good point. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the whole point of pride is to exist the way we want to, including how we interact with our identity

this was extremely helpful, thank you! You know how everyone experiences autism differently? Well, interpersonal stuff is an endless void for me.
However, it’s geographically improbable
I’m… gonna… Ge-
Excuse you, that’s rude.
relatable. Maybe that’s why I haven’t finish moving in for over 2 months
For me, it’s the goober that somehow took over the entire bed
Once a kitten always a kitten
Oh snap, now US cops are going to overdose by looking at it
A maid shortage? Here’s a novel idea, clean your own damn house. If you can’t do that, maybe you need a smaller house.
For folks like me that were curious, yes it’s Peter Thiel.
Yea I’m sure those 10 thousand children were a real threat to Israel.
The conversation drifted to theory rather than current conditions, so I chose to go in the direction of my idealized version of what this framework would look like. You’re right, as an ML nation there is still a centralization of power in Venezuela. I don’t have the answers for Venezuela, only the people of Venezuela do. However, I think the court made the right decision on behalf of the people, even if I disagree with the undemocratic nature of their courts.
The system can be made robust though. Implementation is also important, and I’m just one person so I’m not going create that framework for an Internet discussion. The question that the framework should rely on power: is the candidate advocating for a distribution of power, or a centralization of power? Privatization seeks to centralize power, for example.
I can make reductionist arguments too:
Okay, so you believe it was a good thing that Hitler was elected.
I don’t think a democratic process should be limited to only banning people that broke the law. Someone that intentionally wants to harm people through excessive austerity like Machado and Milei shouldn’t be able to run.
Remember, Hitler was elected. If a democratic process can’t stop a person like that from running, then the democratic process is failed.
I’m not saying I support Moduro, only that I think this is a decision that will protect the most vulnerable people from aggressive and brutal privatization. There are some pretty good parties in the opposition, but Come Venezuela should not be allowed. It would be disastrous for an already struggling country.
Ok. So here’s the situation then. In the US, a person that shouldn’t be eligible for candidacy is not only running, but leading the Republican primary. In Venezuela, a person that would similarly harm their country is banned from running.
Should Trump be barred from running?
She wants to privatize huge swathes of the Venezuelan government and wants a Milei style capitalist “shock therapy”. She’s on record not only stating that helping poor people is bad, but defends the statement. She’d make a bad situation for the Venezuelan people far, far worse. Of fucking course she should be barred from running. The US should stop intervening in South America.
So glad this history is getting known
