Yes, We're Back at this!

"I'd like to start by saying that if you still sympathize with the Government in Venezuela, the least you can expect from me is a middle finger all the time. If the wires in my brain short circuit, run. You might get an axe to your head! Don't worry, I know it's empty!"

Hello there, my Hive friends!

It's been more than a year since I last came around to spit my cup of poison and talk about the bad side of life. I remember some people told me I had to accept the bad thing and don't complain so much. I understand the idea behind this. Being thankful is a great way to bolster positivity in your life and that whole lot of new age rubbish. But what do you do when things aren't good? Is it right to play pretend? Is it okay to stay quite and accept the spoonful of sh*t life is sending towards your mouth?

Complaining doesn't solve anything, but to my understanding venting out these things is part of the therapeutic approach to not being engulfed by stress.

It might not be a surprise that after another weird results at Presidential elections on July 28th, Venezuela woke up to another time of conflict. Much is yet to be resolved as we are waiting for proof from the State for their alleged victory. Evidence shows they lost, but why would they accept? I mean they have done a lot to be become the quintessential Fascist State of the region. Having all that power, blood and who knows what other dirty secrets on their hands, they have to choice but try to hold the throne for as long as they can.

The previous state of Pax Bodega (this is a funny term to refer to the relatively peaceful situation that's been going on since the last conflicts in 2017) has been broken. People are out in the streets trying to make things right. The opposition to the Government seems to be as tight as it has ever been.

However, this hasn't stopped the parallel groups funded by the ones in power to do their biding. People have been killed; others, detained. There are some missing. Something is brewing as the messages from both sides keep coming back and forth. Many of the International witnesses for the election have already said the don't believe in the "official" results. And we are still waiting for the Government to show actual proof of their victory.

The clock is ticking and as they take their sweet time to give an answer more pressure builds on themselves. Do any of the guys who claimed to be socialists had happy endings? Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Castro, Chávez. Maybe the ones on the ruling parlor nowadays will join these motherfuckers.

On the midst of these events, I want to remind myself of the joke I told many years ago while I was still in college. It goes something like this:

Save all the printings from the Government's propaganda machine. Save them for me. Once this shit is over, I'll take all of these pieces of crap. I'll stuff it at the Mausoleum they made for the biggest son of a bitch this country has ever brought up. And it will burn tall until they place is reduced to rubble and the mummy in display is reduced to ashes.

I stand by it to this day. Hell, I even wrote a story about it. That one is about a last win amidst a bigger defeat. This time it feels a little more tangible.

I'd also like to point out that if there are still people believing in the piece of crap speech the imbeciles in power have been giving for 25 years, their brains have been out of service for that much time. How are you still living? It is a modern medical mystery.

If the 21st Century Socialist Bullshit were to end tomorrow, where will all its supporters stuck their heads? Maybe they are already too deep inside their asses to do anything about it. I reckon that might be the only way they tolerate the steam piles of crap thrown at them on a daily basis. Maybe when they listen to the crap, they open their mouth so they can take in a big dose.
