    Post this on :reddit-logo: /r/politics and see how quickly it gets shadowbanned

      They have a thread on there about Mexico asking for the US to remove the embargo and it's just a bunch of people coping by saying Biden can't do anything about it and then after about 5 comments it turns into communist no food jokes and more of the weird assertions that Cubans have explicitly bad cuisine in general for some fucking reason, except the ones in New York and Miami of course

      Absolutely maddening. I spent a decent amount of time living aboard a boat as a child/adolescent in Cuba and its people are some of my fondest memories in my entire life. This shit bums me the fuck out.

        It's so weird, like these people just totally forgot that the president can just not do what Congress tells him to unless they impeach him over it, despite all of the bullshit we went through with Trump. They just forgot! :matt-jokerfied:

          They want to follow the rules, because not following the rules would mean they have to put some effort into politics

        Biden can’t do anything about it

        "we need to fight fascism!" vs "I want to be able to ignore the ongoing imperialist genocide so I can go to brunch with my soulless petit bourgeois Karen friends"

        A cuba circlejerk subreddit might be useful in countering this. The circlejerk subreddits tend to have a good effect on spreading anti-jerk messaging and creating rhetorical responses people use to push back against it.

            I really think things on reddit have to be named for the purpose they perform. Enough_vaush_spam worked so well because the name was correct. I think the name needs to be in the circlejerk zone or it just won't work for people.
