By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostIt makes me so angry how dense people in their keyboard bubbles can be.like Totti brainwashed you lot in thinking he's indispensable
So many people have mentioned how much he was loved in Cuba
I am sure I would be loved if i spend 60 years brainwashing the people and giving them the fear of death if they speak out.

Hamilton is absolutely flying in Q3. I just pray Rosberg fucks up in the Race.

I wouldn't be surprised.
You have people telling stories about how they had grandparents murdered by Castro, and then posts underneath "He might have been a monster, but he did some things right"
Imagine Hitler. "He might have been a monster, but he did build some good roads. I am on the fence. RIP"
By Hitch Go To PostThink Sturridge would have started this one as well :(Welcome to Arsenal, Sturridge.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostImagine Hitler. "He might have been a monster, but he did build some good roads. I am on the fence. RIP"Haha.
There was a female moderator here, who said exactly that about the Autobahn. That killed her career instantly :)

Honestly there is just no intellectual discussion to be had there. Anyone who actually thinks for himself has either left because they got sick of the disingenuous bullshit, or they got banned because they got sick of the disingenuous bullshit.
If only Castro hadn't taken over in '59. Cuba would've become a bastion of human/civil rights and development, like Guatemala or Nicaragua.
Seriously though, had Castro never taken over or if he'd been deposed, civil rights abuses in Cuba would've been equal or greater than what he's done. Cold War-era Central America was not a fun place and these countries were never going to attain levels of development akin to the Global North.

I still don't know why anyone would post or care to discuss some really complex and important issues with the absolute nerdiest of the nerds on GAF...

Woke up at half time since I went to bed quite late. Ugly game but a good win. Lumped balls into the box are just nightmarish.
By Lunatic Go To PostThat second City goal was really pure FIFA.So was their first in fairness.
These fuckers have no clue about Castro. He was an awful tyrant and will be remembered as nothing but that.
Jammy cunts, we had 5 billion shots against these clowns and they go and let in the clankest of goals, fuck football...
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostJammy cunts, we had 5 billion shots against these clowns and they go and let in the clankest of goals, fuck football…Honestly 2 of the most annoying winners I can remember from them this last week. Unbelievably poor goals to concede.
Disgusted with Trudeau's message about Castro. There is family history with him, but still. Fuck Castro.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDisgusted with Trudeau's message about Castro. There is family history with him, but still. Fuck Castro.Like I said earlier, Trudeau is a pandering cuck.
By Punished Go To PostIf only Castro hadn't taken over in '59. Cuba would've become a bastion of human/civil rights and development, like Guatemala or Nicaragua.As alwaya, Yenrot is the only one with some knowledge on the subject. The Castro regime is far from ideal, but look at the rest of the countries in the region (Central America and Caribbean) which went on the "democratic" route, those places are hell on earth now. Cuba is one od the countries with the highest HDI in Latin America.

But that's not the discussion. Look all around the world through history and you'll see despots and dictators rise in difficult times. That doesn't mean that you can forgive them for the atrocities they committed or act like the passage of time dulls how heinous they were.

Cuba is one od the countries with the highest HDI in Latin America.It's HDI is similar to the likes of Costa Rica and Panama, or Caribbean countries like the Bahamas. Whilst there are some which are considerably worse off in the region, I don't think there is strong evidence that the counterfactual would not have left Cuba just as good if not better in such measures. The only real argument one can make is that if the US hadn't sanctioned the country then things could be much better, but then countries which so flagrantly abuse human rights tend to get hit with them regardless of if they are socialist or 'democratic'.
If Castro had given up power in the early 70s or around that time he would be remembered more fondly I think. Obviously he was a terrible dictator like those who refuse to give up power usually are.
In latin american regions him, but mostly Che, are paragons of revolution, freedom and justice to some extreme lefties. Believe me, a lot of countries hate America more than they hate their local dictators, as weird as it may sound to you enlighted westerners. And it's not without reason either, as most of you are aware too. Che just had the advantage of fucking dying so more generations never actually got to see him first hand.
In my University, a radical group took over one of our auditoriums around 15 years ago, and refused to give it up, renaming it to "Che Guevara". It's a public, free, autonomous university, so the people in charge have decided against using police force to kick them out for years, but everyone with a brain pretty much hates them. But those are the kind of people to whom these revolutionaries appeal. Just jobless assholes that live inside a perpetual "movement" that accomplishes nothing but fuck over other people.
Going back to Castro and the anti-american sentiment it is of course mostly an interesting academic experiment to study a regime that betrayed its own people to deny that foreign influence. Capitalism is awful in most academic senses, but no one has come up with a better system that accounts for humans to be humans i.e. power hungry, murderous and greedy assholes who fuck everyone else over. So for a lot of people it's a contest of picking your poison.

US sanctions have nothing to do with human rights abuses

Oh Russia.
The radiation expert who discovered the poison that killed Alexander Litvinenko "committed suicide" by stabbing himself repeatedly with two knives months after a trip to Russia, a coroner ruled.
The father-of-two reportedly died from self-inflicted injuries, despite one detective believing he couldn't have stayed conscious long enough to wound himself that much
Matthew Puncher, 46, bled to death at his home after receiving multiple stab wounds across his body from two kitchen knives, an inquest heard.
A pathologist said he could not completely exclude the possibility that someone else had been involved in the death of the father, but came to the conclusion that the injuries were self-inflicted.
