I turn my dreams into words. Always in the present. Here and Now. Él / He /Him 🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🫓🫓🫓 "You don't get what you dream about.... You get what you strive for step by step!" Atsuko "Akko" Kagari (Little Witch Academia, 2017)

  • Visible ankles? Scandalous!

  • American Culture is Common Culture at this point...

    For years, the United States has benefited most from globalization. They either don't admit it or don't realize it.

  • I would say that here in Venezuela, the existing generations can be divided into:

    • 4th Republic/Pre-Chávez: all those who were born before 1998 and lived before Hugo Chávez's term in office.

      • They are characterized by being more conservative, as they lived in a time before the rise of the left and Chavismo and know a different Venezuela.
    • 5th Republic / Bolivarian Revolution: All those who were born and lived during Chávez's term from 1998 until his death. That is my generation.

      • Many of us are either very progressive, because our parents who voted for Chávez believed in his ideas, or very conservative for the opposite reason. We are much more politically aware than previous and subsequent generations.
    • Post-Revolution / Madurismo: Everyone who was born and grew up during the crisis that followed Chávez's death and Maduro's term in office. My nephew's generation.

      • There are no Chávez supporters here, as they did not get to experience a time when things were not so bad; austerity, scarcity, and misery are all they know. Many of them are now abroad.
    • Pandemic: all children born during the pandemic. This includes my other niece.

      • They are still too young to say what their character is like. Most are children of Venezuelans who went abroad, so their idea of what the country is like, if they are still abroad, is influenced by their parents and the media.

    (needles to say, I'm not a sociologist or anything. All this comes from pure observation)
  • Being somewhat older ≈ more mature

  • First photo: immaturity, longing for status.

  • Lol I was gonna comment that too!

  • Exactly like American Cubans

    1. From Maduro's part. They are deeply incompetent.

    2. The Oil is a curse. It could be a blessing if people knew how to use it. Chavez thought he knew, he was wrong. The Saudi's know. They have a lot of skeletons in their closet, yet it seems like receiving their money is not big problem. Branding.

    Bukele can rule over El Salvador as he please because he is a The Gang Buster. Branding.

    Peru can have as many presidents as they like without affecting the economy cuz... well, they are all corrupt, "but least they aren't communist". Branding

  • From a Venezuelan living in Venezuela, in short: he wasn't Chavez.

    Long answer: Chávez had the political savvy to make a name and reputation for himself that could protect him despite criticism from hegemonic states. Maduro was never able to hold a candle to him, which is why he declined in popularity despite "technically" perpetuating what Chávez had built.

    "But the drugs! But the human rights!" Center-right politicians in the region have faced similar (more verifiable) accusations, yet none have received the same level of global criticism as Chávez or Maduro.

    "But democracy!" Peru has had five presidents in less than two years, and no one says anything. Bukele intends to remain in power in El Salvador for life, and no one says anything.

    It's not an ideological or moral issue, It's Branding.

  • Of course the Paladin was the first casualty.

  • No one convinced anyone that capitalism was a good Idea when it came out, they just did it.

    And there's no "better" alternative because, most of the time, capitalist kill it before it could flourish.

  • Well, I don't have any retirement account, but I don't need any more reasons to be pissed off by Temu's Lex Luthor, A.K.A. Elon Musk

  • Straight people are so weird sometimes.
