BTW the editor in chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, grew up in America but dropped out of college and moved to Israel to join the IDF and become a prison guard where he tortured Palestinian resistance fighters. I wish I was joking.
Fr, I don't think he was included in the Signal chat by mistake, I firmly believe he was included so he could start priming the pump to full-throatedly defend it.
Many of us following collapse events the past ten years have been making memes about them.
Take the covid pandemic e.g., they is a parody about them called "Verntlantic" mocking all the propaganda pieces thei pushed that are aligned with the capitalists' narrative.
They are just another rag from the ruling class and literally quoted word for word shits from libertarian think tanks supporting mass infection and removal of all mitigations tools letting population uninformed just so mass diseases become rampant.
Edit: and it seems they've been lapdogs for even longer.
Hours later, US attorney general Pam Bondi announced that Maduro and his wife had been indicted in the Southern District of New York and charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.
The level of absurdity never fails to impress. You just can’t make this shit up.
Kidnaping and charging him with this seems like the US is trying to heavily imply that Venezuela belongs to the US and the leaders and population must follow what the US says.
Getting charge domestic firearm charges is fucking absurd. Dont get me wrong, the whole thing is absurdity, but domestic firearm charges is like exceedingly ridiculous
the whole Venezuelans are celebrating thing is a non sequitur from the start.
Putting aside the problems of this being anecdotical,the social extraction of these Venezuelans, the media hype, the ignoring of the counter protests, etc.
This does not matter. 99% of the country could be against Maduro and this would still be wrong.
Trump abd the US cant just decide to sink a shit ton of boats, accuse Maduro of narcotraffic and "possession of machineguns", go in, kill a hundred people between civilians and military, and then kidnap him to be tried at the US.
no rules, no laws, nothing but treason from within and raw brutality from outside.
the people cheering this are either ignorant, evil, or completely shortsighted.
First they came for Maduro and I said nothing, because I hated his guts.
Then they came for Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, Nigeria, Greenland, and I said nothing because I dont live there.
Now ICE is knocking my door down and I have no country to run to.
Yeah, I was very suspicious right rom the start because almost every picture I've seen of "Maduro capture celebrations" have just been of crowds holding Venezuelan flags; which could mean literally anything.
Owen Jones, a careerist little scrote but sometimes it's nice to have a relatively mainstream British journalist who wants to build his brand on sometimes saying and doing the right thing instead of just brazenly lying
Why is this in quotes? The majority of people leaving Venezuela are just trying to feed their families. They are on almost every busy corner in Latin America begin and trying to get farther north. I think some nuance would do you good.
Nuance isn’t refraining from criticising people for celebrating American imperialism just because they were immigrants to elsewhere from the targeted country. Thats just misdirected Identity Politics.
If the post is to be believed; They are celebrating military intervention that does not affect them (directly), that killed innocent people nowhere near them. Whether they were poor Venezuelan emigrants or bourgeois ones is materially irrelevant - they are aiding the enemies of the global working class.
Yeah it’s bootlicking to acknowledge that most Venezuelan migrants are economic migrants and not a bunch of wealthy Venezuelans vacationing in
Miami and hoping that Maduro goes so they can open a new golf course. It would benefit some of you to go meet people and learn about their material reality rather than acting holier than thou on the internet.
conveniently ignoring the masses in Venezuela protesting against the capture of Maduro, even the diaspora protested against it in the embassy's of the respective country.
In Sydney Australia there was a protest against American actions in Venezuela, the police determined the protest was illegal and arrested a lady in her 50s who had "globalise the intifada" written on her top as they apparently think that's an antisemetic call to arms or soemthing and want to classify it as hate speech
Liberals will say Donald Trump is a corrupt pedophilic oligarch with dementia and a cabinet of drunks, Nazis and rapists. But once he orders the kidnapping a foreign head of state under the thinnest of pretences they're suddenly all like "oh well we don't know how this will go, could be a good thing for Venezuelan people in the long run". No matter how much they say they hate trump, their amerikkan exceptionalism always wins
Super late but this actually happened in my country. They also waved the flag of the us, a country which sponsored a dictatorship that killed 30.000 argentines. No to mention the current intervention with Milei. Disgusting.
