    let’s not whitewash Maduro either

    “S/He was no angel” is the same language conservative media uses to smear victims of police shootings, ICE arrests of migrant people, and targets of US/Israeli assassination.

    Getting tired of hearing the nightmarish actions of a fascist state justified by rattling off reasons you think the victims of this violence deserved it.

    Calling the system under Maduro a “democracy” is a massive stretch.

    How many foreign backed coup attempts does the Venezuelan government need to thwart before we question the foreign-sponsored narrative that the current government is popular and the people failing to replace them through armed insurrection are not?

        The number of times I have said this on Threadiverse… Some people here seem to always believe theres a good guy and a bad guy. The world isn’t usually like that. Very few good guys in power.

        And dipshits can just say shit and fall back on this line when the clear self serving interest behind the completely baseless allegation is examined

        It’s just a way for you to lie and act like being called out is being unreasonable
