Sadly so, and unlike oil, the fuel of ignorance is not in short supply.

:yes: That is the line used by both these guys (and their world comrades) for the purpose of rallying ignorant masses against a perceived common enemy. They are promised things in exchange, but as the shit hits the fan the people finally tire of lack of political freedom, food, and the...

How terrible for the people of Venezuela. We only need to look at his mentor Fidel Castro to know they are following the Cuba doctrine of a downward spiral of repression and misery initially disguised as justice.

Yes, and giving credit where credit is due is the gracious thing to do. As is not presuming or judging individuals. thanks.

By "not buying into it" I mean the culture of disposable people. Overall, sex and capitalism, with all their problems, are good things.
