Do whatever you want, whatever.

They might hear like the typical Magasolanos, you know?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

And you might hear all of these like perspectives that are really coming from not a place of

Behind the Bastards

them being fascist or whatever, but coming from a trauma.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

So I think that if you want to inform yourself, you need to develop the ability to think critically about what's going on and be able to understand who are these people and why do they have this perspective?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

So they have this perspective, not because they were slave owners back in Venezuela, not because they are white.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

Some of them are not white.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

It's not because they are like pro fascism or they necessarily love the US.

Behind the Bastards

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

Well, they have that trauma because all of the abuses that were committed to the Venezuelan people were on behalf of this quote-unquote socialism, right?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

Although if you speak to them, you might ask them, well, what do you want to see in your country?

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

And you're like, well, this doesn't sound very pro-capitalism to me.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

But I guess the ability to understand

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

these people instead of calling them like CIA agents, fascists, like they're stupid.

Behind the Bastards
It Could Happen Here Weekly 226

They're idiots.
