I’m celebrating the collapse of the Cuban government, not the starvation of people. Don’t act like the government was all nice and dandy to the people

We’re forcing the country into economic collapse just so their government will change, and that makes us somehow better than their government

According to a 2024 report by the Cuban Observatory of Human Rights, 7 in 10 Cubans skip breakfast, lunch, or dinner due to lack of money or food shortages, while nearly 89% of the population currently lives in extreme poverty.

So naturally the solution is make this problem even worse ourselves and then blame it on their own government

So either 1. Let them keep starving and do nothing, or 2. Unfortunately increase it temporarily, but have it solved long term

Lift the 70 year long embargo, do business and trade with the Cuban state, and bring them into our fold peacefully. Don’t force it into a failed state so ppl starve and so our taxes now have to rebuild it

91% of the Cubans disapprove of the government’s economic and social management, while only 4% rated it as ā€œfavorable.ā€ This isn’t all the fault of the American boogeyman

did you know public polling isn’t available in Cuba and that the polls are mostly taken by asking Cuban Americans in Florida? Of course the people not under the government’s rule will more freely advocate for anti-government policy, it doesn’t directly affect them

Yeah and why do they do that… the blockade. We’ve had Cuba cut off from basically everything for like 60 years with small exceptions. It’s literally our fault, we could’ve stopped doing it anytime we wanted in the last 10 presidents.

Cuban Americans in Florida are also the second coming of the nazis. Crazy, but people don’t like when you take away their serfs.

Like I’m not exactly a fan of the Cuban government (bourgeois party members living in mansions while the rest of the country feel the weight of the embargo), but it’s so clearly mostly our fault that conditions are so bad.
