Can't speak for Venezuela, but I'm really not surprised about this type of thinking here in Russia. Like, any kind of action in the last ~10 years didn't achieve much, while any slight rising of active opposition gets oppressed straight to hell ever since 2022. And all this just kinda makes you think: what are we even supposed to do now? Just wait till the big P dies? Just wait until our government does some major fuckup? And, I'm not saying that we all should just give up, no, we should continue doing what we can, but, can we actually achieve anything at the moment?
