The usa once again goes to war for resources and empire and all you hear yanks say is how it will affect them and not the millions of people who will be directly affected in South America. Death to the USA. May the Venezuelans send a rithteous blow against the aggression of the empire.

I just got this text from my mom “Finally the regime in Venezuela is down. Maduro and wife are in the possession of the USA government.” And my response out loud was “damn, you’re really dumb”.

Woman, do you not understand that they don’t care about the humans in Venezuela? They only want the oil.

“But Maduro was just giving it away.”

And this dude is just gonna fucking TAKE it!

He’s going to do to Venezuela what the Middle East didn’t allow. Because Venezuela is the Middle East of the western hemisphere.

He’s going to pillage Venezuela for every single drop it’s worth and then toss it back down into the depths of the Earth’s core the moment it stops being useful for his friends.

And the people will continue to not find anything in the stores. And the people will continue to not have jobs. And the people will continue to not have money. And the people will continue to not have food. And more people will not have even a tin roof over their heads. And the people will continue to not have access to medical attention and medicines. And exponentially more people will die.

Especially the moment Venezuela tries to fight to keep their oil.

IF they fight to keep their oil. IF MCM didn’t already sell out Venezuela’s wealth for her own personal power. And IF she didn’t? And IF she does continue to fight FOR Venezuela not just for herself? The American Regime will simply place a new figurehead in Venezuela that will allow them to do what they want. And discard MCM the moment she stops cooperating with the American Regime.

a galera tem que lembrar que estadunidense só pensa em estadunidense em primeiro, segundo, terceiro, quarto e quinto lugar E SE SOBRAR TEMPO, PENSA EM ESTADUNIDENSE DENOVO

English translation of the rude Brazilian that ASSUMED this post was done by an American that loves America and is too much of a coward to allow people to tag them in posts: “People have to remember that Americans only think of Americans in first, second, third, fourth and fifth place AND IF THERE IS TIME LEFT, THINK OF AMERICAN AGAIN”

First, the Internet reaches most of planet Earth (if not all), not just the US or the western hemisphere.

Second, “Venezuela” was said 9 times up there, “USA/America” was said 3 times up there.

Third, what part of that sounded like I give a fuck about what the US wants and Venezuela is not my priority? I’ll wait.

The Trump administration has illegally airstriked Venezuela and has taken the president! it’s not looking great gamers

“Well Nicolás Maduro is a dictator so why is this bad”, WELL informing the fact that it is illegal. This is not out of the goodness of Trumps heart.

We want oil and to forcefully change the regime and put in someone who will have our best interests at heart.

If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:

The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend.

The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do.

The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder.

The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying.

The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.

Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order.

The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you.

If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today.

You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them.

The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.

Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources.

Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job.

Veterans' benefits suck these days.

Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones.

The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer.

The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting.

A lot can change in four years.

Me at work telling my coworkers I’m going to fight them when they tell me they worked from home last night without being on the clock. And 6 hours later my manager is trying to make a joke out of her complaining that “everything is always about money with you” when I get asked to use a skill that is not part of the employee title package that they are barely paying me hourly for. My response without missing a beat was “absolutely, because my time and skills are valuable, you can always ask somebody else to do it if you feel like I’m not worth it :)”

I may not like you as a “superior” and don’t care about you as a person, but I do still believe you are worth something to someone for something—not me, but someone.

A reminder

[teaboot]

Not pertinent to anything in particular but I do think it's kinda weird that we keep depicting cavemen in media crawling around on all fours covered in dirt with tangled, matted hair, speaking in broken, cobbled-together toddler language when like.

They were us.

Like literally genetically they were US, just like. A while ago.

Like

Would you trust a TV caveman with a baby? Probably not

A real life caveman though??? I think they'd be at least okay at it

[sheilikhal]

This is actually really important and comes up in Anthropology classes all. The. Time.

As long as homo sapiens have existed, we have had the same emotional and mental capacity as you and I do today. You nailed it. They were US. Even Neaderthals existed alongside and had offspring with Homo Sapiens for many thousands of years.

There's much evidence that cavemen would have had complex spoken language, culture (learned information passed down), symbolic interpretation, and I think they most certainly would have been able to handle holding a baby. In fact I have my suspicisions that an ancient homo sapiens mother may be a more present, attentive, and knowledgable mom than I could be today.

Do not let media trick you into believing we are the pinnacle of humanity. Unilinial evolution theory (google it quick I beg) is BUNK, GARBAGE, and the root of so much evil.

We've been human for a long, long time, and we are not inherently better than all those who came before.

One the most profound experiences of my life was visiting Font de Gaume, which has 12 thousand year old paintings. They use a technique where the horses appeared to run across the wall when seen in flickering firelight. There was a bison the wall staring at us with such attitude, I could practically hear him. I had the most profound feeling of those ancient artists reaching forward to lay their hands on my shoulders. To say, "This was my world." It was a profoundly moving experience.

Some years later, I went to the Orkney islands where we visited a tiny family run museum of artifacts from the chambered tomb at the other end of the farm. They handed me a pestle once held by some neolithci human.They'd worn groves where the thumb and forefinger would be for better grip.

[cymbie8]

One time, in a French history class, my teacher randomly at the end of the class had all of us draw a sketch of a horse. And we were all like ??? Okay???

At the beginning of the next class, my teacher showed us a cave painting of a horse. And then he showed all of our horses, which he had scanned and put into the presentation.

He then pointed out all the ways that our horses looked similar to the prehistoric horse. Same features, drawn from the same angle, etc.

And then he asked us, "Isn't it cool that you draw horses the same way as someone who lived 20,000 years ago?"

Yeah. That stuck with me for a while.

Love that news rooms all over the country today are printing out a bunch of fully black pages to demonstrate on camera just how overly redacted the Epstein files are

[what-even-is-thiss]

Listen. Listen. I knew that it would be heavily redacted. I didn’t know that it would be this hilariously bad.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I randomly clicked through some of them because there’s thousands of pages and I ain’t reading all of that but even with my random clicking I found a document that was just 55 pages of black.

I also found a picture of bill Clinton in a hot tub but I’d rather not remember that one.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Can we impeach him over this somehow? Can we go for a round three on that?

If anyone is wondering where we are on a scale of 1 to fucked, Weird Al Yankovic just did a full cover of Rage Against the Machine - Killing In the Name

In this man's 46 year long career, through everything, he has NEVER spoken about politics. He has NEVER spoken harshly to anyone. He has NEVER performed songs with heavy swearing or forceful lyrics. This man guest starred on My Little Pony as "Cheese Sandwich," the only other party pony as fun as Pinkie Pie!

When THIS man stops laughing, we are in trouble.

[aleprouswitch]

Seeing Weird Al screaming "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME" with his whole chest, zero comedy, really is like seeing the nicest person you know finally snap because everything around him is so fucked up and horrible. I've always respected Weird Al as an artist and as a person, and this has only upped my respect for him.
