A boring dystopia?? BORING!?

This shit is exciting as fuck. This is stuff that will appear in a YouTube animated history video twenty years from now.

Why is this in this community? I feel like I'm missing something.

Imperial coups are dystopian but also normalized to the point of boredom. Barely covered in the MSM.

Which coup are you referring to? The one by Maduro, where he's refusing to release the tallies, despite the opposition saying that they have access to 80% of them, and it was a landslide loss for Maduro? Or are you calling it a coup when the US recognizes the opposition as having won, when that's the way it appears to actually be?

If Maduro won, fine, he can release the actual tallies. But when the vote counting group is under his thumb, as are the courts, and they're not releasing any real evidence and are just saying, "trust me, bro", well, it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in the results. It inspires even less when the vote-monitoring org that he invited in says that it wasn't free or fair.

Opposite of boring dystopia, what Maduro did is not even borderline, it is outright a crime US recognizing González instead of Maduro is just the right thing to do

Boring utopia for Venezuelans

Surely the people who lied to us about Israel for the last sixty years won't lie to us about another country, right?

Right?
