lol if you think Venezuela is not a dictatorship.
True.. thankfully the glorious US bombed those undemocratic dictator fishing ships and invaded their country to righteously kidnap their undemocratically un-elected president and his heinous wife while killing people.
Now it gets to be a true democracy! Where their country starts going through liberalization and worsening social nets as their future is sold off to private sectors. Truly no longer a dictatorship.
2 bads don't make 1 good.
The two bads you're lumping together are mass murder and "a disreputable source didn't like how you ran that election"
Actual harm versus theoretical harm at some point in the future to a non material concept
You're deranged
And that's not even getting into the fact that the non-harm you elevate was used as justification to commit the mass murders you diminish.
Psycho.
I was pointing out the logical fallace in claiming Venezuela is not a dictotarship just because US is a horrible country.
Oh okay so you were just ignoring how the outside world is the context for this conversation.
So you're just a fundamentally dishonest and unserious person. And you're actively defending the side the murders in the hundreds while attacking the side getting murdered.
