  • I’m sure there’s a lot of different “factions” opposing Maduro, surely many of them on the actual left, but somehow she comes out on top.

    The US’s past and present in South America is quite telling imho. The current administration have made their intentions clear - as opposed to previous administrations who were more diplomatic and secretive, but the goal is ultimately the same.

    As for your 2, with all due respect that’s not what I was suggesting. Machado is just a pawn, I’m not saying she manifested this. Now if you think that’s bs, that’s cool, whatever. To me it’s pretty obvious.


  • I don’t think you can call the USA’s efforts to undermine South America’s governments a conspiracy at this point. It’s well documented that over the years the CIA have done everything they can to control the region. In this episode of the ongoing South American telenovela, DT wanted the Nobel peace prize. There was no reason to give it to him so instead someone smarter used the US leverage over the committee to create a narrative where the US backed opposition would get some legitimacy and global recognition so that the upcoming coup wouldn’t taste so bad.









  • Lived in Germany for years and had all of these. Love mettbrötchen, krustenbraten etc etc. BUT. I believe Germans don’t prioritize food. They will eat any cheap shit and save the money for beer. In the office a bunch of people - mainly foreigners - got together and arranged for a restaurant to be bringing food every day for a relatively cheap price. It was great. But most Germans would still prefer to go to Lidl and eat canned pasta for lunch. It’s not that they couldn’t afford it. They just didn’t want to spend €8 for food every day. Canned pasta and Birckenstock with white socks dude. Every day.








  • You are desperately deflecting from the fact that you assumed OP’s gender. How about we start with that acknowledgement and move on from there. If you like we can dissect every little facet of this silly post we’re arguing over. Imho - and given that you already judged me so harshly - here’s some back. You seem to have some issues with men, you appear to be looking for abusers everywhere, probably from past trauma. Once again, I’m terribly sorry for whatever may have happened to you, but it’s affecting your judgment in a terrible way and it makes you seem toxic. I hope you’re aware and working on that. I’m sure you can overcome it if you acknowledge it.



  • Look if I were to guess I’d say most probably she never said anything of the kind, and that’s just the op making his otherwise dull question a little spicy for the people to get involved.

    But if you take the post at face value and set aside all your biases, you have to agree that this sounds kinda bitchy and entitled. Truth is we don’t know anything about the situation, so we can only go with what op gave us. We don’t know if he’s the owner or just renting, what country he’s in, or even if he’s a he btw.

    From what was said alone, the question that I have is why is it op’s responsibility to do something about it. Seems like a household problem that op didn’t cause and one that if she lived alone she would have to deal with somehow. So asking someone else to fix it and setting ultimatums sounds like someone who’s used to having servants.
