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?
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."
