#cuba what the fuck

[vavandeveresfan]

Me watching Gen Z saying they're Marxist Socialist anti-Capitalists, just like we did in the 60s.

SOoooo . . . .

How many of you kids are giving up your material possessions and sharing everything, EVERYTHING with your community?

How many of you are no longer buying new shit?

At least we had the courage of our stupid convictions and tried to live a communal, anti-Capitalist, non-materialist life. Like this:

We only bought clothes and other things from thrift stores, didn't have electricity or, in some cases, running water, shared everything, including partners, and grew our own food.

Then read Das Kapital to the kids by lamplight.

And after it all fell apart, because none of that shit really works with real people, the Marxist-Socialist-anti Capitalists became this:

If you want to convince people that you really, truly believe the shit you're proclaiming, go as far as we hippies did. Stop shopping at Target and drinking fucking Starbucks, give up your car, and move in with 12 other people, share housing, have NO personal belongings, grow your own food, make your own bread, and wear clothes from Goodwill.

Otherwise you're just posers, trying to get attention.

#markist #socialist #communism #Gen Z has no fucking idea what these really mean #go talk to someone who left Cuba #former baby hippie #I remember the 60s and 70s #and all those students who proclaimed they were Marxists #who then became Yuppies

taco bell or carne asada

CARNE ASADA ALL THE WAY !! my bestiebrotherguy introduced me to a bunch of paldean food [he's part talorian/paldean!!!] and it sorta expanded my tastes in food jdshfjsh

SO YEAHHH!!! carne asada >:DD

#// Talor = Cuba!! i finally came up with a name for the cuba fakemon region... also i love carne asada so fucking much dude #// Talor comes from “que tal” meaning “what's up” and “calor” which means “hot” since holy shit is it fucking blazing there /lh #// which is funny since the cuban spanish dialect equivalent to “what's up” is “que bola” and not “que tal” djsfhdsj #// game freak I beg you please make a cuba region next... or anywhere in latin america please.......... /lh #crispin blogs #ask crispin #rotomblr #pokeblogging #pkmn irl #pokemon irl #real pokemon

Bro how the fuck do I have roughly 16-24 readings (some 15-30 pages each, some webpages), a novel to read, 3 assignments, 3 forum posts, and some additional independent research all due in the next 4 days. I haven't even procrastinated????

#i've been super on top of it!! what the FUCK #ONE of these tasks would be too overwhelming #pity me #meanwhile my BIL and SIL are doing a gigantic honeymoon in chile and europe lol fuck them #they're going to rome the BASTARDS #or is it cuba not chile? i cant remember but FUCK OOFFFFFFFFFFFF FUCK OFF !!!!!!!!!

[cupuasu]

was looking at the school systems in latin america and i think our ministries of education should come together n decide some sort of standard fr bc what a mess

#if they could come together to make our car plate look the same ugly ass shit they should come together to do something useful as well #they should copy paste whatever finland is smoking for basic school n then steal whatever cuba is doing in high education #me personally if i could choose i'd divide the basic years in 4 phases #first (til 4yo) second (til 8yo) third (til 12yo) fourth (16yo) #which is similar to what we have but its divided evenly now. also they should make the school hours shorter #no fucking person should be sitting in a chair for over 6h #three months of vacation is a perfect number to be honest (december january july) #oh n we should actually have decent extracurricular activities OR we should b able 2 choose the classes we need #sure make a standard curriculum for ppl who dont know what theyre doing w their life but also let the rest of us bitches choose #i DID NOT need that many chemistry or biology classes. i was not interested then and im not interested now #and also that insane amount of math classes was unnecessary too. even if i use math in uni now #a perfect curriculum for me would be 25% language 25% history + geography 25% math 10% art or PE 5% sciences #these bitches had me doing 40% math 40% portuguese 20% all sciences + random philosophy #oh n while i think a test to get into university is good it should not be like a straight line bc every student is different #for example when i did ENEM the first time i was baffled on how insane the math and sciences part were #(i love the language history and geography part tho) like i think we should also be able to choose that #like when we sign up we say what uni and course we wanna take and then do a test that has nothing to do with it #we should be able to get a personalized test from the already existing database. for example #if im going to do architecture then my test needs more math physics and history. but not as much language geography and fuckass chemistry #even though i LOVE language and geography #wait this rant went too personal already. anyway change the schooling system #and also fix the way teachers are being taught to teach and also pay them better and fund better infrastructure #cos literally til when are politicians gonna put the tax money up their ass? girl you cant even give 30% to education? kill yourself <3 #the way latin america will be stuck in the lower top 50 in education for the next decades is crazy

[corvidcall]

i shouldn't be surprised when i learn bad things the usa has done, but i still was pretty disgusted and upset yesterday when i learned cuba offered to send doctors to Louisiana to help with Hurricane Katrina recovery and GWB refused.

