    Wow. Apparently legalised same-sex marriage and adoption in 2022.

        I wouldn’t be so reductionist less one become blind to their flaws. American sanctions have crippled them, and are their primary problem, but even without the sanctions they’d have problems. Though they’d also likely have a reasonable quality of life in that scenario

            Yes I understood what was written but that doesn’t make sense and is an insane blanket statement.

            If it would’ve been stated that the major problem is the sanctions or the most significant one, maybe/probably true. But to try and compress the complexity of any nation down like this is very negligent and borderline evil as you judge that literally nobody in the country can have a justified problem with their government or how things are run etc pp. Which is straight up insane and condescending.

            Edit: didn’t immediately get that this account is a different one, doesn’t change anything but the grammar though

              Is this a reasonable response to what I said? Obviously there are other problems that affect Cubans, use context clues my dude. Was what I said insane? I would characterize your response to the mild statement I made as more insane… It’s evil and condensing to describe the economic suppression of an entire nation by the US, because you lack historical reading for it to “make sense” to you?

              It’s evil and condensing that you admit you don’t understand the argument being made, and immediately jump up rejecting it and attacking the person making it.

              Name a problem that’s uniquely Cuban and can’t directly be attributed to American sanctions or straight up terrorism.

              Edit: downvote and run away from the discussion. Put your head in the sand. Keep giving your life away to capitalists as they oppress entire nations and refuse to even learn something new.
