Don’t Confuse Dying for Oil with Dying for Freedom

Okay, we know it’s about oil, but hear me out, What if it was for freedom? Would that make it okay? I think the official justification for the attack is that the US doesn’t recognize Maduro as the winner of the last election and claims that he is running a “narco-state.”

Is that really justification for using military action and taking over a government ourselves? Maybe the US is right about the election and Maduro didn’t win legitimately, but the US didn’t win the election, either. The US is even less legitimate than Maduro ever was.

We all know that this conflict is about oil, but even the justification is an admission of something horrible.

Cars mean 🍔🦅🇺🇸Freedom

Cars need oil.

Ergo oil means freedom.

Is this a meme from 10 years ago? Or 15 years ago? Or 20 years ago? Or 30 years ago?

They will still go “Thank you for your service”.

It’s a country of sick people that revels in violence against minorities and people of color.
