Thanks! It's more of an evolution of myself over time, back in my Reddit days years ago I used to be such a debatebro. Now I try to be more chill and focus on education and unity, though when the obviously bad-faith users swarm in I try to call them out on that moreso than trying to focus on education. Sometimes I get great questions that help me reconsider things, sometimes people thank me over DMs or in comments, and either way it's a great feeling.

Thanks for the support!

Hi I'm a lurker and I appreciated the responses.

Never really looked too deep on Cuba beyond what is obviously forced into my face by American education/media/"news" etc...

So interesting to see a dissenting opinion, I support socialism/communism tho I wish there were better examples of communism working to point to, as if the west didn't actively work against it all the time lol.

But it is fair to say I think that it is a bit concerning how often it has devolved into essentially dictatorships of one kind or another, but basically since Reagan it's not like we've actually had a honest legislature/election process.