#anime life #guess it would have been too embarassing to get help from communists #jesus fucking christ. i shouldn't be surprised and yet here i am #idk what is common knowledge. did people know about this at the time? maybe. #i found a few articles about it from the time. like on cnn #but i was busy being in 4th grade then so i wasnt paying much attention to cuba

omg you *handshake* me: drawing instead of doing homework we are sooo the same right now we should. we should be bestest friends about this

hiiii tobi I hope you have fun with your drawing!!

sharking your hand so hard rn bestie because!! yeah i DO have a presentation I need to do tomorrow that I haven't started yet. But I want to draw my funky little guys.

And that's so silly bc we totally are the bestest of friends abt this. forget shaking your hand i'm holding your hand as we draw. this works because i'm a lefty and so we can both draw with our dominant hands as we hold the opposing hands. (assuming you are right-handed.)

If you are not into touch then I am emotionally supporting you in a different state :)

anyway. hiiii quil i hope that YOU are having a fun time with YOUR drawing!!!

#caps tw #asks #quil tag <33 #that is a lie actually i have started my presentation. but i have to start it over and that is :(( so much work :(( #so instead im drawing elwin!! messing around w his ethnicity yk yk as you do #trying to figure out where the fuck he is and getting nowhere. like yeah splendor plains is in the north. #but like. #i don't know what shannon is going for here on the map. #is it supposed to be svalbard?? greenland or iceland??? upper nunavut??? #idk but it sure as hell is confusing. #might just pick one of those countries randomly and go w something to do w/ there #or i might go with my lovely hc that elwin is from mysterium which. cuba!!! #either way having a difficult but fun time avoiding hw and hoping you are doing the same

[locallibrarylover]

the FUNNIEST thing to me about "cubans play baseball soviets play soccer" is like. yes it is the most popular sport in russia! but also. they are not the only ones who play it. cia. we are the ones with the special name for it.

#musings #its just soooo funny to me. in general. #the cia was all like ''oh fuck theres soccer fields in cuba!! what if theyre planning another cuban missile crisis''

[itachikun]

if you stop to think about it, the US is criminal towards Cuba, North Korea (and China at times) because these countries, with their revolutionary processes and all the victories theyve conquered pose a threat to them. people cannot be allowed to understand the fact that housing, food, education, health services, employment and other basic needs can be provided outside of a capitalist reality to everyone, with good quality, free or almost free of cost. and since they cant prove these facts wrong, they disseminate and reinforce the propaganda that there is no freedom of thought, no freedom of expression, because that is the only thing they can attack.

#dont you go CRAZY thinking about this??? #no one in cuba dies of hunger #no one in north korea is sleeping on the streets #imagine not going under debt for your entire life bcos you got free education #imagine lifting over 800mi of people out of poverty in 40 fucking years #top 13 countries with the biggest % ( top 3 around 90!!!) of households owning the property where they live are ex USSR countries!!! #thats socialism for you babeyyyyyyyyyy #BOLD of anyone to think that I would mind not being able to openly express myself #if i had a house food on the table a job that doesnt explore me a national health system and free education #either free services or affordable ones #iD LIVE FUCKIN SILENT AND HAPPY thats what #a socialist society is the only one that can provide all its citizens with a dignified life #mr

[mistninja]

Theres so many shows to watch books to read and so much, so so much homework to do

#im trying to read memorias postumas de bras cubas + notes of a native son #i have to finish stone ocean and im also watching kimi ni todoke and keeping up with kaguya sama and spyxfamily #and i have until wednesday to make a fucking website for class #and a short story analysis for lit class #and what do i do #i come here

[niicevibe]

my coworker and I just got reamed by our boss for a small kitchen fire that happened the other day… while he was in Cuba… and then proceeds to ask us why we didn’t call him about it… while he was in Cuba…

#listen— this man 5’3– several inches shorter than me #I always make sure I fix my posture to be taller than him bc I know his height bothers him #but anyway— he comes back and proceeds to go off WORSE on my coworker #who is only three months in so at least he’s past the probationary period #whereas I’m five years in #but like DUDE YOURE IN CUBA WITH NO CELL SERVICE ANSJDLSAKD #why the FUCK would I call you anyway when you probably wouldn’t know how to deal with it besides calling 911?? #lmao it was a little grease fire and it wasn’t the first time either #it’s a kitchen like… what do you expect lol #I’m just annoyed tho #pissed that he treated a new employee like that and painted a bad picture of himself as a boss #fuck it— I think it’s FUNNY #and lowkey I hope I one day get fired from here rather than quitting #bc I have sooooo much dirt on this place lmao #and it’s from a big hotel chain so I think it’s even funnier #✦ niicevibe.

