Re: [liberationtech] My Venezuela Post

[Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes]

There are no “well-intentioned” official outside or inside entities in the 
Venezuelan quagmire. That’s what the “Prophets of Disaster” (google “profetas 
del desastre”) predicted maybe be 40 years ago? I agreed at the time with their 
“predictions.” It was beautiful, that “tierna y ardorosa logia [Michel Foucault 
dixit] de expertos multidisciplinarios” and more importantly ecumenical (I 
don’t recall a similar word for politics that is clean enough for me to use) 
all agreeing in the catastrophic effects of fossil fuels for societies which 
happen to be sitting on oodles of them - forget for a second the environment!

More later.

En caso que no lo saben, hay una lista en español par derechos humanos y

In case you don't know, there's a Spanish-language list for( those who defend

Re: [liberationtech] My Venezuela Post

[Jose Luis Mendoza Marquez]

Lamento profundamente que la situación en Venezuela sea tan complicada que
dificulta su manejo por quienes no la viven aun con las mejores
intenciones. Me expresare en esta ocasión en español no porque crea que
hacerlo en ingles sea una carga injusta sino porque mi ingles no es muy
bueno y prefiero evitar esa "tortura" al grupo... 😹

Cuando vi el correo electrónico en cuestión pensé que fue desafortunado
pero comprendí de inmediato que se debe precisamente a lo complejo que es
la situación en un país donde por dos décadas nos hemos tristemente
acostumbrado a labores de inteligencia, espionaje, contraespionaje y una
mentalidad propia de militares en campaña aplicada a todas las esferas de
la vida civil.

Les pido comprensión junto a sus buenas intenciones, no se trata de que
estemos especialmente susceptibles, que así es en efecto, sino que hemos
sido victimas de un regimen totalitario que se ha mantenido en el poder
gracias a hacernos ver a nosotros mismos como enemigos, dividiendo
familias, enfrentando esposos, hermanos de sangre de manera literal, lo que
ha ocasionado un especial recelo que nos dificulta incluso recibir ayuda
para restituir nuestro debilitado tejido social.

Me uno a quienes les preocupa la situación social que económica en
Venezuela, siendo que la crisis de hiperinflación y la diáspora de
emigrantes son consecuencias y no causa de la misma, por ello, agradezco
tanto la ayuda y atención que nuestra crisis recibe en este momento a nivel
internacional, pues es esa atencion la que esta inclinando la balanza a
nuestro favor para dar fin a este ciclo.

There are any number of us who would be able to read a message in Spanish, so 
I'd urge you to go ahead and post both in your most comfortable language, plus 
translation because of the list's stated common language. I subscribe to some 
ES+EN lists and find this kind of practice to be very helpful. I wouldn't 
myself post (or answer you) in Spanish because of my limited capability, but 
I'd be happy to read what you have to say in its original language!

I certainly can understand how it might feel difficult to express subtleties in 
a second language — I have that problem myself.

Re: [liberationtech] My Venezuela Post

[Cristina (99)]

What i don't see as something friendly -and sorry about it- is to
discuss this terrible moment in English.
I know the list is in that language, but a lot of us are South
Americans, living this from Latin America, and having to translate our
opinions (even between us) to a foreign language. I feel it a bit weird,
sorry again.
And this is sooo strong for us (as imply a key point to all the region)
that it's very difficult to express it in English. At least It's one of
the reasons I remain in silence.

Best,

Cristina (99)

Re: [liberationtech] My Venezuela Post

[Andrés Leopoldo Pacheco Sanfuentes]

I don’t think your post was “political editorializing” at all! And I’m a 
Venezuelan citizen that tries to keep out of the toxic political talk in and on 
Venezuela. Life is NOT politics, and history and facts transcend ideologies, 
often used to mask or justify untenable and immoral social realities maintained 
by governments and other power brokers.

Regards / Saludos / Grato
