That is usually the line when society will start moving towards revolution and change.
Get a little hungry? … people start getting angry
Get more hungry? … people start protesting
Face starvation? … people no longer have anything to lose and violent revolution becomes the only option. Why sit around waiting to die when you could just try fighting with a remote possibility of winning when your option is certain death?
This is also the reason why the whole western world does their very best to keep us poor but not so poor that we become hungry. As long as we’re fed, can afford some food or have access to food, we’ll let the powers that be do whatever they like.
Human Capital Minister Sandra Pettovello replaced traditional social programs with limited-reaching programs, suspended deliveries of medication for people with serious illnesses, closed ministry offices across the country, and canceled food deliveries to popular kitchens.
Yeah, those ARE the expected actions of someone appointed by “Captain AnCap” to a post that by its very name implies monetizing of human misery 🤬
In response to today’s mobilizations, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich threatened to activate her anti-riot protocol, which includes the intervention of federal forces to ensure “free circulation” in public spaces.
And of course the only reaction to extremely reasonable dissent a far right government can think of is authoritarian violence 😮💨🤬
I wish Venezuela the best of luck, it isn’t easy when you are sanctioned by the US. Hopefully the rise of BRICS+ will give it a chance to recover. The US has abused its sanction power for too long.
Everything dear leader and commander president Maduro has to say about anything is a LIE or rather maybe he thinks is true and like a emperor lives too far remove from the people he is governing to even know what the heck is going on. However I understand is probably hard to get journalist inside the country to get info from the people living the reality of Venezuela , local news and reporting is heavily sensor nation wide so yeah journalism is hard to do here. I know this because I live in Venuzuela so be chill. - I mean for instance the two public school in my street open from 7am to 10am Tuesday to Friday because there is no water to flush toilets or do cleaning meanwhile the Major is preparing and budgeting for next month’s folk song festival in town, is all tomfoolery.
Venezuelan friend of mine with family who recently managed to flee to the USA:
Yesterday Maduro was talking about it… Already since 4 years people are capable of normally buying food, but everything is imported. Food is not affordable at whatsoever and buying groceries is much more expensive than in richer countries like Germany or USA. With regards of seeing the comments [of this post], they are wrong. Food was already scarce even years before the sanctions.
Just checked and the sanctions started in 2017, while the [food] scarcity was already evident since 2011.
Thats the most stupid thing ive heard in a while. So every country that sells arms to any state is liable for all crimes committed with it? So Iran and Turkey are responsible for Putins actions? Thats just ridiculous.
Weird, because the lawyer is claiming so: ‘“We intend to bring legal proceedings against the U.S. Government based on overwhelming evidence that the U.S. Government has, and is, aiding, abetting and supporting, encouraging or providing material assistance and means to Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces. This conduct by the U.S. Government has enabled and continues to enable Israel to engage in international crimes against the Palestinian people,” the South African lawyers said in a letter sent to US President Joe Biden on January 2.’
Genocide. You know they are attempting to commit genocide and you help out. That is being complicit.
There is an “Obligation to prevent genocide (Article I)” which, according to the ICJ, has an extraterritorial scope. See the Genocide Convention Fact Sheet here un.org/…/Genocide Convention-FactSheet-ENG.pdf
That's not it. The US and UK (mostly the US) continue to defend Israel on the international stage, making it impossible for the UN to enforce a meaningful resolution. And they're giving them aid.
Wtf are you really trying to praise Venezuelan regime? Are you aware of the huge amount of Venezuelans that flee the country daily? Get your facts straight you blind bot.
Funny how you use your bot accounts to downvote real comments but fail to address with a response. That proves my point, you’re just an internet bot spreading misinformation. Stop idealizing these dictatorships dumbass, a real Venezuelan will tell you the real story I bet you can find one near were you live since the mass exodus Is still going on.
