news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I remember that; I was actually weeping when the lady was crying about how she can't afford the meds she needs back home but in Cuba it's free (or at least cheap; I think she had to buy it, but for like basically nothing).
And like....if you don't want to deal with Cuba, then YOU don't deal with Cuba; leave other countries alone to have trade with them; all these sanctioned countries and it's like, just leave them alone for God's sake.
All these people who just want to live their lives in peace, and this vicious, unrelenting government can't just leave well enough alone; and you know what? If not for comprador governments in key nations in the global South, and vassals in Western Europe (or actually....Western Europe is a lost cause inherently; former colonial powers still have a colonial mindset), then the world could easily pressure our government to just stop. I recall reading about Saudi Arabia threatening to cut off oil (or maybe they went through with it) ages ago and you know what? We capitulated on Israel; the global South has so much power and I wish they would flex it; the Soviet Union's and Cuba's greatest gifts to the world was solidarity, the loss of the SU has been a catastrophe for mankind.