i-

#DO NOT READ LMAO #i don’t want to talk abt voltron literally years after the show ended #but #the fact that lance’s cuban identity wasn’t explored and how he consistently drew the short end of the stick #when it came to development #(and hunk too) #(and like most of the characters esp the ones of color 🙄) #idk like i just liked his character sm and rarely see cubans in the media who are positively represented yk?? like jm from miami #i’m boricua but lived in mia and work with cubans now and the stories that they tell me about their journey to the states and what life was #like in cuba is v eye opening #idk it’s just so upsetting that it was t discussed bc quite frankly i don’t think the show runners had the range to discuss those things #so like why even make him cuban or latino at all yk??? #if his identity wasn’t gonna be treated with utmost care and respect ?!;?;? #and for him to get the ending he got #just like. i wish him and allura were developed more thoroughly #very upsetting to see two characters of color who could’ve been FANTASTIC completely flop due to incompetence #but yeah that’s my rant pls don’t read this lmao #also i liked whats his face as his va i think he’s very charming but the no spanish thing was just idk #i can’t speak on behalf of hunk bc i am not polynesian but VERY upset that his culture wasn’t explored at all like ik theyre in space #and these things had no bearing on the plot but omg who fucking cares #the plot was obsolete at times anyways so what does it matter #anyways that’s my rant don’t respond if ur gonna argue w me #argue w ur mom

#i wish everyone who uses cuba to push their political agenda a very die #esp leftists who pretend to care about people but then completely disregard the humanitarian crisis in cuba #and speak over cuban voices #and completely ignore what the people are protesting about #fuck off #you don’t care about people you just care about pushing your political ideology #communists are so full of shit #the right uses cuba to push their politics too but it’s nowhere near as annoying bc who would expect any less from them #truly isolating that neither side actually gives a shit about cubans #cubans only have each other fr #tbd

#okay so I’m poor as can be right #which is okay I’m used to it I’ve never known anything else and I’ve accepted a long time ago that that would never change. and on top of #this I’m a leftist. so a few months ago my dad started dating this upper middle class lady #and like UPPER upper. I think she makes 400k a year and inherited a ton from her dad. so she asks him to go to Cuba and they invite me and #pay for my ticket which is super nice of them. so I’m in Cuba now. I feel so out of place I can’t even describe. the husband of my dads gfs #best friend yelled at one of the check in staff for like twenty minutes because he couldn’t have the size bed he wants. what. what. what. #when we walked into dinner (regular buffet not even a la carte???) thé staff all clapped for us for. I guess walking in for dinner? #evreryoje here is so comfortable being. well being rich I guess. they’re used to people falling over in front of them when they ask #what am I even going to do for the next week I’m so uncomfortable here #I’m really hoping I can meet someone here who’s actually NORMAL and SANE I can just fuck off with them for a few days because. while I’m so #grateful they took me here I’m embarrassed to be around them after how they talked to that guy #maybe I’m just homesick

[egg0nface]

Man I’m so tempted to jump on the train near my house and just see where it goes one of these days,, I won’t but my god I want to get out of the house more I hate being cooped up here :((

#train #yk an alternative solution would be to just have good public transport and I could be plenty happy where I’m at but obviously that isn’t #possible in this fucked up system bc it benefits the people more than the dumb ass people at the time who get to decide what we do with our #lives because obviously why would the people get a say /s #and I don’t have enough money for a good bike and I can’t drive so I’m just stuck #I’d love to explore the world and just enjoy myself without the world being built around metal gas guzzling machines #I think I sat on the bridge for a little too long today talking to my friends #they just listen I want them to engere that’s why I prefer talking to actual radicals because they’ll talk to me without me feeling like Im #talking at them ANYWAYS whenever we are on the bridge I talk a lot abt how much I despise our work being built for cars and how much I hate #factory farming ISTG this country is gonna be the death of me I can’t wait till I can actually leave this country like I would do anything #to achieve political asylum in Cuba or the DPRK or some shit like I’m missing out sm #I could have so much more!!! We all could…

[golden--flowers]

I love documentaries, yes please tell me more things, I love to learn about them

#(Leaning back) You ever hear about learning? #Love learning about animals and plants and music and stuff #I used to not be very interested in history but I've recently been getting a lot more? Interested? #I think part of it is the same part of me that likes learning details about star wars lore #Which I know is goofy #But a big part is also like #It's very important for everything that goes on currently in this world #Like #There's a new Italian fascist lady who thinks Mussolini was a great leader? I feel like I should learn more about Mussolini #I want to learn about the communists who defeated the fascists in Europe too #I want to learn more about the ways Western European and colonized North American empire has fucked up other countries and what the effects #are today #And the things that are happening right now immediately #And things like how Cuba endures in trying to do good by its people despite empire trying to squash it #I know not all the things I want to know about will be found in documentaries #I just got on a tangent
