Cuba's internet cutoff: A go-to tactic to suppress dissent

Cubans facing the country’s worst economic crisis in decades took to the streets over the weekend. In turn, authorities blocked social media sites in an apparent effort to stop the flow of information into, out of and within the beleaguered nation.

Cuba’s internet cutoff: A go-to tactic to suppress dissent

Restricting internet access has become a tried-and-true method of stifling dissent by authoritarian regimes around the world, alongside government-supported disinformation campaigns and propaganda. On the extreme side, regimes like China and North Korea exert tight control over what regular citizens can access online. Elsewhere, service blockages are more limited, often cutting off common social platforms around elections and times of mass protests.

We should trade all the people who want to come to the US for all the antifa and BLM that want to live under communism .

I think that deal works out for both of us.

They are not Marxists or Communists. They are degenerates of self-indulgent Western society. Carl Marx or any other bearded Marxist from Friedrich Engels to Fidel Castro had nothing to do with it. Perversion is not an ideology. This is a product of Western capitalist society. People need to own up.

Is that what happened in Venezuela too? Zimbabwe?

 

[holdover]

Only elections can determine the will of the people. CIA staged protests by criminals and addicts will not work. It didn't work in Hong Kong, it didn't work in Venezuela, it didn't work in Belarus. CIA funding needs to be cut. It only creates problems around the world and they backfire in a big way.

But it did work in Tunisia, Libya , Egypt. almost in Syria , Iran, But I agree with you

There are pride parades in Venezuela and Zimbabwe? This is what my post was referring to.

No, they are just going to sit around and let fudge-packers at the CIA plunge their country into civil war.
Our intervention in Latin America created corrupt shit-holes from which people are fleeing by tenth of thousands and dying in hot desert. Congratulations! At least in Cuba people are kept healthy and educated.

Go hide from communists jackass.

 

[Robin]

I didn't realize how deeply you held you communist beliefs and thought in past comments that surely he must be trying to satirize that wicked philosophy, but now I understand, you actually believe in that murderous tripe.
I fought them once and didn't hide then, I will fight you again when the time comes.

[gun_slinger_boy]

Are there any other places on earth that weren't covered in this thread that we can be educated on that are so much better than the US even though it's citizens would literally die trying to get here?

I don't have any strong feelings about communism. I don't see it as something positive and it certainly wasn't the biggest evil as painted by indoctrinated idiots in this country. For many countries it was just a stage to a better future, for others it wasn't. It had its positives and negatives. Anti-communist hysteria and the lives it cost and the consequences were worse by far and immoral. This is why there is a need in this country to continuously lie and exagerate about communism. To justify all the evil that was done before, during and after the cold war.

Only if we can include every elected official that has voted for a overreach of government or progressive policy.

Every immigrant group in this country had a sizable percentage of people who didn't like it here and went back.

 

[Robin]

Then go.

We build walls to keep people out.

Communists build walls to keep people in.

That should tell you enough right there.

 

[soylentBlue]

I worked with a guy from Laos that - after witnessing communists desecrating temples - swore an oath to kill a communist before breakfast every day. If his stories are to be believed, he was really good at sneaking into a camp while they slept, slitting a few throats, and getting out without being seen.
He ended up on a terrorist watchlist for helping to finance the smuggling of anti-communist literature into Laos - that much I know is true.

We live better, therefore we are a better country is an overused non sequitur.

Oh yeah? What percentage? Is the percentage that went back higher than the ones that chose to stay? Did they stop coming all together or do they continue to come year after year after year even to this day?

We live better, therefore we are a better country is an overused non sequitur.

So what matrix would one use to decide which country is better? For instance how would I decide if I should go live in Canada or North Korea? Hmmmm.

I heard many stories from people who came to this country to escape justice and spent the rest of their lives trying to justify their past by slandering their homeland. These were mostly Nazi collaborators and war criminals from Eastern Europe. The smart ones simply didn't talk about it.

Is there a point to this drivel.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Drivel? They're questions to something you brought up. You clearly don't have anything to defend your commie simp nonsense. You're dismissed.

 

[Tisto]

Calling people "narrow minded, indoctrinated, and jackasses" when they have made no personal attacks against you is not only childish, it reflects poorly on any actual arguments you may have supporting your cause. I could tell you to GFY, but I'm classier than that. I will continue make reasoned arguements supporting my position.

The demands for freedom in Cuba will cause the regime to assist in the disappearance of 40 to 50 THOUSAND citizens. The regime will do whatever they feel necessary in order to quash the rebellion and remain in power. I'm sure that 40,000 or 50,000 is just a statistic that you're willing to accept. You'll even find some twisted way to rationalize it. The truth is, Communism has killed more of it's own citizens than any other form of government. Dictators do not change, no matter what country they rule over.

 

[spat]

We live better, therefore we are a better country is an overused non sequitur.

What metric would you choose to evaluate which country is "better" ?

Be very careful how you choose it, it would be hard to defend a choice that leads to North Korea being the best on the planet for instance.

 

[CaseHardened]

JOE BIDEN should rot in Hell for not helping these people.

 

[CaseHardened]

If I were Joe Biden, I will be honest.

I'd send an overwhelming military force to Cuba right now and free these people.

And fuck the consequences.

 

[Mosinitis]

Fuck these people and the CIA horse they rode in on. Let Cuba chart its on future.

Willing to bet the Marxists in the CIA are propping up the Communists, not the insurgents.

In case you hadn't noticed, the CIA (and most of the rest of the federal bureaucracy) is infested with Marxists anymore.

They're globalists now, they haven't been pro American in decades.

That's a Chilean scenario.
More people were killed by anti-Communist fanatics just in WWII.

Mao and Stalin alone killed more of their own citizens than probably every other regime in history put together.


I'm also not sure who is an "anti-communist fanatic" in WWII. The NAZI's ?

It's true the NAZI's were both anti-communist (sort of) and were fanatics, but they were not fanatic about their anti-communism. Plus, Hitler was a rank amateur compared to Stalin when it comes to atrocities.
