90% of her twitter is complaining about tankies and the uyghurs and the authoritarianism

someone in the comments says “im cuban and castro was not a real communist”

retweeted something about how can china eradicate poverty when people in hong kong live in tiny homes

I dunno, if the person with the most similar political development on Youtube was freaking Shoe0nhead, that would probably make me want to rethink my beliefs.

Like, there’s non-tankie leftists online like hbomb, philosophytube, big joel, the chapos, contrapoints, hasanabi, but they talk about actual fucking left-wing ideals, the injustices in the present day and what could be done to fix them. They don’t turn their entire online presence into “im one of the good lefties, not like these evil tankies, im one of the good and reasonable ones”

    I think it was that a Cuban official told them there was no smoking in public laws and she was pissed she had seen a Cuban nurse smoking in an area they shouldn’t (a phenomenon common to nursing everywhere)… While her ex-boyfriend (current then) was in the ICU from alcohol poisoning when they were meant to be on a communist party trip to help Cuba /learn from Cuba etc.

        Yeah I don’t always agree with GASLIGHTER/DSARACIST on twitter but he was right at the time when he said something like if I was associated with someone using up Cuba’s scarce medical resources because they drank too much I’d never have told anyone out of shame.
