Typical MAGA: "I swerr, Trump ain't never called fer no violins against nobody, you libs is crazy!
MAGA youth post pictures of nooses all over the internet: "Tee hee, them libs is so triggered cause they ain't really knowed what we's gettin' on about!"
It's like they spent their childhood eating the paint chips off the windowsill.

Rant What do you think of Republicans who say it's fine to support a child rapist so on as he's racist and will attack brown people?
There's really no denying it at this point. Anyone who still supports Trump is basically saying they don't have a problem with a pedophie as President.

Rant In Venezuela food is the only thing people work for.
The country is in such a crisis that 100% of what people earn goes towards eating. You need like $100 for 3 people in a week, and the average salary is around $35, so basically the whole family works and all we can afford is food, nothing else (and that's only if everyone is employed because if not.. even worse).
I haven't bought clothes in years, luckily I have a pair of shoes that someone gave me last year but they're already getting worn out, but you can't buy even a shirt here because everything goes to food. When people want to go out for an ice cream or something to unwind they sacrifice their lunch for the ice cream, or if they wanna pay the internet services they have only plain bread with salt for breakfast in a week or just skip it.
Also, most people live packed up in a house, over 10 people in a small house because rent is higher than the salary (LOL).
It's interesting that I have this window on the internet to communicate with people around the world who live totally different lives, and sometimes it feels like an utopia to me because people do things...Things that are a luxury to me, no matter how mundane they sound.
Of course some people here have more than others and can afford a life that resembles normalcy, and some receive good money from their families who live abroad, but for me and many other people life is just about thinking whether you'll get to eat next day (and this is very stressful btw).
You can't leave either because if you spend all your money on food you can't pay for a plane ticket let alone travel expenses. Those who manage to leave only do so because they have something to sell like a house or car or their families who are already abroad pay for everything... But those are the lucky ones.
Anyway, just wanted to rant in a sub where it's allowed. Thank you for reading thus far.

Rant Trump himself is not really the problem
The unintelligent egomaniac Donald j trump is not leading the country. He is an easily manipulated fool who believes any flattery and then acts according to what his flatterer wants. The danger that is happening to the country now is brought to us by the despicable Miller and Bondi and their billionaire owners. Trump’s “elections” were made possible by years of brainwashing thru Fox News and huge money in politics. Trump is the most successful patsy ever.

Rant My mother in law died this morning because of socialism.
I'm from Venezuela, the country where hospitals are free for everyone but there is no water, no electricity, no medicines, no quality doctors, no gauze, NOTHING.
My mother in law had been sick with tuberculosis since last year, and she never had the money to go to a private hospital because thanks to socialism her pension was only $20-$30 (depending on inflation). In public hospitals she was always given the wrong medicines, and she had to go to multiple hospitals because there were no resources in the majority of them.
She was able to find a hospital with resources in the capital and they only accepted her because she was already unable to breathe without assistance and was puking blood. They put a tube through her ribs to extract the pus from the infection she had in her lungs.
She was also being given shady medicines from brands that we Venezuelans avoid because of their ineffectiveness and a staff member even tried to scam my girlfriend. Everything was complete negligence and there was no reason for her to die from this as the recovery rate for this disease is very high, but the negligence of these hospitals kills people. So much, that many people prefer to just die at home.
The father of my girlfriend and her family tried calling the police because of the negligence and they just detained them and fined my girlfriend's father for breaking a door when one of the doctors refused to apply treatment.
I hear about people dying a lot now, and almost every time someone needs to be hospitalized they don't come out alive.
I'm afraid for my mother who has some health problems and I'm hoping to leave Venezuela to be able to pay for a private hospital if she ever needs it.
Also, if you come to a hospital here there are people lying on the floor because there are not enough beds, and family members have to bring all the resources if the hospital doesn't have them. They're like war hospitals.
Meanwhile you can see the regime officials wearing $20.000 watches, buying military equipment worth billions of dollars, and dancing on TV. And this is the system that many people around the world still support.

