A really incredible man and some very poignant reflections quoted here. There was a good interview / documentary about him on Netflix a few years ago before he had cancer.

They’ll just get assassinated like Fred Hampton if they start using their charisma to advocate revolution.

Thanks! That’s more or less what I thought it meant but I wasn’t sure if there was some other context I was missing.

Liberation is available at the push of a button, and it will happen in one major decisive battle where the curtain of history will fly open and return to us our first pre-colonial state Andalusia, I mean Palestine.

What is the meaning of the reference to Andalusia here?

Diosdado Cabello

This guy’s name is God-Given Hair. Let’s see his beautiful flowing locks.

Extremely disappointing lol

Why the fuck would Maduro call for new elections? He won. Lula talking some nonsense there.

I also would appreciate this

Your situation is very similar to one I found myself in after becoming unemployed from the job I had after graduating with a CS degree. We’re close to the same age, also.

I’m still not using my degree, but things have gotten a bit better, I found a job that’s not high paying but it’s stable and I got out into my own place again and got married (also again, a divorce was a big part of what left me on my ass financially too). I’m still hoping to actually get into my field and a higher paying job at some point but I also have contingency plans for if that doesn’t happen, and we’re scraping by for now. I hope it gets better for you as well.

Their coins are also big.

The life expectancy in North Korea is actually 26, the government just lies and says it’s 70+

Cori Bush lost her primary after a pro-Israel group spent millions of dollars campaigning against her.

The U.S. has 34 times the raw talent pool as Cuba but only 12 times as many medals. So Cuba is 3 times as good at sports as USA.

Which game is this?

Last time a lot of the opposition promoted boycotting the elections, though, in order to declare them illegitimate. This time they actually encouraged people to vote, so that would explain it being a lot closer.

I haven’t seen any yet. If he loses it’s going to be a disaster for Venezuela.

You can tell a golden retriever “I hate you so much you’re such a dumb piece of shit” but in like a friendly, sing-songy tone and it’s the same to them as if you are saying “good boy, I love you”.

The joke is that libs are like that, as a politician your policy can be “fuck you stupid assholes, we don’t care about you” but if the tone is right lib voters will eat it up.

Lemmy had issues with people attacking the site by posting CSAM so hexbear doesn’t show externally hosted images to prevent that.

We’ll see, he’s been doing a lot of rooting out corruption and ending food insecurity and extreme poverty while building up the infrastructure of the country and contending with the endless hostility from America, but he has recognized that inequality is a problem which needs to be addressed over the next several 5 year plans.

Personally, I’ll defer to the hundred million members of the CPC to determine whether he does a good enough job at it or if somebody else needs to take the reins.

Oh you don’t like being exploited? Well, you’re free to starve and die instead! Freedom!

The rich and the poor are equally free to sleep under a bridge at night.

Everybody is equally free to turn down a job when they need money for food, housing, medical care and other necessities of basic life.
