Not true. It implicitly affirms the existence of Venezuela, despite the fact that all countries are social constructs and only exist because we believe in them. Believing in Venezuela is a choice and the article implicitly makes that choice based on no factual evidence. There can never be factual evidence for the existence of a country because they’re all fake.

And yet here you are just accepting the existence of this ‘article’ based solely on some electric signals. Pot, meet Kettle.

I’m biased, but I’m not a hypocrite. I don’t claim to be unbiased. Biases are good sometimes. But lying about biases is almost always bad, and that’s what this bot is doing.

Rare Maduro win.

Yea because it is a great idea to stifle what is put on the net.

Unfathomably based. We should follow suite and allow no X posts.

The actions of a true winner. That'll erase all doubt he won the election.

I wonder if he would ban it if X was exposing bs of his opposition instead of him…

Banning Twitter from the US would help the US reduce election fraud. I doubt that’s what’s happening here. Maduro is a bag of shit. But Elon is absolutely spreading lies and propaganda in the US and we’d be better without him.
