This is the justification the Cuban government uses for silencing speech too.

We have an open border. If you truly have all this contempt, believe this communist sympathizer nonsense and other countries are better you would be the dumbest moron on earth to remain here.

Claims of systemic oppression qualify for asylum in any industrialized western democracy in the world, if what you claim is true the welcome mats are out all over the world, no visa required.

So are you a disingenuous liar, lazy or raid tier buffoon because people who are actually oppressed tend to get off their ass and move barring a restricted border.

Remember when you said cuban's aren't allowed to have internet?

I thought I should bring it up. Since it seems to me your actively avoiding me. You know, after I proved you wrong about it with a simple google search.
 

Whole lotta love

What exactly am I disingenuous about? I never mentioned open borders or systemic oppression. I'm responding to your claims about free speech in Cuba. Do you have any evidence to support your points or discredit mine? Or do you seriously think throwing out the last thing you heard on Tucker Carlson makes you right?

Sactions are the same thing as Chile when it was going socialist, unreasonable economic warfare. Not only that, same motive. To break their government.


Also the protests, were likely staged. Called a color protest.

I have you ignored because I find your IQ to be on par with a carrot, much like a flat earther I don't find you worth arguing with.

Ah, Jimbo and his ignorance is always good for an early morning chuckle. No mention of how global resource chains are also impacted for Cuba by the embargo, no mention about how the US influences other countries to not deal with Cuba, no mention of how the US has intervened in their government and economy directly via the CIA, and no mention of how this embargo has not obtained the supposed intended result, removal of communism in cuba, after a record breaking amount of decades. But at this point, Jimbo has all but outright stated "I don't care if it is just, I just want brown people dead for ever defying the USA!" so who is really surprised?

How do you expect a US (and allies) embargo not influencing the economic outlook of a nation directly south of your borders, during a pandemic? No, no it was not me that ate your cake, it was the dog - dont you see! I even painted it red and called it communist? Because I think, that McCarthyism was swell, and exactly as much as my tiny brain can master.

Martin Luther King’s Reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis
On October 24, 1962, as he was invited to speak at the Harvard Law School (a location that might have been receptive to the expression of doubts on the handling of the Cuban crisis), King was careful to stick to the theme of his speech, “The future of integration”, without touching on the international situation8. He also declined an approach by an emissary of the local student movement for nuclear disarmament – the “Tocsin” – to combine his rally with their own and address them jointly9. It is entirely plausible that the rationale for this refusal was to avoid to be dragged into a protest debate against White House foreign policy.
In another comment of those days, King, after confirming to the interviewer the inevitability of correlation between the international crisis and the domestic struggle for civil rights, added laconically: “I am convinced that the U.S. must take a moral offensive as well as military offensive”.10

  • 11 In May 1961, answering a letter he received from Barbara Lindsay, King had said: “I think our count (...)
  • 12 Adam Fairclough, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the War in Vietnam, in Michael Krenn, ed., The African (...)
As can be seen, all the declarations that King released during the course of the crisis were brief and without hints of dissent, and while not being enthusiastic, they steered clear of raising objections. This however was not due to any tendency to court the administration, as confirmed by both his previous public condemnation of the Bay of Pigs invasion (which had taken the form of a strongly critical statement and a signed petition)11 and his later protest of the US war in Vietnam (expressed on several occasions, including his famous speech of April 4, 1967)12.

See, this "motion" has a long tradition. :) Try to get someone caught up to say negative things about US foreign policy in cuba - and then hang an entire movement for it. :)

Its basically an operating manual standard. :)

Especially effective, as we know that the latest group of "prior non voters" Trump successfully mobilized during the last election are cuban migrants ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/what-s-behind-trump-s-gain-cuban-american-support-n1241601 ), we know are voting to keep "more migrants out" - to raise their perceived chances of success in border towns. Thats not a cuban thing, btw - you can see that around the world in migrant population when economic prospects are deemed not especially favourable.

So why not feed new republican voters from Cuba, with the notion that BLM is promoting communism?

Makes nothing but sense, doesnt it. :)
