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.
so, do you still think this is “far from improving”, now that hundreds of political prisoners are being released en masse and torture centers are being shut down? do you really think the purpose of military patrols was to prevent looting??
Ok, I am just…I’m lost for words. NONE felt comfortable enough to share their feelings with this community, and you just go and say shit about their life right now? Their home is most likely destroyed or damaged. They have told us things from their own experience. A inside look into the horrors of what they have witnessed because America–my beloved America, that has turned into a dictatorship–and you tell them that what they are saying is untrue; you are contradicting them? Unless you, yourself, live in Venezuela, I don’t think you have the right to tell NONE what is or isn’t happening, nor what is good or bad. Instead, aid NONE in their time of grief, loss, and confusion. Compassion, in the darkest times, is like a light in the mist: guiding the one who is suffering back to the light.
OK, this comment kinda pissed me off and I was gonna write a whole bible to respond it, but it does not worth it. So I’m just gonna do this:
Yes
I know it. I live it
That’s just PR, and It was either that or more bombing, to civilians in this case I guess, idk.
