I don't know anyone highly active in these kinds of communities who would say anything like this. Bragging online for clout is kind of the antithesis of the values endemic to those motivated to organize and perform direct action and the like.

Admonishing people in a condescending tone for bragging online is a bigger sin than bragging online.

it would be a damn shame if this thread meant to spread awareness about the situation of a country and its people was taken over by someone who lives in a country that allows them to live lavishly mostly free of oppression and they chose to spend their time arguing with people in a way that makes them look smarter than they actually are on a dead videogame's forum that they don't even play

Unfortunately the vast majority of NGOs are garbage. They exist mostly to line to pockets of the founders.

For instance.... worldvision is a Christian evangelist organization which serves to create a gross relationship and power dynamic between a child in a poor country and a wealthy 'sponsor'. The children do not benefit from this relationship beyond the direct donations that may or not make it into their hands.

The founder of the IRC (third link) is rich because of his "NGO" and so are all of his friends. The executive salaries for savethechildren are upwards of half a million USD per year.

Donating to established charities is hardly ever going to have the desired positive impact. Just a PSA.

On that note: Alejandro, would passing money straight to you benefit you and your community in any meaningful way?

obviously it would be smarter to just send money straight to alejandro if he's comfortable with it

i went to the water and stared at the horizon and thought about the suffering people of this world and i fell to me knees
After changing my address in Paypal so I can't be tracked, sure, as I've said me personally am fine but I know plenty of people who would benefit and I am able to do the absolute HELL that is doing a money conversion in Venezuela and give it to at least a couple friends I know need it more than me.

All ONGs are trash and for self-benefit, I am not ashamed in sharing only my paypal for this, as this information has been known by those interested in my sets I do not feel I'm revealing too much.

Here it is in case anyone wants to donate.

As things have calmed down now I could probably make a follow-up post detailing everything going on so far, but I have to get bureaucratic as it's nothing in the streets, mostly cryptic politics and foreign dialogues, as well as a couple sprinkled cases of literal live streams of illegal break-ins by masked men claiming to be police who were sent to the houses of minor opposition representatives like Koddy Campos and María Oropeza.

And also the continued torture, abuse of multiple natures, and illegal imprisonment and detention of thousands of peaceful protesters.
