    He's actually mentioned on the Battle of Santa Clara Wikipedia page as one of the commanders under Batista. So, yeah, Fidel should have killed him twice

    Also the Gusanos claiming Cuban heritage while being 2+ generations out of anyone in their family living in Cuba strike me so similarly as the white ladies who claim indigenous heritage while being overwhelmingly white and never interacting with any indigenous people.

      They whine over like 24 literal fascists that were executed with mass popular support. These fucks ran death camps for leftists and proles...

      And yes, they're all white lol. Cuba was a heavily racialized colony with the whiter Spanish/American settlers ruling over the natives and black slaves. People seem to think "Cuban" is a race and not a nationality.

      It's like saying "I support BLM and the Proud Boys because they're American and I stand with the American people"

        My dad was talking about how Castro had people executed and I asked "for what reason?" and he went super quiet after that lol

            I hate doing it, cos he's an otherwise nice and genuine person but his politics are just so libshit.

            Like, does he just think Castro just woke up one day and decided to be evil?

              Same here, but at least your dad didn't pull the whole "he threw gay people into the ocean" shit when you argued with him about Castro. To his queer son, which feels like a shitty way to make a point. At least Castro apologized to the LGBT community, unlike anyone in the Republican or Democratic parties...

      I mean, I've never once heard an American express sympathy for the thousands of British soldiers who died in the Revolutionary War here. Revolutions are violent, why is that a surprise.

      Reading that first paragraph is a journey from based to cringe.

      Morgan was born in Cleveland, Ohio, to Alexander Morgan and German-American Loretta Morgan (née Ruderth).[2] Raised in an affluent Toledo neighborhood, he dropped out of high school and was often in trouble with the law.[3] Morgan joined the United States Army after World War II and married Darlene Edgerton in 1946. The marriage was annulled after a year and a half. He was stationed with Company B, 35th Infantry, in Japan, where he fathered a son with a German-Japanese hostess named Setsuko Takeda. He went AWOL, was arrested, and escaped from custody by overpowering a guard. Recaptured, he was court-martialed in 1948, received a dishonorable discharge, and spent over two years in a federal prison.[2]

      Dude just wanted to fuck and fight I guess.

      It's crazy how fast one becomes essentially not related to their forebearers. I mean, it makes sense from a mathematical perspective but humans are bad at perceiving big numbers and thinking about exponentials/logarithms. There's more on this wiki page. Essentially, you're great great grandparents are about as related to you as any random person, or so. Or maybe it's you're triple great grandparents... blood lines are pseudo-science, is what I'm saying.
