I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

During WW2 my grandparents lived a few villages away from a concentration camp. All those people in those villages and cities knew about it. They openly talked about it, like you do about wars and genocides your government perpetrates around the globe... but never did anything out of fear. After the war they all lied about not knowing what was happening in their neighborhood. Because they were afraid.

There is no worthy solidarity if you all are scared. Talk is cheap. The rest of the world has seen your complacency with the atrocities of both of your governments around the world for decades now. Trust me no one expects anything from US citizenry... just organize another Woodstock or some other dumb shit that does absolutely nothing to prevent anything and sleep well my little oppressed american communities.
