Higher education isn't nonsense, it's just not a lifetime pass to enlightenment. If you went to undergrad in the 70s and haven't picked up a book since you're probably about as well informed about the world as if you completed high school in the 70s and haven't picked up a book since.
The sentiment is right, but we need to retire the "Cuban slave owner" meme.
The problem, of course, is that there were no slave owners in 20th-century Cuba. Think about when you weren't as far left as you are now, and you read about something horrible the U.S. did. You probably looked it up, and sure enough the U.S. actually did that. This enhanced the credibility of the source and made you less skeptical of the leftist positions you hadn't already adopted. But this works in reverse when you have an obvious falsehood like "there were slave owners in 1950s Cuba." That shit drives some people away, or makes them skeptical of everything else they read from leftist sources.
And there's no reason to lie about pre-Revolution Cuba, because it was horrible even without slavery. A good source on this is JFK, who (before he became the most open-minded president ever) was certainly no friend to Cuba:
In 1953 the average Cuban family had an income of $6.00 a week. Fifteen to twenty per cent of the labor force was chronically unemployed.
Only a third of the homes in the island even had running water, and in the years which preceded the Castro revolution this abysmal standard of living was driven till lower as population expansion out-distanced economic growth...
But instead of holding out a helping hand of friendship to the desperate people of Cuba, nearly all our aid was in the form of weapons assistance - assistance, which merely strengthened the Batista dictatorship - assistance which completely failed to advance the economic welfare of the Cuban people...
Secondly, in a manner certain to antagonize the Cuban people, we used the influence of our Government to advance the interests of and increase the profits of the private American companies, which dominated the island's economy. At the beginning of 1959 United States companies owned about 40 percent of the Cuban sugar lands - almost all the cattle ranches - 90 percent of the mines and mineral concessions - 80 percent of the utilities - and practically all the oil industry - and supplied two-thirds of Cuba's imports...
The third, and perhaps most disastrous of our failures, was the decision to give stature and support to one of the most bloody and repressive dictatorships in the long history of Latin American repression. Fulgencio Batista murdered 20,000 Cubans in seven years - a greater proportion of the Cuban population than the proportion of Americans who died in both World Wars, and he turned Democratic Cuba into a complete police state - destroying every individual liberty...
[U.S.] Administration spokesmen publicly praised Batista - hailed him as a staunch ally and a good friend - at a time when Batista was murdering thousands, destroying the last vestiges of freedom, and stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the Cuban people, and we failed to press for free elections.
That's from a staunch anti-communist who would go on to invade Cuba -- even he couldn't paint pre-Revolution Cuba in a better light than this. There's no reason at all to make up shit about slaves when even a cursory look at the Batista dictatorship shows how horrific it was.
Most ordinary people will laugh in your face if you try to sell them on chattel slavery being the same as wage labor in poor conditions. It doesn't matter in the slightest how correct you think that comparison is -- it's not going to get you very far, and it will cause some people to simply tune you out. You're setting yourself up for failure for no reason at all.
It's much easier to sell people on how terrible Batista-era Cuba was. Pick your struggle sessions.
Liberals just want the elite to have voting rights, just like in 1776
I've thrown alligators at people in a couple of the blue counties too, Florida is just like that 🤷♀️
Right wingers would share the same map and also say that these areas are the hubs of "culture" lol
"Economic wellspring," knowing quite a few people in those areas. laughs at delusion
Honestly anyone who can physically throw an alligator should just be president.
Yup exactly, those are the bigger population centers in FL. The unlabeled county in the middle is where Gainesville (and UF) is iirc and the little microdong county to the west of Tampa is where St Pete and Clearwater are (and is a population center in its own right, not just Tampa's sprawl)
Liberals jerking themselves off at the idea of being modern Athens and not knowing what happened to Athens, name a more iconic duo.
These are the people that half of you on here argue with us all the time that they can supposedly be radicalized. Get a good look at that picture. They fucking hate the poor.
there is a huge difference between this kind of contemptuous lib and a bleeding heart yet misdirected lib imo
"We must purge the country of those of low cultural standards to create a stronger national character" - the libs and the fascists, both unironically.
