I don’t care about Maduro, as far as I’m concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It’s a collective hangover, a horrible one.
It’s 2016 all over again. It’s seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it’s more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.
This is far from improving, and we know it.
Yeah I have no illusions about people being dicks to random Americans they encounter, that’s how people work. But that’s not what “you can expect to be personally held accountable for your actions the second you leave your borders.” means. That sounds like they’re expecting the fucking ICC to swoop in and arrest people for not burning shit down and trying to kill politicians, which is fucknut crazy.
No, I’m expecting Americans to get curb stomped when they walk into the wrong neighborhood.
