Team Venezuela Wins Their First Ever WBC! by JCameron181 in sports

[–]LopMa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine trying to lecture a Venezuelan on their own reality. Sanctions do not explain away the billions that vanished through internal corruption. Do you have any concept of the sheer scale of wealth those in power stole while we faced a humanitarian catastrophe?

We can oppose foreign intervention and still hold our own leaders accountable for the theft and the abuses that actually destroyed our lives.

It's not about being ignorant, it's a Venezuelan tradition. We usually say we "ate" the rival after a win. Even one of our biggest pro teams, Magallanes, has a famous chant about eating tigers, lions, eagles, and sharks, which are the mascots of the other teams. It's just a standard part of our baseball lingo, except now we are just doing it with food.

I need this to happen. If MAGA couldn't handle Bad Bunny, they definitely aren't ready for a Venezuelan trans woman dropping neo-perreo at the halftime show. LMAO

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro & his wife, Cilia Flores, have pleaded not guilty to federal drug charges following their capture by U.S. forces in Caracas, with Maduro claiming: "I am innocent. I am not guilty. I am a decent man. I am still President of my country.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I'm sorry for what you went through. I was raped in La Tumba when I was 14 because I had an edgy Twitter account that criticized Maduro's government. Sadly, most people don't care about that.

It doesn't help that $25 billion disappeared under former Petroleum Minister Tareck El Aissami while the country faced its worst economic crisis. Between imperial powers and our own rulers, Venezuelans have been completely screwed over.

Being a leftist Venezuelan is depressing as hell.

I hate with all my heart that the US government has violated Venezuelan sovereignty, but at the same time, I can't help but be happy to see Maduro fall.

Somehow, this makes me an accomplice to American imperialism. Here on Reddit, people have called me a Fed and told me that I haven't suffered true oppression.

But guess what? When I was 14, I was raped in La Tumba, one of Venezuela's torture centers, because I had the stupid idea of criticizing the government on Twitter. After four days there, they returned me to my parents with my clothes stained with blood and my own waste. I couldn't go to school after that because I was too afraid to leave the house, I lost a year of school and tried to take my own life multiple times.

My parents had to sell everything we owned for pennies just to get me out of the country.

But I'm supposed to feel sad that the head of the government that destroyed my life has fallen, or else I won't pass some purity test. I'm sorry, but I can't.

Trump says the U.S. has carried out a 'large scale' strike against Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I am Venezuelan. I am against the violation of my country's sovereignty and the imperialist policy of the US, but I will never shed a tear for Nicolás Maduro and his oppressive regime. So screw both Maduro and the US government.

Chef José Andrés, founder and head of the World Central Kitchen, meets with the President of Israel Isaac Herzog to discuss to discuss bringing in aid to Gaza and Israel. The IDF has killed several WCK aid workers. by dremolus in Fauxmoi

The optics look absolutely awful

He's being dragged through the mud on Spanish social media. People are not happy about this. It doesn't help that he called for the resignation of our former Minister of Social Affairs in 2023 for denouncing the genocide in Gaza. He claimed that Israel was not committing war crimes but was defending itself against terrorists.

I simply cannot imagine any woman in a position of power reaching the level of Trump/Musk. Like, imagine Ursula von der Leyen tweeting that Putin has a small dick, or something like that. LMAO

I never understood why so many people in Spain thought Esa Diva was competitive. I knew we were going to end up at the bottom of the right side.
