are hereby seized and given to this Guido guy.

media is already reporting two people “were killed” in riots implying it was so obvious the murderers were opposition there’s no way to blame government forces

Lopez left house arrest during the coup attempt, and when it was obvious that it wasn't going to go anywhere he immediately petitioned for asylum from the Brazilian & Spanish embassies.

seriously, watch the new season of jack ryan, it's hilarious
there's a part where maduroreyes sets up a leftist militia for the killing of an american senator and jack ryan says that's nonsense cause I quote "they're a tiny leftist militia, anti-americanism isn't even in their dna"
and the lady guaido gets asked by a reporter how come she's pro-american considering the sanctions they impose and gives an answer straight out of the d&d talking points

Armed and dangerous?? This could have gotten him killed, and also goes a way to proving how political this was. It deserves way more attention than it has been getting from the press.

To be fair, a new Constitution like Venezuela's that has articles about how natural resources belong to the people and not private interests would kick rear end.
