Make sure you life with you legs, not your back, as that could lead to injury.
Goalposts can be heavy, and since you’re moving them so often, I have attached an infographic. Hope this helps!
@danishacarterr@queerBengali And then have the audacity to host a Cuban-government backed “journalist” while thousands of actual Cuban journalists and dissidents are rotting in a cell somewhere.
@MobyBrick420@IbaraEleven The benefits of liberalization include the economic world order. Nothing is preventing the dictatorship from liberalizing.
The US provides millions of dollars of aid to Cuba, by the way.
Just to quantify “barely better,” USAID cuts alone are responsible for over 700,000 estimated deaths. Hundreds of thousands of children.
Imma go ahead and take the “barely better” Democrats every day of the week.
@TheTaylorZee@hasanthehun@KyleKulinski As someone who voted for her out of pragmatism, shut the fuck up retard.
Get your head out of the two-party system and realize that most Democrats are feckless imperialist neoliberal retards who are only barely better, than Republicans.
@simply_t3a@hasanthehun@KyleKulinski If supporting a candidate for president that would be irrefutably better than the one we have now — the one who is literally killing people in this country and around the world — makes me “Blue MAGA” then please get me a Blue MAGA Hat and I will wear it proudly.
I’m not going to say the West’s economic decisions were based solely on human rights because they were not. However the whole point of opening up to China in the 70s (apart from the Cold War) was a play for Chinese liberalization which did occur economically under Xiaoping and is currently being reversed by Xi. The whole point of early 2000s European engagement with Russia was a play at liberalization. Obviously, that also didn’t work.
It’s absolutely hypocritical and a betrayal of our values. However, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, etc. have shown us that economic engagement does nothing to help liberalize a country.
If anything, our engagement with these countries further proves the need for economic sanctions.
