a joint US-Bolivian police operation to kidnap a former president. Workers seizing an airport to stop American planes from landing. And the Western media is barely whispering about it.
It’s really frustrating to watch how people keep talking about how you just have to vote harder, when we can see a concrete example of how workers actually take power in Bolivia.
The mass delusion makes me feel like I’m in a zombie movie. Like I’ve explained it, countless times through history we’ve fought this battle. It always goes the same way. Yet they still think they can vote their way out of this.
Agreed. They don’t want the treats to stop flowing; it’s an addiction at this point. So many people around me aren’t even willing to boycott, which I view as the barest minimum involvement at this point. Anything that threatens their comforts is summarily dismissed out of hand. For a lot of people, that level of consumption is not going to be sustainable as prices rise without a simultaneous increase in wages. We’ll see what happens if gas prices hit $10 per gallon; I’m expecting the price to start skyrocketing as the supply chain catches up to the shortage.

I’ve given up on the western left.

You can’t even get the biggest Lemmy instance users to question Zionazi moderator narratives and motivations.
