Haha. Thanks, @felt.buzz. I guess there is an easy fix for that: just to forget about it, ignore politics and everything derived from it; but as they say, easier said than done. I have tried, but, unlike some societies where people can live without beng directly affected by politis, here everything you do or is done to you comes from politics.
For instance, maduro has announced a relief package. The government will give money to people, but only to those who have the carnet de la patria (motherland ID, can you think of a stupider name for a mechanism of social control?). I count myself among those who never applied for that damn thing. I won't get any government money, then. Most people, even people who hate maduro with all their guts (or so they say) got that ID. Hunger and fear are stronger than pride and integrity.
