The US Attacked my country... (lemmy.world)

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.

Are you blaming Thatcher? Except the Falklands war was completely the fault of the Argentinian junta. The junta was growing unpopular and wanted to invade the islands to artificially shore up their approval ratings. Thatcher, for all her faults, did consider giving up Falklands to prevent a war, but the locals in the islands are completely loyal to the British so handing over the islands to the Argentines is out of the question.

Edit: as expected, Lemmy and their wilful ignorance as always.

Yeah the US is pulling an Argentina this time round, same reason even, plus oil.

Get a job

An .ml user telling someone to get a job? Oh the irony.

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 months ago

It only appears ironic if you're politically illiterate

Cry more for handouts while being terminally online.

Cry more for handouts

You sound like a republican.

Yes, I am an anti-monarchist, and not terminally online unlike you

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Oh christ. You know damned well that I was saying that your talk about handouts makes you sound like a member of the US republican party.

In addition to that, you now sound like a condescending prick.

I have no problem with free education and healthcare and those on unemployment benefits, but a terminally online tankie don't really deserve it...

But you'll oppose anyone who tries to make that a reality.

"terminally online" is just what centrists say when they want to pretend that being out of touch is a virtue.

Huh? Oh sorry, we already have those basic rights in Europe. But it doesn't make me a terminally online tankie 😂

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Oh sorry, we already have those basic rights in Europe.

And oppose them everywhere else. Good work.

But it doesn’t make me a terminally online tankie

You learned one insult and apply it to everyone to your left.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Are you saying you don't have a job?

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Where are you getting that idea?

Surprisingly you've managed to go an entire comment without mindlessly parroting "terminally online tankie!"

[-] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Anything's possible when you make shit up
