Has anyone seen the disaster in Venezuela where scores of people are being killed by the government. There have been some sad images.
God Bless these Unites States of America
^^^^^^That's how New Yorkers fucked up Florida. We fucked up NY , then move to another state and vote the same old fucking way.
But 99% of the south americans I know. ...and I know a lot of them (most techical and very smart) come here to USA and vote or support left.
Same with indo paks.
Same with Iranians.
Y'all know me....I'm gonna say it.
I ask them. Why the fuck you vote for the same shit you just run away from? ....you stupid fuck.
The only ones that stereotypically come here and vote right IMO are Cubans. Mainly IMO because they witnessed the decay of their parents.
Edit: the response is usually: Obama and Hillary are "for the people"

Anyways some of the pictures shown of Venezuela are 2 years old, some are other countries. Yes it is a disaster but MAduro is the president elect, the revolt is people trying to get him out of power and in venezuela the last poll showed a 78% agreement with the government.
My friends in Venezuela are ok, I guess when you have money you are ok anywhere but we cannot be quick to judge because the truth always comes years after the fact. That is why I hope it gets resolved without much bloodshed, but as far as me believing the media, not quite. There is USA money involved in the revolts and it has to do with petroleum.
These are my 2 cents. I just thing that disregarding communism as a viable way of living all together without us living there is bad. Also when 80% of companies neglect to make business with you in purely philosophical grounds yes there will be a scarcity of products (like Cuba).
And before I am accused I am a US citizen, but I'm also a spaniard. Originally Posted by aduren
