Olvidemos cualquier opinión que tengas sobre Maduro y el chavismo: si ves una ciudad latinoamericana bombardeada por fuerzas estadounidenses y te parece celebrable tenés un nivel peligroso de imbecilidad.
No hay derecho internacional que alcance, ni norma alguna que contenga. Estados Unidos es una nación decadente, moral y estéticamente repudiable; apreciada solo por los pobres de espíritu fascinados por la riqueza, la performativa ostentosa estadounidense.
Latin American countries opposed to US imperialism should impose a travel ban on Americans and sanction rich yanks living there. The American middle class is too accustomed to the warmongering of their politicians having no impact on their treat-filled lives. Make it real
This video is a microcosm of how October 7 has been discussed and deliberately misframed.
If the Palestinian man had reacted at all, even in basic self-defense, the Israeli would’ve shot him on the spot and faced little to no consequence. That asymmetry is the operating reality; it’s not hypothetical.
What this footage captures is only a drop in an ocean of violence Palestinians have been subjected to for nearly eight decades. Yet when October 7 happened, the focus wasn’t on the daily, structural violence that preceded it (the settler who runs someone over, the soldier who humiliates, or the system that enables it all). Instead, the focus was placed squarely on the Palestinian who reacts, as if reaction exists in a vacuum.
That’s what this video exposes. One side’s permitted to brutalize, terrorize, and endanger lives in full view of the world, while the other’s expected to endure it quietly. If they don’t, they’re killed and then blamed for their own death.
This is the first time a FIFA Peace Prize laureate has ever ordered a naval blockade, of a nation with more than 3,000 miles of land borders, for allegedly stealing its own oil reserves. Truly historic.
