I haven't followed pro-coup propaganda the past few weeks; have they given up insisting that Juan must be good for American leftists because jUaN GuAiDo'S pArTy iS sOcIaLiST?

yeah that poo poo fell apart pretty quick when it became clear that no, people don't support guaido because he's an alternative, it's because he's their alternative.

hope? they don't need hope, the sanctions are on and what little useful currencies the govt had left has been stolen by imperialist powers. game's already over, and the only expense is going to be 10 million brown people starving to death.

realtalk tho i wonder how much of that splintering is caused by guaido directly. i can't imagine there's enough people in the oppos that are down with calling for more better sanctions and bombing

in slovenia, we call this "pulling a jankovič"

the mayor of my town's been mired in corruption bullshit for literal decades now, though he's never been convicted of anything. that's not surprising, seeing how he's a fairly competent person, even if he did do any of things, he'll definitely get away with it. also, he's serbian, this'll be relevant later.

he and his party still win every single election. a lot of people say "idc about the corruption bullshit, all those fuckers are corrupt anyway, at least these guys do useful poo poo with the money". when he first became mayor, the big right wing party was in charge of the parliament, and they diverted funds from our town "literally anywhere else" just as he was doing a couple big projects, and then started the usual racist+austerity line of "but the town is so deep in debt, look at this serb bullshit" <shows number>. didn't work at all tho lmao.

it's been like 15 years since he's in office, and our town is now the only place in the country with a positive budget sheet and actually lowering debt, despite the mentioned budget cuts on national level, and despite looking nothing like the garbage dump it did 20 years ago lmao

i love my dumbass balkan state of affairs

funny I just went on the subreddit on democracynow to look for discussion on this. Heard the "two sides" coverage this morning. Very disappointing. DemocracyNow still seems popular in leftist circles but the constant ukraine/russia gate coverage makes some hesitant to tune in, including myself. I only caught part 1 of the Bolivian interviews , was part 2 any better in regards to pushback?

demnow absolutely insists on reporting "both sides" it seems like, as far as foreign events go. they had a great interview with some dude out of vz on the guaido coup bullshit in venezuela in january, then a couple weeks later they also reported all the state dept talking points iirc.

as a non-usa person, they're sometimes my news source on events inside usa since they have a slight idea about what the gently caress is going on and aren't as insanely biased as the rest of their media, but on foreign affairs they're not much better. the most you can say about them is they at least acknowledge that there's more to the story than the state dept partyline

They probably know you're in the target demographic for Grayzone.

the only thing google knows about me is that i'm from eastern europe because unless i need maps specifically (which are bad on duckduckgo) i never use it and block all their lovely 3rd party content/cookies etc, so it's kinda funny

Dont know much else other than that it's a largely rural country

also, a quarter of the country is mountains, and another quarter is a jungle. if the coupsters wanna keep going with this, they're gonna have an unwinnable guerilla war on their hands by the looks of it

imo, the coup can't take over the whole country anymore. probably can't really "win" either, just drag this out. my bet is still that when the far superior in numbers protesters start shooting at the pigs they're gonna run the gently caress away, but if coup gets significant materiel/personnel support from abroad poo poo could get dragged out :(

greta's fine. she keeps saying infinite growth is the problem because it is and also she's 16, as soon as she says something too political people will go insane, because how could this brat who can't even vote dare try to judge the system she can't possibly understand.

if she's still not saying capitalism is the problem when she's 18, then it's problematic.
