Maduristas still can't show us ONE image supporting their claims about the students, what's wrong?

[ChangoLoa]

As we all can see in the forum, pro-Maduro posters still haven't been able to produce ONE picture of Venezuelan students shooting against the red shirts or the military police, throwing people out of public buses, destroying people's houses and all the horrific things they accused the students of doing.

A week has passed and not ONE of their accusations has been supported by a real image.

All they have is an old photoshoped picture of Lopez with an added pic of a hooded guy throwing a molotov cocktail next to him...

So basically, what's wrong?
How do you explain that?

a) Laziness: are you guys simply too lazy to find something real?
b) No need for images: you consider articles written by a site that was created by the Venezuelan consulate in the US (venezuelanalysis) to be sufficient proof of what you claim?
c) False accusations: the students haven't done what you accuse them of doing?
d) Technology problem: pro-govt militants, militias and normal people on the bus don't have cameras in their cell phones?

NB: this is not a serious poll

1. I found some rock throwing and fire setting ones.

In the first one they look super young, the other pictures where you can see their faces, they look terrified, but brave. I'd bet money if it was Honduras they would be fine with it.

Oh, wait, that's an easy bet, because it happened before. Who knew Reporters Without Borders was a legit source again? Could've fooled me!

2. Yes, I bet they killed that palm tree!

3. Murderous fascists.

On second thought, that second picture, it looks more like they're throwing ... trash. Plastic bottles. You can see some protesters holding plastic bottles in the background. Oh and there's a girl with a US flag scarf with CIA written on the front of her shirt. WTF is that about?

4. Just saw that! But I can't tell what's written...

Many students write messages in their T-shirts to make fun of the govt's "internal enemy" accusations, and now T-shirts with those messages are being sold in the streets.

5. Still NOTHING, nada, niet?

Were the worshipers just making up stuff?

6. I haven't seen anything from them but lies. Violence is the chavista way n/t

7. They're too infatuated with their ideology that they cannot at all accept they're wrong

It's the same case with any fanatic of any doctrine/religion: their way of life is so dependent on their mindset that if one day they see no choice but to accept they're wrong, it would ultimately shatter their fantasy world forever. I actually kinda feel sorry for them, really.

The ways of thinking in black and white, left vs right, basically thinking in extremes, is an outdated mindset that is no longer relevant in today's modern world that has become so globalized and people have so much access to information, that it makes it clear the world works in various shades of grey. But I guess for them it's easier to assume a black/white point of view, refuting any facts that disprove their points even when they're right in front of them. This makes them no different than the Teabaggers and hardcore conservatives that they so desperately denounce. The only difference is that they preach a different ideology.

8. Exactly correct! Their blind devotion to their doctrinaire

never ceases to amaze me.

The only response they have is that we are fascist, RW trolls and disrupters. Stalin would have been so proud of these folks. And of course, they would have worshipped Papa Joe.

I believe that they have severe daddy issues. They weren't loved enough, so they latch onto the heroic, stern unwavering commie father figure who will save them from the evil capitalists.

9. Stalin called these people useful idiots.

10. armchair revolutionaries that don't have to live under the repression and failure in Venezuela

They wage their fight on a computer screen in the comfort of the society they hate. Miserable people.

11. Another good observation. They absolutely loathe the USA with a blind, pure white hatred.

I think I understand why. In America, you are mostly on your own. This country is, first and foremost, a place to do business. Some people just can't thrive in this kind of society. It takes a very strong positive attitude to survive here. Malcontents who gripe about everything do not do well here.

I think the USA is not for the weak. We do have a nominal safety net, but it's not nearly what half of the country wants.

[Bacchus4.0]

12. Yes, resentment of the US position in the world

and the general failure of a radical socialist/communist model in the world. No-one is looking at Cuba (other than Ven) or Venezuela as a model government. China has embraced the worst of capitalism. N Korea is a joke of course. Nothing to point to.

There are good examples of moderate socialist countries in Europe. Peru and Brazil have leftist leaders who have done a good job. However, those countries don't have rabid anti-US pricks as their leaders so our friends ignore those. It ultimately goes back to the resentment of the US.

13. I think the Scandanavian countries have found a good balance. If you want to make money, you

are free to do so. If you're not suited for real work, you'll receive basic necessities to keep you alive, but not enough to live high off the hog.
