Mamdani and AOC are spotted laughing with each other as people cry while the names of those who died are read during the 9/11 Memorial in New York City.
It’s telling that @ZackPolanski’s immediate instinct was to sympathise with the alleged terrorist and attack our brave police officers - who did an outstanding job.
He is deeply anti-British.
I don’t have a problem with him dancing - it’s the delusional, nonsensical, undeliverable, unaffordable policies that I object to.
If you tax billionaires they will leave.
If you tax private jets they will fly from/to somewhere else.
If you nationalise private industries, taxpayers will have to pay for that and the interest on the debt.
If confiscate private businesses no sensible investors/entrepreneurs will ever invest in the UK.
If you impose rent controls you’ll see a reduction in supply and more homelessness.
The remaining taxpayers who can’t or don’t want to leave will face exorbitant levels of tax/inflation totally out of control.
We’d be an economic basket case within months.
If trump got kidnapped today there wouldn't be a single far leftist mfer on planet earth to cry about international law. You guys would be partying harder than the Venezuelans. You guys laughed at the assassination attempt and at a literal assassination. Shut the fuck up LOL
Sentiments of Venezuelans
I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.
If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing
Then shut the fuck up.
You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.
I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.
This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.
Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.
My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.
Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.
And everything died.
Not slowly.
Violently.
People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.
They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.
People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.
They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.
So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”
No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.
China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.
They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.
If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity
Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.
Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.
This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.
Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.
If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation
Then again
Shut the fuck up.
This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

@BoveFromAbove Probably something to do with the fact that farage has been the most influential British politician in the last 15 years and just look at reforms polling- consistently 30%+
@ZackPolanski@TheGreenParty Stop being so selective with your outrage, they also reported on the green's membership surpassing the Tories. Only highlighting something when it suits your narrative 🙄🙄
