Bolivar himself was not particularly like even in what later became Venezuela.
Bolivar is hated in several countries that he "Liberated", especially in Peru.
Something else of interest that he adds is the role of the Liberators such as San Martin and Simon Bolivar. He notes that for most people in Latinamerica these are canonical figures that can't be touched at all as they're seen as saints, but he actually considers them as the victimizers and as traitors.
When in reality, it seems more that the region was the victim of the very people who we have been taught to love and admire, our liberators.
To love your colonialist oppressors, enough to call it brainwashing. Today I hear the strong remnant of that result in the mouth of these leftists showing them still as heroes of the fatherland. If you watch any video of Maduro, you will get an idea of how deep he is still.
It's too romanticized, childish and even messianic in case you haven't heard a song called "Viva Venezuela".
When Bolívar was born
Venezuela gave a scream
Saying that he had been born
A second Jesus Christ
Maybe that's why Guaido and company started using Bolivar again more than anything and not to "steal" the patriotic symbols. They will know something because if we have learned
"to listen to psychopaths in reverse",
the good ones are always demonized and the demons sanctified!.
Yes, that is something that has been crossing my mind as I look into it. The notion of a repeating syndrome, particularly in Latinamerica, it may sound too abstract but it’s like, for the sin of having gone through the independence without question, our hell is to be the constant puppet and to have leaders who are corrupt and vassals of the US.
I don't know, I read all this and the only thing that comes to my mind is the impediment on the part of England because the United States or Spain was not the first to control America. "Whoever gets there first, gets it." Someone has to get to the top and the rest is part of the complementary adaptation to a system established by the winner and author of the story in his favor, understand, culture, religion, education, etc.
Simon Bolívar and San Martín, I read a long time ago that they were English spies, they really weren't fighting for any "independence" of anything, but for the fragmentation of the verreinates of Spain. The closest thing to the frustrated result is in what is still being discussed today about the Malvinas and Guyana, fragments of that attempted conquest between 3 great powers, so to speak.
We find England and France calling the attention of all nations, and giving them eloquent lessons, of all kinds in matters of government. The Revolution of these two great Peoples, like a radiant meteor, has flooded the world with such a profusion of political lights that all thinking beings have already learned what the rights of man are, and what their duties are.
And in the message to the inhabitants of New Granada of June 30, 1819, when the British troops were already carrying out their predatory task in an exemplary way, he pointed out:
From the most remote climes, a British legion has left the homeland of glory to acquire the renown of saviors of America. In your bosom, people of Granada, you already have this army of friends and benefactors, and the God who always protects afflicted humanity, will grant victory to his redemptive weapons.
Redemptive weapons that massacred the populations; redemptive weapons that subdued the entire Hispanidad; redemptive weapons that, literally, emptied the coffers of the viceroyalties and transported the treasures for the greater glory of England; redemptive weapons that exterminated indigenous peoples; redemptive weapons under whose auspices the market of all Hispanidad sank for the exclusive benefit of the British market; redemptive weapons that, needing military bases, did not hesitate to graciously stay with the Malvinas Islands or with Guyana.

In the end, everything ended up in a kind of patriotic narcissism where Latin Indians call each other Indians contemptuously. The Indians of the north of the south are less Indians than those of the south of the south. Karma in this small space of hatred between Indians makes sense to me.
As Jaime Garzón said:
"The rich think they're English, the middle class thinks they're Greek, intellectuals think they're French and the poor think they're Mexican," Colombian comedian Jaime Garzón (murdered in 1999 for "awkward") joked about his compatriots.
What is more interesting, while it seems that the C's are saying that the intent behind mixing Spanish and the Indigenous population was a replacing precursor (replacing the Indigenous population with a new "race" or "variant" I guess), I wonder why was this appealing in the first place?
A: We have told you before: the Nazi experience was a "trial run," and by now you see the similarities, do you not?
Q: (L) Yes, I do see...
A: Now, we have also told you that the experience of the "Native Americans" vis a vis the Europeans may be a precursor in microcosm.
I found this:
A microcosm of society.
"A microcosm is a small society, place or activity that has all the typical characteristics of a much larger one and that's why it looks like a smaller version of it."
Like an early experiment on repopulation like many others an the Nazi, but a very beta version (laughter). Well, "colonial era", is self-explanatory.

Thanks for these topics Alejo, it's certainly complicated with so much fragmented history. It is as many do who only see life in a compressed form as dinosaurs, Jesus Christ, Christopher Columbus/Cristóbal Colón and evolution/current affairs.
A long time ago I was attracted by the history of South America and I didn't have the patience for this, it seemed like a dead end. It was like watching the "Zorro" series. Don Diego representing the heroes of independence and Captain Monasterio as early psychopathy germinating in the viceroyalty of Spain blocking all information to the King so as not to be discovered. (laughter)
