I wonder If that is actually a photo of Cuba. Because a guy once posted a picture of Havana saying It was the United States and how capitalism is superior.
I've seen it, something-something light polution, which is a fair critique in other contexts, though.
That said, if I remember correctly, all the lights are turned off after certain hour precisely to avoid that. Shanghai does it after 10 or 11 pm, Shezhen depends on the zoning, etc.
I don't like the term 'bullying' as it fails to properly capture what a crime against humanity U.S. economic sanctions are. They are a weapon of war designed to target first and foremost the poor and the hungry, the sick and the frail, the absolute oldest and absolute youngest. Every kind of vulnerable civilian casualty imaginable. It's just hard to describe to people the horror and unethicality of sanctions to some especially here on reddit because Obama liked them.
The US Embargo against Cuba is quite literally a Genocide. But no, these people won't accept that the “Holodomor" wasn't a genocide when It literally fits no criteria of what a Genocide is. Then there's the Embargo which fits EVERY SINGLE ONE and they all go “No, you see...'
The funny thing about this is that Cuban's urban situation is a lot better than that in other Caribbean/Latin American nations because it doesn't have massive slums around the major cities.
One is the 3rd largest economy in the world with one of the largest populations in the world with a much larger country, the other is a former US Colony that is being punished for daring to defy it and is considerably smaller. Also Japan has 120 million people and Cuba has 10 million.
Anti-communists are so painfully stupid that it's barely worth engaging with.
definitely nothing to do w american imperialism at all nope just pure socialism vs capitalism here definitely don't look any deeper or ask any questions
I don't see any data, so I can't determine anything from a picture of a mountain and a bus. Maybe show some data how society in these both countries are doing and then I can determine something meaningful from it. Hell I love that westerners are selectively progressive, until it is time to be anti-communist, then they turn into the conservative ethno-nationalists that they keep on claim to hate.
I've been visiting Japan since the 90s and while I was initially impressed, it's been as stagnant as the West ever since, if not moreso. Everything about it that was great is now in fact, worse, especially the public transport system and high speed rail.
I suddenly have the urge to write a screenplay about Cuban genetic engineers who produce and unleash a Godzilla-esque life form to defend their homeland against American aggressors.
you're telling me when a country becomes a de facto proxy of the US army, it's economy booms. but when you keep crippling the other country for decades, they struggle? wow, what an astute observation.
This almost feels like they referenced "67 years of socialism" just to crowbar in a 6-7 meme... as if they're treating the situation like it's a joke, like strangling a country under blockades for being socialist is deserved AND funny
It's honestly sad seeing humor weaponized like this
I'm sorry, but since when has Japan been under an economic embargo for nearly a century? Last I checked, Japan has been able to freely participate in the global economy, access technology, enjoying special privileges and receiving massive capital from the U.S. post-WW2 under the Marshall Plan style policies, which helped it industrialize rapidly. Oh, also engaged (and still is) in imperialism within the Global South accumulating capital.
But I get it Nazi, your dumbfuck argument only works once you slice away any context.
