  • The thing is, to us, what you can do to help is so obvious that it feels like we’re being asked how to breathe.

    Help your community, volunteer for a cause, don’t get involved in acts of hatred disguised as moralism or the defense of a national or ethnic identity, educate yourself by reading authors who are part of the minority you want to support, confront and accept the reality of privilege, etc.

    But also, often the question “How can I help?” masks the real question: “How can I be a hero to your people?”. So I suppose that before one ask how to help, one should first ask oneself “Do I really want to help?” and be honest about it.

    EDIT: Always relevant video about this



  • Nop! Not a single bit!

    I doesn’t fit the pronunciation rules of most latinamerican countries, not even Brazil. I mean, How do you “say” that? what sound does the X represents? It’s like “LatinEx”? That sounds so silly! Like a Kingdom Hearts Villain or something.

    If you want to be inclusive / non-binary, you better use “Latine” (La-ti-ne). That’s how the “inclusive language” works here.

    Although, I argue that “Latino” is OK either way, since you’re talking about the collective from “LATINO-America”.


  • That’s the question from which fucked up shit start to happen, but let’s take it at face value.

    In that case, you can look for a segment of the minority group that aligns with your ideals (because not all of us think the same way, we’re not a collective mind) and offer them your support.

    Do you encounter, say, Latinos who support Trump? Leave them alone and offer support to Latinos who are critical of Trump; We’ll know how to use your help to take actions that benefit all of us, including those who are “wrong.”












  • I am in Venezuela. From what i see and my mother, who is more aware of these things, has explained me, in short:

    • The hydrocarbons law was reformed to basically give foreign companies that want to invest in our oil almost all the power they need. They are practically the owners of the land where they will drill.
    • An amnesty law has freed almost all political prisoners.
      • In relation to this, many of the prisoners who were in the Helicoide, Chavismo’s so-called “torture center,” denied having suffered any torture. Not on TV, but on their personal TikToks.
    • It is said that the CIA conducted an investigation to corroborate the claims that the disgraced opposition leader, Marina Corina Machado, and the opposition were making about the Chavista regime and the state of Venezuela in general. All or the vast majority of these claims turned out to be lies or exaggerations.
    • Attorney General Tarek William Saab resigned. But in reality, he was only moved to a different position, becoming Ombudsman. The new Attorney General is a man named Larry Devoe. It is not yet known where the former Ombudsman, Alfredo Ruiz, has been reassigned.

    That’s pretty much it. As for sources, I can’t recommend any in English, as the vast majority exaggerate or distort the narrative according to an agenda (whether for or against the United States). All mine are regional and in Spanish. The closest would be RT, but it has a very bad reputation (and rightly so).

    In reality, everything remains the same at the citizen level. The same people are still in charge, and the dollar continues to rise. The only difference is that Venezuelan oil may be sold to Israel by the US, while we will continue to eat shit with the Chavistas.

    Change so that nothing changes.
