I think that people should call things for what they are, not sugarcoat it.

We are living in a dictatorship. We can't speak out because the government instantly censor or threaten us, we even have a law of "hate-speech" that if we talk bad about our government in high levels we can be put in jail for 20-30 years. That's why I speak mostly on english when I'm online.

We can't publicly voice what's happening here to the news. Reporters from outside have been here, people on the internet have posted videos about what's happening here. The feeling of impotence to see people which such freedom to speak REFUSE to criticize a dictator... It's just infuriating.

This is a situation that I would never wish to my worst enemy and something that I'd never support.

After living the results every day of my life and see how the situation degrades into something worse... I'd never consider supporting it.

Also - I've tried websites like that but sometimes the time response is too long and some projects are mid/long-term. Twitter has been a trusty place where I can talk directly and openly with my clients for things that'd take me 1-3 days.

Well, I was literally a few days old when Chavez got elected, but I could see things as I grew up.

But, I guess one of the differences was that Chavez managed to have the supermarkets stocked to keep the people happy/calm while he screwed things up on another place. Meanwhile, Maduro blames everything on the "empire" (United States) and any other country for the lack of food or the medicines while ALSO saying that there's no crisis here in Venezuela.

Again, I'm young, I've seen fairly more about Maduro's regime than Chavez.

Because I guess that the ones with the weapons are the military forces and gansters after the gun banning.

So it'd be like, a defenseless group of people against gangs and military with all types of guns and equipment

Because the ones who have tried were shot and now are dead.

And I don't wanna die yet. I want to stop surviving and finally get a life.
