This just in: socialism is a pretty shitty thing to do to your citizens, imo. Outcome: totally predictable.
This just in: Venezuelans have increased their daily caloric intake by over 55% since the beginning of the Bolivarian Revolution in 1998. Socialism is a really awesome thing for the people to do for themselves. Outcome: capitalists throw a temper tantrum, Hugo is reelected with a substantial majority.
ANTI-CHAVEZ PROPAGANDA IS SO F’NG LAZY.
This is consistently my favourite scene of Chris Morris’ brilliantly funny, but heart-wrenchingly sad Four Lions. The recent-era nostalgia of that damn catchy song and all the boys’ roadtripping joy…laced with the painful poignancy of the fact that they’re driving somewhere to blow themselves up.
