Did you mean to say "Pengwing Awareness Day"?

I was a critical supporter of Hugo Chavez, but Maduro is Venezuela's Stalin and has buried all the gains of the Bolivarian revolution. Actual Venezuelan leftists who have suffered under the dictatorship condemn Trump's kidnapping without hesitation while not neglecting to say that this guy was the enemy of the people.

I'm honestly partial to the idea that Maduro's VP sold him out in return for the survival of the rest of her corrupt regime. People who are imagining that now Machado or Gonzalez can return and take over are not paying attention - in fact, they're dreaming. Trump hasn't even pretended this is about democracy. Once again, Maduro's whole regime are still there and acting defiant. Some people have learned nothing from 2003.

If you cheer this, nothing will stop this happening next time in Havana, Mexico City, Bogotá, or anywhere else someone crosses the whims of the Orange Goblin.

Maduro and Flores have to be returned to Venezuela, now, so Venezuelans can deal with them. More details about how we got here, from a socialist perspective.

Seems like we finally agree on something, Mdme Schivă.

I don't care if they are tried in New York or The Hague but I hope Maduro and his wife will be jailed for decades as the authors of misery and destabilization for decades. And that the safe and secure return of Maria Camacho Machado and Edmundo Gonzales (the actual president of Venezuela) from exile can help start the rebuilding of democracy in Venezuela.

The sight and sound of Venezuelans chanting and crying in the streets brings me back to talking with Venezuelan refugees in Colombia in 2019 while on a human rights delegation. I tried to imagine those refugees fear and now maybe a little bit of hope that they might be able to come home.

It's what I always say: Everyone does the right thing, just the wrong way.

Seriösmint, acest fost terminar.

This is why I'm an isolationist. It's NOT their problem to deal with!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I voted early, I realised I still had church that day 😅

If you really understand the song (which I do), it's not as happy as it seems.

May I ask why you are writing in what looks like Latin as well as Talossan?

-Txec R

I'm using Talossan as a test subject for my Romance experiment (I have a theory that all the Romance "languages" are just badly pronounced dialects of Latin, I'm writing it side by side to prove it)

We should all actually speak Polish as the global lingua franca.

If the Polish cow song becomes popular again we just might (last time I'll go off topic I promise)

If I can't compel MZs to get back on topic, I would least highly encourage everyone to do so.

Yeah sorry bout that :P

Quote from: Mximo Malt on December 31, 2025, 04:59:35 PMI really hate that part about Ireland...

So do I, and so do many Irish, but this is what happens when, after independence, Ireland was still a poor country dependent on labour migration to the UK or the US and so speaking English was still an economic necessity.

My sympathy is still with Ireland's first ambassador to the League of Nation, who always addressed that body in French, because he could not speak Irish and he'd be damned if he'd speak English.

Yk I really wish everyone spoke French rather than English as the global lingua franca (and Gaeilge as the main language in Éire)

Give it a few more years and what's left of humanity will be speaking either Russian or Chinese

I'd lean towards Russian (it sounds so pretty to me)

I doubt we will get to choose

I meant to say "I hope it's Russian"

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on December 30, 2025, 06:12:05 PMlike Russia trying to eliminate the Ukrainian language in occupied Donetsk

Irrelevant but any part of Ukraine east of the Dnepr speaks Russian arleady anyway, also inhabited by Russians. Ukrainian is spoken instead anywhere west of the Dnepr, also inhabited by actual Ukrainians.

This is not true at all, and in fact is Russian propaganda. Eastern Ukrainians are not "Russians" just because Russian (or surzhyk, Russian-Ukrainian pidgin) is their first language. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who comes from Kryvyi Riv in south-eastern Ukraine, speaks Russian as his first language. Most of Ireland speaks English as their first language but they kind of take murderous exception if you say they're English.

I really hate that part about Ireland...

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on December 30, 2025, 04:37:38 PMI have asked for a word to be coined for this new approach, and we intend to do them fairly regularly.

It could be as simple as Seßiun Rustitsch (Informal Session).

Or in Talossan Latin, "Sessio Rustitiscus"! :D

It's feminine.

There we go, all better!
