And not the common, temporary kind of sadness. It made me sad for this country's future. Chavez came into power selling himself with fancy wordwork, calling himself a socialist, and making promises about empowering the less fortunate. What he actually did was steal from everyone, keep away foreign interaction except that beneficial to him, and keep the poor under his thumb by handing out scraps of food and other goods as though he was helping them, or as if it was enough..

Not stealing from the rich to feed "lazy people" and the like, on top of blindly praising right-wing economics and countries that follow such models, giving praise to the USA for "giving them opportunities to escape poverty" while using that as an example of "why socialism/communism [yes, the usage of them as though they were one is common here] doesn't work and will never work".

It didn't make me angry. Instead, I felt a really deep sadness.[Tobecontinued]

I haven't had a place to rant about this that wasn't a chat platform so, here goes.

The few times I go on Twitter recently and find comments by fellow Venezuelans who have left or want to leave, I almost always see scathing criticism of left-wing politics, and in particular socialism and communism. Usually the same arguments I see made by right-wingers from the first world online, blah blah not letting lazy people leech off their hard work blah[to be continued]

I need a real life tbh

Oh yeah. Hi! I'm Froyo, as of this post 20 years young! I'm Venezuelan, very much mixed, pansexual/panromantic and some kind of as of yet undetermined non-binary (I'm comfortable with all pronouns so dun worry about that :3)

I spend my time shitposting on Discord chats, playing video games, with my cats and other nerd shit. I love coffee. I'm also currently studying petroleum engineering but I want to switch to environmental engineering :0 Many interests, little energy. #introductions

RANDOM THOUGHTS ON LANGUAGE NOBODY ASKED FOR

Honestly I will poop on English as a horrible language whenever it comes up

But reee, Spanish can stand to learn how to be gender neutral without using masculine nouns as default *and* stop gendering everything and everyone >_>
