RE: 100.000 STEEM for VENEZUELA
Thoughts and prayers. I went to Venezuela some 15 years ago. Una Paiz marvellosa! I want nothing more than ease, security, humanity and a release from suffering for your wonderful country. I don’t not pretend to know the depths... but wish to send out nothing but love and resilience to Venezuela!
Thank you very much. It is hard to know our reality in depth,even for us. Most likely, as your motto says, it is somewhere between what we think and what others perceive.
One thing is true, though, and thanks to technology now all those statements are out for posterity, there is a cruel reality that the chavistas governments (Chavez's and then Maduro's) have consistently denied to the point of calling those who denounced it disociados (dissociates).
They instituted the term and used it pejoratively every time they wanted to dismiss anyone's claim.
They suffered what I call the Lorax Complex. They speak for the people, the same way the Lorax speaks for the trees. At least the Lorax was actually trying to protect the trees. These guys destroyed the people and then told the survivors, "no, that what you think you see is fake; there are no people eating from garbage, there are no children dying in hospitals...no...no...no. It is the empire's 3rd generation war putting those ideas, even the images, in your head"
@hlezama,
Orwell's, "1984" ... except they seem to modelling that which Orwell was criticizing. The parallels are so striking at times that it actually defies comedic comparison.

Absolutely. They became experts in newspeak adoption and impossition. I regret not to have the time or energy to compile their entire dictionary (trying once some time ago actually drained my spirit). The level of absurdity and cynicism defies any stomach. Machiavelli's The Prince is another favorite of them. The funny thing is they would never allow an educational institution under their control to read and discuss such texts.