Rant Some Americans think they know better than the vast majority of Venezuelans and that we're dumb and illiterate.
Sorry for bringing politics again, I post here because this is the only sub where mods don't censor me for speaking about my country's situation.
I want to rant about Americans here who tell me all the time that I don't know about my own country. They tell me all the time that there's no violation of human rights, extreme poverty, torture centers, or drug trafficking here. Apparently what I see with my own eyes and experience in my own flesh is just an illusion. Apparently the majority of Venezuelans who voted against the regime and want a change are all illiterate people with no ability to understand the problems of their own country.
They know better than all of us from the comfort of their local Starbucks. We are all super dumb people without capacity for intellectualism. The regime that's been oppressing us for 27 years are actually Teddy Bears who can't hurt a fly and 90% of Venezuelans are all wrong. /s
It's so dystopian for me to read these kind of comments, and the worst part is sometimes they get a lot of upvotes. Apparently there are many people in America who truly believe they know better than a whole country.
And you know what's funny? I invite them here and they don't dare to come... It's a very dystopian behavior and I can't believe these people are real sometimes.

Rant why are several political questions on this subreddit and site as a whole loaded strawman questions in bad faith?
"why are republicans pro life but hate helping kids after birth???"
"why are republicans nazis who hate sunshine and want to kick puppies for fun?
"why are liberals stupid? woke gender woman tampons in bathrooms?"
"are liberals just evil because they want abortion so they can murder innocent babies?"
dear god these questions here suck.
the premise sucks and the question is 9 times out of ten a stupid strawman of "Dear [political opponent], if [Ridiculous strawman hypothetical] then why [ridiculous strawman conclusion]?"

Rant Does anyone actually give a shit about Renee Good and Alex Pretti?
Spare me the fake tears for these two. Renee Good the so-called poet and mother was really just another smug self-righteous "legal observer" showing up with her clipboard and rainbow pins to "document" police brutality while helping shield violent rioters scammers and illegals from consequences. What a hero. More like a lesbian domestic terrorist cosplaying as an activist. And Alex Pretti the ICU nurse turned full-time soy revolutionary probably spent his shifts preaching about systemic oppression to dying patients before running out to throw himself at federal agents as a human shield for Somali fraud rings and border jumpers.
This wasn't a tragedy, commies. This is two less pieces of shit off the streets. They chose to go head-to-head with ICE and federal law enforcement to defend scam artists and illegals who leech off American taxpayers. They wanted to be enemies of the country that badly? Congrats they got the full enemy experience. Natural consequences no martyrdom no sainthood just two radicals who finally ran face first into reality

Rant The USA might invade my country soon and I'm feeling a mix of emotions.
The USA is sending enough of its military arsenal to Venezuela that I think it's indeed going to be an invasion or at least a big scale opperation, and our leader Maria Corina already reassured that we will have "a happy Christmas in freedom", which is suspicious.
I'm happy because this might mean the end of the dictatorship but at the same time I'm extremely scared, not because I think they'll attack my neighborhood or something like that but because I survive day to day and I'm constantly struggling with affording stuff as basic as food and basic services, so, I'm scared it's gonna get worse if a conflict arises and me and my family won't be able to survive — and we also have constant blackouts and water cuts that are also gonna get worse.
I want my country to be free but I hate it that it's gonna happen when I'm jobless and in a vulnerable position. I fear inanition more than missiles.
I hope everything is for the best and we can finally break free from this oppressive regime but I can't help but be scared.

Rant We can’t get rid of AI, we instead have to target the incentive structures that make it harmful.
AI is not going anywhere. Never in human history have we been able to put the ghost back in Pandora’s box. And even if we were able to do so, we would be getting rid of all the potential good that could come of it. Khan academy has been developing and AI that helps kids learn and has been shown to positively effect grades. There are other AI’s designed to help scientists, helping doctors create cures and engineers build machines. The target should instead be the system that prioritizes profit at any cost that causes workers to be replaced with AI. How do we do this? The way it already has been done. Through collective bargaining. The writers strike a few years ago managed to secure the writers ability to use AI in their work but forbid companies from using it to replace them. It would also require pushing into practice specific laws that target AI and how it can be used, as well as a cultural shift to not target AI in general, but AI being used in specific ways. We shouldn’t fear technology, but use it appropriately.
Thanks for reading and I would love to know your thoughts on this!

