Mali and Burkina Faso banned Americans a few days ago. What with Maduro's kidnapping, it looks like that decision payed off in more ways than they might have anticipated!

Good. Fuck America. No one should trust us.

    I love this comment. It's like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it's said so unironically makes it better.

    The fact that that user recognises themselves as part of the country that has been nothing but a cancer in the world, and dislikes it, is already a lot and should be praised. They overcame the propaganda and used their minds and hearts to examine the world. 👍

    We appreciate it, but it materially doesn't help us outside of the US and it also doesn't help y'all inside either

    Better than nothing and much better than the opposite, but that's fair.

    You're too negative. You have a country full of people who think it's okay to carpet bomb and pillage foreign nations because MURRICAFUCKYEAH, anyone who has fought against the indoctrination and thought just enough not to go straight to Hell has certainly done... something. Can't expect everyone to go full John Brown.

    Yeah but don't let them weasel out of this shit again. Americans breaking their conditioning is good, but the vast VAST majority of american leftists will think thats good enough and stop. They love to operate on their little feelys and feel goods as if akin to action.

    This shows they haven't really broken the conditioning that much.

    Good job recognizing you are fucking evil, now what actions will you take besides voting for a fucking democrat?

    No he doesn't. You still protests, and people having their rights. He wants to declare martial law and with it, congress looses all power, the courts loose all power and he becomes a literal king. Once this happens, all hope will forever be lost

    Still hoping votes can make a difference this year. Not ready to Luigi anybody.

    Votes aren't going to do shit for imperialism, that's bipartisan. You also don't need to Luigi people. Instead, you can organize in real life with a socialist party, and if the conditions for revolution arise, take part in that.

    Luigi is easy to understand. Voting is easy to understand. When people say "organize in real life" what exactly do you mean? Picnics?

    I understand this rhetoric, but one extremely effective way of changing people’s opinions and broadening their world view is travel. Banning people from the US from traveling will only result in more insulation and “othering”.

    That said, American tourists are 👏the 👏worst (I say as an American). We should act like what we are: guests. I’ve had the privilege to travel to five nations that don’t speak English as their native language and have learned my P’s and Q’s every time and it’s always paid off. I speak the language terribly, but I’m at least willing to try.

    I get where you are coming from, but I think the only way to get through to the goddamned, thick skulled, toddler brained populace of the us, is to take their fucking toys away.

    Don't allow them to travel to other countries. Economically sanction them and make burger price go up. For the love of god get the all military and all us bases out of your country.

    The us should be shunned and rot in rhe mess they made for themselves while the world builds solidarity and cooperates. Twisted fucks can learn appreciation for the world by experiencing being cut off from it.

    Do you say the same for Russians since their leader is engaged in a hostile takeover of a sovereign nation?

    Wars should be unequivocally opposed but why don't you check out the wikipedia page for "United States Intervention in Latin America". But hey thata just lat am, why not checkout the page for SE asia, or the middle east, or hell look at all those outstanding promisea you made to ukraine that you love so much.

    You might start to see a pattern with the US, that no other country comes even close too. Twisted evil country of psychopaths.

    Do you think US spies just walk in and announce themselves as spies? Are you unaware of the long tradition of using US embassies to plan and carry out coups? It may seem extreme but it's not unwarranted considering they just had a coup attempt by a western puppet.

    There was also a US spy in Maduro's entourage from what I hear, so totally reasonable.

    Seems that's a PsyOp for now. Be very skeptical of these kinds of claims for the next while, better information will come out confirming or denying it.

    Yea, if it's from the NYT 99% it's a psyop.

    Tbf I really don't trust any corporate MSM, regardless whether USA or any place else. In fact I'm just about beyond trusting any media, for that matter. None of us knows Jack Smack, unless we get it from each other on the ground in the area, and that's filtered through a personal perception, complete with our own blind spots. But I'll give it a listen later.

    It's good to distrust, but ultimately we need to develop media literacy and dive into the media to find out what's actually going on. A lot of news is either minimizing or exaggerating real events, so there is usually some truth (though not always, like I think with the NYT bit here).

    I think it starts around the 4 minute mark where they talk about the CIA having a spy/informant.
