There is this phrase which more or less in english
goes like: we’re making the effort for
having a better country. Now everything is for having a better country.
Last Saturday I went to the venezuelan version of a Food Truck Fair and, like
everything lately, it wasn´t enjoyable at all. Many people complained and they
had a point to do so, the thing is that the producers of the event weren´t, in
my opinion, respectful enough with the upset ones. This mainstream way of
management through cell phones and by posting flattering moments of itself is
not being well used as I can see. We are supposed to be cheering and grateful
because they’re making the effort for
having a better country; just like the government. Chavez used to speak
about the new man as a person with new values. A lot of money in propaganda got
spent to convey such an affirmation. I think it worked, there’s indeed a new
man, only that perhaps it is not what’s expected, not to me at least.
The new politicians for instance. They’ve become so
popular and then, at last, it turned too little (almost nothing) all these
growing alliance against our oppressors. Yesterday, for example, these
representatives, both sides, gathered at Dominican Republic to renegotiate terms.
I’m kind of lost with those terms. I need my income to reach the next payment.
We need a whole new economy system and we need it right away. This terms thing
just delay while prices keep increasing. On the other hand, like the people of
the Food Truck, these ones also are making
the effort for having a better country…
It seems like everything is being done through safe
passages. It seems that’s the excuse we better believe so, yes, we’re supposed
to self-deceive one another, post it as a good thing to then, by lying each
other, make the phrase a slogan. Therefore, let’s say I’m making the effort for having a better country I guess…
