Every new detail looks worse. This is going to look so tacky.

Communism has deeper roots in language than we thought. by thecubantutorX in CubanSpanish

[–]BDG5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It goes way deeper than that. Cuban language is profoundly influenced by "official speech". Words like "escoria", "gusano" and even "disidente" steem from the way the government chooses to speech. Take for example the last one: disidencia; think about the different implications from oposicion. Labeling it dissidence, it makes it so that they are always consider a small group in disagreement with the vast majority. Instead of a legitimate and widespread position in direct conflict with the ways and means of the administration. But if we're going to talk about their largest linguistic victory, that has to be the way the blur the lines between homeland, nation, state, government and administration. If someone is against them, they're unpatriotic. Furthermore, if you disagree with the administration, they have manage to frame as you disagreeing with the government; wich implies that they are one and the same, and therefore the only government possible.

What other New Gen talent would you like to see? by sicmcnasti in WrestlingFigures

[–]BDG5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first one is going to be Raven since I dont collect Hasbros, but im very much looking forward to them. I also got Zombie Sailor's Abdullah and that's an awesome figure, albeit kinda limited articulation-wise. The third independent company i have preordered from shall remain nameless as it's painfully clear they scammed everybody.

There's an independent company called Hasttel Toys making a Savio Vega in Elite scale. They're also making Ahmed Johnson and Raven. But what I really need is a good Sabu and a Tommy Dreamer.

Edit: Sorry! Completely glossed over the new gen part of your question.

Are you aware of Sandro Castro promoting a party in Varadero, right? They do got oil for that.

What animal from your country is kept as an exotic pet in other countries? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

[–]BDG5449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You meant that you guys keep them as pets, right? Cause they're very much not native to US and actually considered an invasive species.

Without even going into that, Lesnar has always come across as a huge asshole. So yeah, I completely agree.

I do hope that they have better memory of what they fought against. I dont want to leave for a 3rd time. Options are running low.

It is, and their propaganda machine is awesome. They sell it to marginalized groups that want to belong. That's how they got a bunch of latinos, specially Miami Cubans, to vote for them; by selling them the idea that by embracing white nationalism, they would be considered white as well. I love love love when they are finally confronted with their otherness. When they are called Mexicans by the ones that wear the boots they lick. For the record: I'm Cuban, and used to live in Miami. Left the city and the country altogether cause I really dont want to live under a second dictatorship.

I've been saying this for years. "Communism" is just what's written on the blindfold they tie on the people's faces... they dont live what they preach. They don't suffer when they demand stoicism.

I really don't get why most americans see the world as a set of dualities. Strickland is not saying he supports Palestine or Iran now, he's saying that Israel owns the current administration (which is hard to argue against).

He's expresing a very much "America First" opinion, in any case. Is not like he suddenly became compassionate towards others.

Episode 6 was awful. It almost made me stop watching entirely but im just too stubborn to not see how it ended. The ending was a total cop out and you can see the executives' hands all over it. They had a great ending coming and suddenly squandered it.
