His intervention comes as the presidents of Brazil, Mexico and Colombia all called on Venezuela to release the full details of last Sunday's election.

It has also attracted global criticism, with many governments around the world demanding the Venezuelan government release proof of the result.

The result has been recognised by Venezuelan allies China, Russia and Iran.

But, the US, European Union and other G7 countries have called on Mr Maduro’s government to release detailed voting data.

They don't. And they don't need to! Being rude at people who disagree with the US State departments official position (which is not propaganda) is good enough, because propaganda = opinions that are not in line with the US state dept.

They believe that "fact" so powerfully that theyll get angry at you and insult you. Other facts become unnecessary if the person saying them is untrustworthy. Uncomfortable truths, any thoughts about the US's many, many efforts to control the global south may be terminated along with the messenger.

Besides people use Ad hominem because it's just so easy

Do you read what you have written and think, "yeah, that was a reasonable take?"

People are literally pointing this person toward the information they claim doesn’t exist. A few people were abrasive about it bc it comes up under an easy search. But they’ve ignored it, double down, and been dismissive.

Say what you want about the hive mind of Lemmy but be honest about this interaction.

Nobody pointed me towards anything until now and I literally immediately said “thank you” and amended my comment.

It literally does not come up after an easy search. Someone had to directly link me to a strange website that I’ve never heard of before so I could see the proof.

And you’re scolding people for being dishonest? lol
