The answer is probably not, because I doubt I'm going to have any response that deflates a lifetime of American culture and propaganda, but I'd like to know if y'all have made any success.
I ask because earlier today a person I know came to me, asking if I knew about what's going on in Cuba. I answered there's a kind of small anti-government protest alongside much larger pro-government demonstrations. This was immediately flipped as proof of Cuba's tyranny, since a large pro-government demonstration means everyone's afraid of being jailed or executed. I tried mentioning Cuba has a pretty popular government, the vote on the constitution seems proof of that, but that also just gets flipped as proof of tyranny.
I don't know, it was frustrating and I otherwise respect this person. Have y'all been having trouble?
Yea you can tell them to fuck off! Jk,. I would point to Haiti why are these 2 countries in crisis one backed by the United States and the other embargoed by the United States? Because we want to make Cuba another failed US capitalist satellite state. It's proven by history we do not give a shit about dictatorship, or the general welfare- we only care about our foreign policy objectives. Look at our so called allies Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, India to name a few. The people you're talking to probably know as much too. People believe what is expedient to them and their material interests.
Oh yeah. Should have listed Columbia in those US allies- implicated in assassinating Moise. Very ironic because Columbia has had huge protests in the past few months and we heard fuck all about it. But, once again our foreign policy objectives are to maintain and increase US dominance and exterminate any ideological opponents. That's why its Cuba instead of Columbia, Bolivia, Chile, Haiti etc.
Whenever I saw the Colombian protests mentioned on Spanish language MSM it was talked about much in the same way BLM is talked about by the MSM. It was like "LOOK AT ALL THE LOOTERS AND RIOTERS." And "The police say blah blah blah." And then tucked all the way at the end of the segment "Oh yeah, this is why people are protesting, whatever."
Coincidentally enough this person I was speaking with earlier today is of Colombian descent.
I did mention the huge protests in America last summer, which did give them some pause to reconsider. I might try going with that angle in the future.
