Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.
flandish@lemmy.world 5 days agoi’m saying thanks to the power dynamic here (think: “exploitation or stuff HR would frown at…”) - the dynamic existing means the folks cheering in the street cannot be considered truly cheering. it can only be considered, at best, an example of consent being manufactured thanks to that ICE enforced power dynamic. 😬

And you would be wrong. Those Venezuelans cheering are honestly and extremely happy that Maduro is gone. They were the first ones to leave Venezuela when Chavez came into power.

right. and i am glad working class people are happy. but that does not take away from the power dynamic that should not exist to begin with and should be abolished anyway.
the point is - we would feel for them more if the US did not behave the way it does. i don’t like or want dictators- Maduro and Trump alike.
the US should NOT try to police the world.

Working class. Lol.
Anyway. You didn’t answer my last question, and you deviated from the topic. So you might either be an armchair warrior, or a bot. You might not, and you may have some vindication if you answer my question.
