MediaLens: 40,000 Dead Venezuelans Under US Sanctions: Corporate Media Turn A Blind Eye
Note how Professional Resistance Fighting Latte Sippers are as one with the Trumpian neocon maniacs on Venezuela. As one. The imperial narcissism runs very deep, at least in our elite.
Back in the real world, this is sort of relevant, and, no, it doesn't mean that "Maduro is the best" to, like, fucking note it.
I'm sorry I have to pause and make this comment all the time, but I have many deeply educated latte-sippers who are very good at saying, as patronizingly as possible, "Of course, silly, I don't ever reduce complex issues to mutually exclusive binary options expressed as emotionally potent oversimplifications designed to manufacture consent. I'm sophisticated! I can't be fooled: look at my degrees; look at my resumes! I watch TED talks!"
Well, QED. So, if you're not for regime change, you're a Putin stooge BernieBro who wants to bring Maduran Stalinism to the USA to help Trump win so let's back Trump on regime change--here, Iran, wherever! You're so stupid, Doug. Fucking retarded professional leftist. Pfft.
And so on. It'll never end. Unlike Sachs, actually, who did admit he was wrong with his neoliberal bullshit that he exported all over the world, notably post-Soviet Russia, and who has been making up for that for decades. Sure, he can't hang out with the same cocktail-partiers, but he apparently and rightly doesn't give a fuck. Now he's on board with the Progressive International.
He has integrity. Most latte-sippers do not; they are dedicated to self-aggrandizement and -glorification. Almost entirely unearned, mind you; dupes can't analyze or plan. They're chess pieces for others; tools; useful idiots. That's all.
Read about this on MediaLens; here's the actual report (linked); and here's Sachs, who clearly made it all up, world-class economist that he is, talking about it on Democracy Now, one of the few places you'll find this information:
