Sect of state Marco Rubio confirms Cuba is next on the list of governments the Trump regime is planning to overthrow. This is empire. This is modern day colonialism.

I popped in on r/CanadaLeft and I’m not gonna bother posting screenshots cuz I think that kind of dunking is a bit tacky and unproductive, but based on what I’m seeing it will be very very easy for them to (further) puppeteer the country by simply framing it as “Trump’s Fanboy Wins Election”.
It’s Limited Hang, just truthful and appealing enough of a narrative for radlibs to buy into, but distracting enough to make it seem like something that can be solved with more elections and more posting about elections. There are definitely users there who are on the level enough to acknowledge what we’ve already talked about here but good lord are there a ton of people there who need to come to jesus about what Canada actually is and not what they imagine it to be. And maybe learn about some history every once in a while that doesn’t come from a Heritage Minute, goddamn.
It’s hard for people to accept that they live under the dictatorship of capital and there’s no action they can take within the rules of the system that will actually be meaningful. It’s a hard pill to swallow when you’ve been conditioned all your life that you live in a democracy and all you have to do is vote harder if you don’t like what’s happening. I expect that people will cling on to that for a while yet.
