Do you have anything to add to the thread or are you just here to show your true colours as you tell a person encouraging you to donate to charity to go gently caress themselves?

No, he won exactly one election. He did a coup years ago when the opposition won the only valid legislature in the country.

if a guy is saying to me that me being so poor as to having to decide between cheese and ham is not a good enough reason not to donate to a catholic church charity, i usually do take that as a sign that he is an arrogant piece of poo poo who doesn't know what the gently caress he's talking about. being informed that you're actually an arrogant piece of poo poo is a valueble piece of info and

A Venezuelan citizen does not have a choice between cheese or ham. A Venezuelan citizen has probably not seen cheese or ham in loving months. Your problems are in no way comparable with what life is like in Venezuela. You think what you're going through is poverty? You've got access to healthcare, access to electricity, water, education, you live in loving Finland.

At least you can eat either one of those. Many Venezuelans can't even loving buy flour. And when they do, they have to spend hours in a line.

and no, i will not be donating to a catholic church charity to prove myself to you. eat poo poo and die

Dude, I can perfectly understand why you wouldn't want to donate to a religious charity. Caritas came up because they have actively providing relief on the ground and are an established charity (so there is a track record to check) rather than a random gofundme where you don't know what the gently caress. There are other groups though and other ways to make a difference that don't involve a church.

Might be worth to add a list of charities and other aid organizations actively involved in Venezuela at the moment to the OP.

Has he? If you don't have the money to donate, or if you don't like Caritas, find another charity. Simply signalboosting something helps. My point is that there is absolutely nothing of any gain whatsoever coming from that crowd. Nothing. No solutions, no worthwhile commentary, no debate, no assistance, nothing.

None of these things would help a common VZ citizen.

The sanctions and account freezes are in place to prevent the further embezzlement of funds by the PSUV.

What blockade do you speak of?

The threat of military action in this case is being used as a safeguard against Maduro using the VZ armed forces to hold up his government's rule. The actions of Maduro and his cronies have resulted in a situation where they cannot be allowed to hold power. Now that the Venezuelan people have some measure of confidence in a new government, and it in them, they are closer now than ever to removing him. Last chance before the end-of-the-line.

No, you have the right to post nearly whatever the heck you want on this dead gay comedy forum. You have amply proven that already.

We have also amply proven that we can also post nearly whatever the heck we want by calling you a concern trolling, uncharitable, shitheel due to what you have been posting.

Go gently caress yourself

Yes, the correct answer to someone who during a discussion about a political crisis replies to you "Did you donate anything???? Did you do anything???? You personally, what did you do???" is to tell them to go gently caress themselves, because that is a ghoulish thing to do. And you can see that that's his only goal because when he got a reasonable answer about what should be done about the situation he discarded it and continued hammering on his stupid loving point of "What did you PERSONALLY do?" because he's concern trolling.

I'm just sick of the repetition. All I want is for one of you to bring an actual alternative, as opposed to more of the same. Removing sanctions put in 2018 will, what, revert the country to the state it was in 2017? That was still loving awful, and it was still on a total nosedive.