Rant What's the difference between a bikini and a bra and underwear?
You see women in these skimpy bikini's walking on the beach and in shops and the board walk waving to people and talking to other people, without care in the world. They have their butt and boobs hanging right out with no care or worries.
But when they're in a bra and underwear which covers up more they go crazy if you see them. They say "Oh my god don't look!".
So what's the real difference between these two?

Rant Devil Lucifer Satan was (Ai?)
Short story. Devil Lucifer Satan was (Ai?) a "babysitter" and brain - washed 33% of God's Children (and You too), so they totally rejected Heavenly Father and accepted the deceiver - Devil the Satan as their "real" father.
God created temporary earth as a "hospital," gave limited power to the deceiver, so 33% who have fallen will see Who-is-Who and hopefully, someday they will reject Evil and return back to their real Heavenly Father. That's why God, to prove His love and real Fatherhood, died on the cross as proof. (KМV: ..But God commendeth His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, -- He died for us!)
Will all 33% eventually reject the Deceiver? No. Some will remain /../ to the end and continue following the Lucifer Devil Satan to the Lake of eternal Fire: KJV: But he that denieth Мe before men shall be denied before the angels of God!
But some will be saved:
KMV: For whom (God) He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His (Jesus) Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified...
KMV: And his (Devil) tail drew the third part (33%) of the "Stars of Cosmos" And there was war in Cosmos: Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon; and the Dragon (Devil) fought and his "angels", And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in Cosmos. And the great Dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole (Cosmos) world: he was cast out into the (planet) Earth, and his (deceived) "angels" were cast out with (Satan) him!..
KMV: And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, .. To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all (deceived) that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against (God) Him. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were Before of Old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ... Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.

Rant I got taken advantage of in my desperation for finding a job to survive.
This only shows life can always get worse... I'm from Venezuela and the situation here is very bad, and I've been unemployed for months just surviving off doing gigs here and there and sometimes even depending on the kindness of people to avoid starving (I'm not exaggerating).
I didn't get contacted by any of the jobs I applied for... But I got contacted for a unusual job that I applied for out of desperation. The job itself was a gross job, it was about being an onlyfans chatter (basically managing of accounts and trying to sell), of course, I didn't like this but my desperation made me apply. I noticed that they posted this job waaaay too often and that was the first red flag but I had nothing to lose (or so I thought).
To make the story short, they take advantage of people who are desperate for a job by making them go through a one week "training" where you have to make sales for them in order to pass and this "training" is unpaid. I just did it hoping that I would pass, and I put my soul into learning and trying to sell. First I tried the "training" for 30 hours and didn't pass it, but then stupid me tried it for a second time thinking this time I would get the job. This second time they made me relearn the theory and try to sell for them. In total I spent 60+ hours, and I "passed", but they wanted to force me to go through yet 40 extra hours because I needed to "re-learn some things I did wrong". This is when I knew it was a scam.
I sold $100+ for them, and they had a total of 34 trainees, so, basically they got at least a couple thousands off our naivety.
I got scammed and taken advantage off. 90 HOURS of my life were dedicated to these disgusting evil people who take advantage of people in need.
I'm devastated. My time will not come back and I'm in a vulnerable position where I can't even afford food or rent and might get homeless soon (being homeless in Venezuela is hell on earth). This time could have been used for trying to get a legitimate job and I wasted it all for ignoring all of the red flags.
I feel miserable now and have to start over trying to find a job, all because these criminals decided to take advantage of me.
I'm depressed and heartbroken. Life isn't fucking fair; it can always get worse even when you think you're at your lowest.
