I like it there. The people are nice and welcoming and the beaches are phenomenal. The pandemic absolutely rocked the country. I came back after the pandemic and there were rolling blackouts, not enough protein, even more limits on food options.
They had a big revolt and protests against the gov over the way they handled the pandemic (see articles on Wikipedia for more context). I explained this revolt as told to me by my bus driver. That got me banned from Lemmy.ml (in a post asking what’s going on with Cuba).
Even in this thread if you see some of the replies here, there are lunatics claiming everything I said is fake and that I have ulterior motives. I’m shocked lol. I’m just a dude from Canada who went to Cuba a couple times on holiday.
Don’t need a link. Uighur “genocide” 99% cited is Zenz, founder of Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, a U.S. “communism bad mkay?” think tank. Mostly propagated by BBC, fuelled by the crumbling and sore Brit empire.
Lemmy.world communities will ban for pushing back against the western narrative, and pointing out their struggles are due to illegal sanctions, and not any failures of communism. Lemmy.ml communities won’t tolerate the willful ignorance.
You have physically been to a website? And you call me delusional? I was talking about lemmy.world, but we could always talk about Cuba as I’ve been there too.
Edit: I don’t think I will actually bother with this. May your understanding of the world surpass your understanding of context. Good bye.
When I bought cigars factory made, smuggled out and sold in shacks in Havanna I doubt it was part of the staged tour - Considering the staged tour was in the factory itself and we were told it was strickly forbidden to buy cigars straight from the factory workers. So we became friendly with them instead and met up after they finished their shift and went to their home shack where we had dinner together, dealt Cohibas and Romeo y Julieta and talked about how life in Cuba was.
But why ask? Have I even said anything about Cuba in this thread beyond that I’ve been there too? Perhaps you’re just an idiot?
As if lemmy.world isn’t a total pile of shit
I’ve never been banned from lemmy.world for describing my own experience when I was in Cuba 🙃
Me neither, but I have never been to Cuba.

I was banned from !world@lemmy.world simply for asking for evidence for claims made about China.

China has plenty of problems. Xin jiang ain’t it.
Ditto

Not the flex you think it is.
Willful ignorance is me talking about my lived experience when I was in Cuba? 😆 go outside.
“I went to Gaza twice in the past six years and the beach resorts were utter shit.”
Not understanding the context of that experience is willful ignorance. Read a book.
If that’s your gold standard for a pile of shit, have you considered that you’ve been fooled to be content with a polished turd?
Lmao I’ve physically been there twice in the past 6 years and seen how things are with my own eyes.
You and your delusional friends will never convince me that my own lived experience is a lie haha. What a waste of your own time and energy.

And you are sure you weren’t given a staged tour that has nothing to do with the reality of most people?
