The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, thanked this Saturday the international solidarity towards his country, hit two days ago by the passage of Hurricane Rafael.
i think that russia and venezuela sending aid despite enduring their own suffering at hands of the capitalist system themselves is like the international version of poor people helping poor people because the rich won’t.
i wish american propaganda wasn’t so affective at white washing our history & current events so that we could see how thoroughly absurd is for us to automatically call the russian & venezuelan kettles black.
i know that people like software engineers are aware that the fat paychecks serve to make them politically docile and i wish there was a socially acceptable way to make the saying “there but for the grace of god go i” untrue.
to me, the cuban and software engineer examples are flip sides of the same coin because i’ve learned recently that it’s trekkies that are preventing trekkies from ever achieving fully automated gay space communism and they’ll fight tooth and nail against it.
