Funny how neolibs are self-aware enough to recognize that their own unpopularity necessitates jailing socialists in order to hold voters hostage in a choice between them and fascists, but not self-aware enough to recognize that their unpopularity is why they will lose to fascists anyway.

Hitler: I want to ban left-wing parties but I need to change the constitution Centrists: banning the socialists and communists would leave us all their votes by default! Very well, but we're not stupid we want a written promise that you won't ban us too Hitler: okay can I give it to you after you vote to give me unlimited power and I don't need you anymore? Centrists: hmmmm...something isn't right here...why? Hitler: I want to make sure the typesetting is all perfect for you Centrists: aw how sweet!

It's the same gaslighting southernors use here. "We don't have those racial problems down here like the Yankees do up north. They're projecting their own problems with black people on our southern way of life, stirring up trouble and trying to put one race against the other." The same people in that thread are saying the real imperialism and paternalism is not carpet bombing the global south and installing US puppet governments.

Uh no sorry your Aunt Margaret is an American so if she says Biden stole the election with 3am pallet dumps of fake ballots in Maricopa County then it must have happened YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO AMERICANS!

Zedhe Khoja posted:50/50 And even then they knew that just to hold out long enough they'd need like tanks and paramilitary training and poo poo. But I guess that's the dose of reality that losing a popular revolution gets you, and their kids never had that, instead they watched too much Game of Thrones and they believe they can just pull up in a yacht and get carried on a palanquin to the presidential palace by grateful crowds.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:you notice that an external / outside force has to be holding the regime together. in venezuela, it was "cuban agents" who were plying their tricks. now, in cuba, things would just fall apart were it not for imported venezuelan "thugs" and makarov-wielding slavic doorknockers Reminds me of the BLM protests that are always professional protestors/thugs shipped in from other cities...all breaking out in every major city simultaneously. Paid protestors from Chicago heading to Seattle passing caravans of other paid protestors from Seattle on the highway making the opposite journey

They only suppress antidemocratic troublemakers and anarchists which is what you are if you aren't aligned with the US government.

How can you not find enough people in DC to do an anti-Cuba protest Can't you just force all the heritage foundation new grad hires or chamber of commerce interns to go hold some flags for a day loving christ. It's not like you think it's a spontaneous all-natural organic event if you're on the board planning it with 8 other lackeys rolling in billionaire donations

Cao Ni Ma posted:I took a look at the OAS and it looks like they still have venezuala as a member because they recognize guido as the legitimate ruler. I honestly dont know how anyone can be a member of this with a straight face. What is the argument for Guaido being the legitimate president again? Like even if Maduro had rigged the vote, and you could prove it, and Maduro said "aw shucks you win I give up", why does the office devolve upon this guy?

The accusation is that he keeps people "dependent" on him (in other words, gives them reasons to vote for him), which is deplorable obviously Voters are supposed to carefully compare resumes then file in to vote for the longest one, and then the candidate spits in their faces and tells them to thank him for letting them cast a grubby vote and act like they're part of the process oh and they don't deserve anything. Giving people stuff that makes their lives better is cheating.

Weren't those elections illegitimate due to Maduro cheating by paying off Venezuelan voters for support rather than American corporations?

I'm amazed at cutting fuel taxes and then waiting for gas stations to charge less out of the goodness of their hearts People are buying the gas for what they're charging now, and they can't buy less gas because they gotta get to work, why would they ever charge less

Orange Devil posted:150k a year is a lot of money everywhere. It's really not. You can't even afford to hire full-time house staff on that, what with the outrageous salary and vacation demands those people are making these days. Forcing someone to subsist on the low end of six figures is downright cruel.
