CMV: Just because Venezuela doesn't have radical Islamists, doesn't mean it's gonna be any less of a mess than Iraq afte

I heard that argument the other day. Quite a few people seem to think that American intervention in Venezuela is gonna go smoothly because unlike Iraq, Venezuela doesn't have radical Islamists. That's very naive though in my opinion.
Actually, Venezuela and Iraq have a lot in common.
Iraq is a Shia-majority country, where Sunnis are the clear minority. However, in 2003 it was ruled by a Sunni dictator, who was very unpopular amongst the Shia majority. Venezuela is a country where communism is rather unpopular among the population, but it's ruled by a communist, despite communist ideologues being the minority in the country.
Iraq had radical Sunni-Islamist militias and Sunni pro-government security forces who were oppressing the Shia majority. Venezuela has radical far-left communist paramilitary forces who are oppressing the non-communist majority on behalf of a communist dictator. And on top of that they have violent drug cartels. The cartels may not be ideologically communist, as in being true believers. But they are equally aligned with the regime and are engaging in violence on behalf of the regime, a sort of power-sharing agreement you could say. "I scratch your back, you scra

22nd birthday today; I dread the 23rd.

wow what a terrible feeling. I feel like it’s all downhill from here. I’m gonna finish college and (hopefully) get a job and do that until I die. My parents are in their 60’s and I don’t know how much longer I have them. I feel so isolated all the time, even when I’m with others. My birthday used to make me happy, now it makes me sad, and it gets worse every year. Call the geopolitical atmosphere the cherry on top, but honestly, I can’t even care about that right now. I can’t afford to live, even if I could, id still be rich and sad. I can’t keep doing this for another 30-40 years. I didn’t ask for any of this

Honestly I think my neighbors actually like being heard through these thin walls

It’s honestly weird. I can hear my neighbors being so loud during their private moments that there’s no way they don’t realize the whole building hears it. Every time it happens I just sit there thinking about it. Do they genuinely not care. Or is being heard actually part of it for them.
I’m not even angry. Just confused. Whenever I remember how thin the walls are I automatically lower my voice or turn the TV down. It’s a reflex. But with them it feels like that switch just doesn’t exist. Maybe some people really move through life without thinking about anyone around them. I honestly don’t know. It definitely makes living here… awkward.
