Ultraliberalism is orthoganal to any sort of actual human emotion, so you either turn into the light bending man, or you compartmentalise like Joyce and cheerfully admit you’re a complete monster literally destroying the world, but hey, you like Disco and your boat is tasteful and you’re a blast at dinner parties, so it’s all good right?
lmfao this is great
/r/news locked the thread announcing his death within minutes
Reminder that this trash got over a thousand upvotes in the Castro death announcement thread back in 2016:
And so ends the reign of the man who took over Cuba and promised a “People’s Revolution” only to turn his back on everyone and everything once in power so he and his buttbuddy Che could murder close associates seen as risks to their power and plunge Cuba into a totalitarian dictatorship. He turned Cuba into his political ‘communist’ experiment and ran it like a rich-kid despot who reviled in his own ego forcing his subjects to listen to hour long monologues and tirades against their fabricated foreign enemies. The enemy was always the outsiders, and only Fidel could protect them and “their” revolution of course.
Yes Fidel was highly educated and had a law degree. He was also a great orator and manipulator. He was indeed very intelligent and any who sat down with him were often charmed by his compelling rehtoric and ideas. He woed not only celebs and even Canada’s own Prime Minister, but also generations of impressionable idealistic youth that clung on to his fantasy world. That’s what made him so dangerous.
In reality he starved, beat, and jailed dissenters and ruined the lives of millions of Cubans. Imagine being born and raised into the economic and financial prison hell that is Cuba? How would you feel about those who praised the man whose state almost literally owned you and your entire family like slaves? What justice did these people ever get? Nothing. They got and still continue to get f*cked over. Fidel is dead but their suffering is not. Remember that when you type an idealistic euology from the comfort of your first world home.
Many will eulogize him as some sort of ‘revolutionary’, foolishly pushing forth the very same false narrative that Fidel built around himself. The so called hero that enslaved a nation to be put on t-shirts and sold to people who romanticize the horror that was and continues to be the Cuban 'Communist" regime.
Oh and he did all this while smoking cigars and enjoying life on his secret island that nobody was allowed to talk about where he enjoyed cognac and other foreign films and imports just like some famous despots from Korea. Nobody can rival the hypocrisy of despots.
He partied, drank, smoked, banged, and laughed his way to the grave all while his people suffered. You have to give it to him, as a douche, he was quite a successful douche. Che got too ambitious for his own good and look what happened. Fidel was content with running his very own island plantation… erm I mean the “PEOPLE’S island paradise”.
What a revolutionary guise.
P.S. This was all America’s fault. That’s why Cuba couldn’t be free. It’s always the Yankees fault of course! Those globalist gringos keeping the “people’s” revolution down amrite? - Fidel probably, as he sips from his cognac and puffs his cigars from hell.
I don’t know how you watch this film and come away with the opinion that its “sympathetic to Nazis”, especially since the Kriegsmarine was the least Nazified branch of the Wehrmacht by a significant margin
