Venezuela used to have the 5th highest GDP per capita before they embraced identity politics and socialism over merit and capitalism

I just watched a video on Bitchute, conversation between the host and a hardworking Venezuelan man in Oklahoma who has lived in the US since he fled the early months of Hugo Chavez. He said the first thing Chavez did was round up the guns then described how quickly the living conditions deteriorated; shortages of everything, crime, and currency debasement.

I was just going to repost it here /but it's gone from bitchute. Vanished when I hit the refresh button and I can't remember the name of the channel. Here's the URL - https://www.bitchute.com/video/nZh4neJp6Fxb/

What's up at bitchute?

Bitchute has been working with UK censorship groups like "Hope not Hate", so they are totally untrustworthy. I would suggest uploading videos on something like odysee or another site instead.

And instead of just rounding up the guns, first they need to control people's freedom of movement. America has too many guns to just try and take them outright. Preventing movement will be done under guise of safety like they have been trying with the wuhan virus, by taking away people's ability to use older cars even if they're maintained, and to try and remove gasoline cars entirely for the sake of "environmentalism". The end goal is to prevent people from being able to go from city to city without approval from the government. Once that happens then the gun grabs and other authoritarian measures would really start.

Between electricity shortages and fuel shortages, exploding food and supply costs, and war in the middle east, how long can more moderate leftists pretend that their radicals aren't deliberately destroying the country?

"Moderate" leftists are as complicit as their "radical" members. One is enabling the evil that we're up against. I don't give two flying fucks about "rational" or "moderate" anymore. They're all scumbags that should be treated as such.

Moderate leftists are more affected by things like fuel shortages than their radical counterparts, many of whom don't drive or work for a living. You are right, though, that the moderates will justify any deprivation as being for the cause.

Their delusion will persist well after this country is a smoking crater.

Up to the point they're the ones against the wall. For many, even after that.

How long? Solzhenitsyn wrote about ardent Communists who were there in the gulag with him. They were convinced that their imprisonment was a big mistake, and they would be released with an apology.

How long? You'd be amazed at how much suffering people can tolerate. Stupid people on both sides and even ones that don't know any sides will bring this country down. We're going back to the days of slavery, slowly. A subtle slavery to come.

When there was massive starvation and death in Soviet USSR, that didn't apply to everyone. Those in the inner circles lived far better than those outside them. They still lived worse than the USA at the time, but they were comparatively better, which to psychopaths like themselves, was sufficient. They worked for the government specifically to destroy the lives of everyone else, just so they could feel superior.

Oh, this has nothing to do with the journalists here, nothing at all. Just a random fact.

This is actually what happened with Walter Duranty from The New York Times. Being that he was an agent of the Soviets, he invited other journalists to his Moscow penthouse during the De-Kulakization famines. They weren't in Ukraine, they saw tons of food, Walter had been reporting and working out of the Soviet Union for years, and it confirmed their bias.

When someone tried to point out what the USSR had been doing, they were labeled as delusional or propagandists.

Now consider the inverse when Kruschev came to America, ordered his convoy be stopped in some random town, went into the grocery store, and found the shelves absolutely filled with food. He couldn't fucking believe that the Americans had accomplished what the Stalin had to lie about by using Duranty.

The sight of the quantity of food in the West was a very popular "trigger" for those who decided to seek asylum while allowed to tour the West (as with athletes or the ballet, for instance.)

All creatures will follow their stomachs in the end. It's not "hearts and minds" you want to win. Win their stomachs, and you'll have both of those in no time.

That was Yeltsin, I believe, but same effect.

They actually both did it. Yeltsin did it in public, and IIRC, Kruschev did it in private.

What's that, peasant... I mean citizen? You expect the Totally Trustworthy Propogan... I mean Journalist class to accurately cover what's happening and to think about how it impact you personally? What about being on the Right Side of History? You want to be on the Right Side of History, yes?

Wait a second, I didn't know Chavez canceled pipelines. I thought there were oil shortages and the economy tanked because it was too dependent on oil. But it was by design? WTF

He also confiscated the refineries, extraction, processing operations etc and handed them over to the “proletariat” who had no idea how to run them and they all fell apart.

He did the same thing with every other industry. For example, there was a thriving Buffalo cheese industry in Venezuela prior to Chavez. It doesn’t exist anymore - all the thousands of animals are dead.

Lmao this administration is a joke. Legit feel like I’m living in a Robin Hood time watching Prince John try to drain me of every penny and waiting for the Richard Lion Heart to come back.

Hi glowies, I’m back.

I see our country is as ineffectual, leaderless and hopeless as we were when the election was stolen.

Cool.
