There was a time in my life when I would spend a few hours learning about US-Venezuela relations and the Venezuelan government and related topics so I could have a skin deep understanding of it and play an internet expert in threads like this.
I’m not going to do that today. It’s sunny, and I want to spend time with family. Being naive about this topic doesn’t affect the core of things I want to be knowledgeable about. And the reality is, having a vote only gives me nominally more agency over US foreign policy than someone who can’t vote. I am mostly just observing.

- janalsncm 10mo agoI would love to hear what you are doing differently.

- janalsncm 10mo agoI see. It seems you’ve done just about as much as me, but you’re choosing to use the little agency you do have to be rude to people online.
