I doubt you could find Venezuela on a map so I'm hardly shocked you don't comprehend Venezuelan macroeconomics.

Says the guy who doesn't know what murder means.

I'm quite clear on that one, thanks though.

First chiropractic care, now this.

Most of Josh's posts have a distinct head-stuck-in-a-microwave flavor to them, but I think it's safe to say that international relations ranks near the bottom of his competencies.

OK, buddy.

*pats on head*

Nice to see you're out of that very public manic period you had going on a few weeks ago.

That Venezuela one isn't a very funny meme

Jesus christ dude

Go on..

The meme very transparently (and very obviously to anyone with more than a passing familiarity with the region's history) omits the context and causes of what led to Venezuela's downfall, as well as (weirdly) some of Castro-Chavismo's most egregious failings, in order to paint a dumbshit "progressive policies are bad" picture that Boomers and aging Gen X-ers can plaster all over their Facebooks. On a personal note, it irks me because it (very incompetently) mines a real and tragic humanitarian crisis that has affected friends and family for cheap political points, contorting it past recognition to draw parallels where there are none. We see a lot of deeply idiotic shit in this thread but goddamn.

I dunno I kinda liked the part where some Bernie speech precipitates locking up Lopez.

Stop ruining this thread!

Are people seriously getting butt hurt over the contents or accuracy of a meme? Is that what RM has come to?

Venezuelan macroeconomics.

Douchebag.

You have to put quotes around it if you're going to do the meme.
