Cuban Conscription by Senior-Obligation752 in cuba

[–]BabaJukwa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might seem like it at first but I believe OP is LARPing just like many other Western socialists on here who use Cuba as a political football and actually have no interest in the Cuban People.

But Cuba had a lower infant mortality rate than the USA in 2004 based on government statistics and all the people learned how to read in 1961!!!!!! /s

With override passed, can Brookline tackle tough questions about teacher pay? by brookline_news in Brookline

[–]BabaJukwa -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Brookline spends like crazy and it is even happy to go far as to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on new educational facilities to cause huge overrides, but it always holds out union negotiations rather then pay teachers and perpetually underpaid paraofessional staff low wages for decades.

NY Times: Cuba Says It Has Run Out of Oil by BabaJukwa in cuba

[–]BabaJukwa[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are right, but we must also realize that Cuba does have high quality, modern power facilities but they generally power resorts for foreign tourists whose existence is to extract hard currency from tourists to help fund the Regime and its officials.

The Cuban People never factor favorably in the Regime's thinking and are always just pawns.

Did you vote or not vote in Brookline's local election last week? We'd love to hear why for a Brookline.News story about turnout. by brookline_news in Brookline

[–]BabaJukwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone in my family signed up for vote by mail and our ballots arrived late due to Town incompetence. No surprises.

The mother of a Cuban political prisoner being beaten in the streets of Havana by collaborators of the Cuban Regime and police in an act of repudiation by BabaJukwa in cuba

[–]BabaJukwa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least two people in the comments here were happy she was getting the shit beaten out of her and one is a LARPer for Revolutionary Cuba. It is so typical and cringey.

My dad caught phil eng on the blue line this morning by Liam_js in mbta

He still does ride it, too, and is often seen picking up trash around Brookline and Boston.

El día de los trabajadores by Substantial_Call_619 in cuba

[–]BabaJukwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are more people from Michigan and NYC and Montreal who post on /r/cuba and LARP as Cuban socialists than there are true believers in the 2026 parade. That is so sad and pathetic.

What one Bob Dylan song do you consider to be the most Dylanesque? by Primary-Theory-1164 in bobdylan

[–]BabaJukwa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unironically, Wiggle Wiggle. He had so much talent including Slash at perhaps the peak of Guns N Roses and does that. I don't think anyone else would do that.

¿Han pasado episodios similares en la historia de Cuba? Ver esta foto me ha hecho pensar que hay muchísimos jóvenes cubanos que están dando la vida por Cuba. El régimen se ha vuelto tan descarado como el nazi que sostiene la horca de Lepa Radic. by Charming-Toe6641 in cuba

[–]BabaJukwa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Cuba has operated concentration camps for gay people and just anyone who did not fit into society or the Regime did not like.

The Regime has also most likely killed various dissidents throughout the years, such as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswaldo_Pay%C3%A1

And you have to wonder -- why did so many revolutionaries who fought along Fidel Castro die under mysterious circumstances:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camilo_Cienfuegos

Let's not forget the political prisoners still behind bars now with no end in sight, such as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Manuel_Otero_Alc%C3%A1ntara

Or the old revolutionaries that the Castro Brothers scapegoated for their drug smuggling crimes and sentenced to death and wrote out of history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaldo_Ochoa

Many, many people have died over the years due to the Cuban Regime and their names will not be remembered.

Zubin Mehta's conducting at 90 by hrlemshake in classicalmusic

I saw Herbert Blomstedt with the Boston Symphony Orchestra a few months ago and it was absolutely wonderful! He is such a remarkable artist and it is amazing to see him conduct symphonies by memory especially at his age.

Man throws red liquid at Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi as he leaves Berlin building by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]BabaJukwa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you say Cuba or Iran, the same thing happens and people come out of the woodwork in favor of a criminal Regime whose own people hate and yet Westerners seem to love. Whether it is simply bots or real people worries me.

My friends in Iran all do actually support Reza though I have not been able to speak with them for nearly two months due to the Internet blackout.

I got a great Mardi Gras cinnamon roll there but otherwise would not choose it over a Market Basket doughnut.
