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.

You are exactly as capable of flying to Washington DC and "storming the capital" as I am and the result would be identical.

Mate, I’m 100% confident I am on a no fly list.

Likewise if you haven’t noticed, there’s something called border security and your country has been been locking people up at airports for not having ample social media accounts and talking badly about your fuhrer.

Stop making excuses for why everyone else should clean up your mess.

Come get your boy Rupert Murdoch and his spawn then since we're cleaning up our own messes, or is the architect of contemporary right-wing media control my responsibility as well?

He has been an American citizen since 1985, when he also renounced his Australian citizenship.

Or are you one of those racists who thinks immigrants never belong in their new home?

Nice b8 m8.

It's not bait, you're literally denying an immigrant their citizenship in your country and treating them like they still belong to the country they grew up in.

It's pretty sad how low you'll go to find an excuse for why Americans shouldn't have to act to stop Trump.
