    I just point out all the people supporting regime change in Venezuela are the same people who supported genocide in Gaza and they want it for mostly the same reasons.

    “You can never ever trick me to be on the same side as genociders again, you tried to use morals to take over and control the people of gaza and you’re trying to use morals to take over and control the people of Venezuela, you’re not moral beings you’re shameless liars.” is compelling and causes people unsure of the situation to doubt them.

    Nobody has forgotten how much these people lied and lied and lied with regards to Israel. Connect the lies together and people will start to reject the new lies.

      That’s essentially how class consciousness begins. Liberals claim to support every single liberation movement - except the current one. Claim to condemn every single imperialist war - except the current one. Claim to be against sanctions - except the current ones, and so on. They’ll support the official Western imperialist narrative until every last defense mechanism of the narrative crumbles, and that’s what happened with Palestine and the Zionist entity. We’re in an era where these official narratives are being exhausted more than ever.

        That’s a good point did she publicly state her opinion on Israel? Fucking easy win with a lot of people “She supported genociding palestinians” is a red line for moral human beings now. Almost anyone in the UK that supports palestine will reject anyone who opposed it.

        This whole shit is easy to muddy with people that aren’t familiar with the region that much either. “Maduro is pretty much the same as Sheinbaum and Lula, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela really aren’t that different, they have the same regional problems and they’re governed similarly by all of these leaders, with very similar electoral systems. The difference with Venezuela vs these other two is that the US sees strategic value in overthrowing them and using their resources.”

        Link together the places that people currently don’t have negative opinions about with the one that’s the current propaganda narrative and join together the similarities between them. It cuts through people’s lack of knowledge. Most of the anti-Venezuela propaganda relies upon people’s lack of knowledge, this can be exploited from the left just as easily from the right by just hooking into what people already do know about other places in the region. People will mentally borrow their opinion from Mexico/Brazil/Cuba/etc if you link them up, if people already have a positive opinion of the governance and policies in those places then they’ll bleed them together when you start putting them in the same brain compartments.
