Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you that I am (remembers that transphobes are present) extremely cis (feels bad for lying) but anything could happen (too vague) and I also like girls kissing.

Saw this on the r/AskVenezuela subreddit recently. I know nobody cares for my takes, but this was so good I can't help but share it

For 27 years, Venezuelans tried every democratic path to remove an authoritarian regime. Elections were stolen. Courts, media, and institutions were dismantled. Peaceful protests were met with bullets, hundreds killed, thousands jailed, tortured, or disappeared. An unarmed civilian population cannot overthrow a state that controls the military and arms criminal gangs. Internal change became impossible.

What’s striking is how many Americans suddenly claim concern for Venezuela’s sovereignty, oil, and democracy, and where that concern was while the regime executed dissidents, shut down media, used hunger and medicine as weapons, gave subsidized oil to Russia, Iran, China, and Cuba, expropriated assets, and drove 7+ million people into exile.

Venezuela was already intervened. Just not by the U.S. Authoritarian powers looted resources and trained repression, leaving people poorer and less free. Anti-imperialism that ignores this reality isn’t solidarity, it’s selective outrage.

Stop hiding behind “legality.” Atrocities can be legal. That doesn’t make them moral. We don’t judge the defeat of Nazis by whether it respected sovereignty, we judge it by whether it stopped mass oppression. Morality matters more than ideological purity.

Here’s the contradiction:

Americans chant “Hands off Venezuela” in New York while Venezuelans celebrate in the streets because a dictator is finally gone. Privileged people in the freest country on earth are outraged over the removal of Nicolás Maduro, a man who stole elections, jailed opponents, censored media, aligned with authoritarian regimes, and collapsed a nation.

They call Donald Trump a “dictator” for removing an actual dictator.

They chant “democracy” while defending a regime that abolished it.

They say “Venezuela in our hearts” while ignoring Venezuelans begging for help for decades.

That isn’t principled protest. It’s ideological reflex.

Only Venezuelans get to decide what freedom is worth. If the price is oil, so be it. Respect the sovereignty you claim to defend by listening to the people who lived without it.

If activism requires silencing the people who are suffering, it isn’t moral—it’s performative.

also, what is the timelines of the fic year-wise?

the recent one?

eh, i made it a little ambiguous because i didn't want to get caught up in it, but it's 2015 or so (since they get together before alex is 30) to present day (whether you take that as the car or the thug he is now, is up to you).
