‼️🇻🇪 One of the reasons the US wants Maduro gone:

"We cannot be silent, we will not be silent. Venezuela will continue to speak with its own voice to say stop the genocide against the Palestinian people? Ceasefire in Gaza! Enough bombing! Enough murder!"

-President Nicolas Maduro

Dude if you have some sort of coherent thing about how Maduro is the good guy, then let’s have it

Just posting 10 screenshots a day from randos on Twitter who think so, is pretty much as far away as you could get from a good faith effort to demonstrate to people why they should believe + agree with you on this

I am sharing diverse ideas and posts that Lemmy would not be exposed to otherwise.

When I was young, I was only exposed to MSM and owner-class media as well, so I understand the expected backlash and downvotes.

Once I started to criticize and question those in power, I set out and looked for independent media and independent journalists.

If people want to learn more, they can go down the rabbit hole some of us go through; if they want to continue the status quo, I will not stop them, but I will continue to share diverse ideas and world views.

Lemmy would be a better place without this propaganda.

You weren’t even able to answer their question at all.

How can you criticize and question anything if you just spew the same nonsense when someone questions you?

Yeah, that’s Lemmy - it’s just a bunch of CNN and any time some kind of counterculture thing comes along, everyone freaks the fuck out. Good thing you’re here to be the only one sharing a leftist viewpoint.

started to criticize and question

Okay, I’ve got some questions. This video - who the fuck paid for that studio? That’s not just like an Alex Jones desk, it’s a whole set, and not a cheap one. Who’s his producer? Does he just have Guardian-writer money coming out of his ears and wanted to make his YouTube show extra fancy?

Unrelated question, why does RT give him his own page?

This woman who’s talking - why does she jump around topics so frequently? I legit tried to watch some of your video for a while, but it’s Colombia, then Trump, then Eliot Abrams and Ronald Reagan, and never long enough on any one to make a point. It’s honestly very weird - like it’s not even enough to fully assemble even a general sense that the US is bad. It’s just like an emotional tone of anger and betrayal and secrets being kept from you. But she doesn’t say much of anything.

And why did you post it under this video when she doesn’t say anything about Maduro, as far as I can tell?

Also, why is this not on YouTube? I feel like I know the answer to that one.
