I guess it's mundane at this point but on some level I'm still amazed that libs who (rightfully) complained about how the media framed anti-lockdown protests as being a bigger deal than they actually were will happily ignore their own logic when it comes to something similar happening in a country that's one of ~America's Enemies~

All these people ever talk about is how we need bipartisan solutions to reach across the aisle and bridge the divide when it comes to wealthy Republican politicians, but when it comes to half the country: let em die!

Even if they are one of the good people like us who voted Democrat that's what they get for living in Wyoming!

i think this is just coming down to the definition of 'directly organized', i'm worried about sounding like a crank by saying 'the cia is behind this'. because they clearly are, its just 'behind' means something different than sending in carlos intelligence-agencia to teach cuban exiles how to make bombs or whatever, but thats what people assume youre saying when you do

i guess i gotta stop worrying about being seen as a crank. im already seen as one just by virtue of being an actual socialist lol

One of the best examples of this was the flooding that hit the Carolinas in 2017 and you had a bunch of em posting loathsome reaction gifs on twitter of women drinking tea and such to stories of people drowning or otherwise having their lives destroyed. Then WHOOPS it turns out the areas affected were minority majority ones that voted blue since the whole RED STATE BAD BLUE STATE GOOD mentality is baby brained even if you ignore the inherent viciousness of hoping large populations suffer for voting wrong in a country with low turn out and multiple avenues of voter suppression.

this happened in february too when texas was experiencing that deep freeze that killed up to 900 people, twitter libs were like "im just sippin the tea over here" as if it was trumps base of car dealership owners who were freezing to death and not poor people.

Yeah, I'm not trying to jump you. You're just responding to a narrative that's being built to diminish any attempt to discuss US behind-the-scenes intervention.

There's definitely an online anarchist contingent coming together to muddy the waters here. Are people like this "CIA plants" or just useful idiots? Does it matter? This person doesn't even understand that I'm contradicting their point, but to be fair the black flag in my bio probably throws them off:

I wake up every day not knowing if my internet or power will work. It's a six month wait to see a dentist or a pulmonologist. I have no savings and if I lose my job I'm hosed because we have no safety net.

But at least I'm free, unlike those Cubans. We should definitely invade.

you're free to make a choice: either give all your money to blue cross blue shield or die. Cubans don't have that choice and thus are less free.

of course voting is important. just imagine what would've happened had more people voted for gore in 2000 or bernie in iowa in 2020. the institutional forces that invalidated those elections might have had to work harder to install their chosen victors.

Even if voting doesn’t matter I like to do it because it’s 15 minutes out of my day id just spent posting on something awful dot com and I enjoy writing in hilarious joke names for uncontested races.

other way around. If the Cuban protesters are valid, then so were the 1/6 participants, and the FBI trying to track them down and arrest them represents authoritarianism and a crackdown on legitimate political dissent
