alt Hacker NewsVenezuela is now an American colony, do you not know how colonialism works? Do you need to read a history book?
We're the ones doing the pillaging. We're going to strip them of what resources they have left, take their wealth for ourselves and leave them with nothing. We're going to make the people an underclass in their own country, serving the rich white colonizers who come in to stay at the luxury hotels and casinos Trump will be building there. Or maybe the Saudis, who knows? The world is full of rich vultures. We'll build data centers over the carcasses of their cities and shoot anyone who wants the water. We're going to rape their women and children.
And then we're going to do it to Cuba. And then maybe Mexico.
You’re describing a hypothetical future, and I’m telling you that all that bad stuff has already been done to the Venezuelan people by the Chavistas. About 90% of the population lives in poverty and 50% in extreme poverty. Maduro’s government shot about two dozen people who had the nerve to protest the last election. Violence against women and children doesn’t get much worse.
What incredible privilege you have to be worried about future labor exploitation at yet-to-be-built resort casinos.
