Someone told me about something called “the Nuremberg trials” the other day. Apparently Soviet Russia, with US backing, just decided to murder a group of anti-communists
:che-smile:
You're laughing. A fascist who supported a fascist dictatorship until the end was executed, and you're laughing
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...
boy good thing we don't do that sort of thing here amirite
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.
These public trials and executions were held to the overwhelming approval of the public, pretty much for the purpose of mollifying widespread popular fury toward former Batistiano thugs and terrorists who had made the masses suffer and killed their relatives for years. Historians believe they most likely prevented a bloodbath of mob justice that would have killed hundreds more indiscriminately, and the trials were the method by which the revolutionaries established their authority and re-established some semblance of rule of law.
If you were tried and executed because of these trials, it's because you were a close collaborator with the murderous Batista regime. "Police chief of Santa Clara", yeah, I fucking bet he was.
It's either a centralized thing like this, or the widespread people's taking their own justice as seen in the Cultural Revolution. I'm sure if Cuba was bigger, it would have been more like the Cultural Revolution.

If the French Revolution had ended with the decapitation of the aristocracy, liberals would still be whining and moaning about how horrible it was, while casually breezing over the multiple world wars the English and French aristocracy kicked off against each other.
I mean, Jesus fucking Christ, imagine if the French Revolution had been even half as clean and orderly as the Cuban Revolution?
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Even funnier, Cuba wouldn't even declare itself socialist for several more years. Raul and Che were definitely communist in 59, but Castro took more time warming up to it
Revisionist history in action.
Now Batista is the good guy? Fuck Americans and most importantly, fuck gusanos
Now Batista is the good guy?
No no no. Nobody said anything about Batista. Just my dad, the guy in this picture who was viciously murdered by an angry mob of communists for loving freedom too much.
Quit trying to change the subject, tankie!
Had something like this occur at work, saw a book about the fictionalised story of real life Cuban American actress Estelita Rodriguez and the synopsis said something like "... and her father, who refused to leave and was executed by the brutal Castro regime."
So I looked it up and turned out her father was the Chief of Police under Batista lmfao get fucked
Emmy award winning journalist
Just want to point out that this is what this journalist brags about in his Twitter profile. Local Emmys are a huge joke and the fact that this guy starts off his profile with it is like some high school student bragging on the fact he made it on one of those "Who's Who of American Students" lists. I used to listen to a radio show with three local TV news guys and they would goof on local Emmys all the time. No one takes them seriously, they talked about how they and every TV journalist they knew who voted on them would just fill in blanks and send it in without actually doing any work or research.
Edit: lol I think this nerd just took down this tweet.
Make Cuba Great Again and variants thereof have become fairly popular with the Gusano set
quick Google of Cornelia Rojas produced this.
