This is a new classic of the 'twisting reality on its head and shitting brainworms into an entire population' genre. Chris Uhlmann is the idiot's idiot
This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.
For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism. The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond. Today, we are targeting the network that enables and funds Cuba's subversive and radical operations.
Pursuant to sanctions authorities created by President Trump’s groundbreaking Cuba Executive Order, I am designating the following entities:
1. Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba (MINFAR)
2. Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP)
3. Amistur Cuba S.A.
4. Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR)
5. Minera La Victoria S.A.
Anyone providing services to these sanctioned actors is at risk of sanctions themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities should freeze those activities.
The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate radical Marxist regimes in our hemisphere seeking to threaten U.S. national security and engage in influence operations to export their poisonous and evil “revolution” to our country and around the world.
As with Douglas Murray, this anti-intellectual tribalist was elevated by Bill Maher and Christopher Hitchens because he shared their prejudices about Muslims. As with Murray, his grift is the cartoonishly upside-down form of genocide-denial.
@Gattungswesen25 the fact we're even at this point is excruciating in itself, let alone that this is somehow being seen as "leftist" to support "the national project"
@thomas_je43740@EddyJokovich I'm sorry that you haven't been paying attention to their conduct, but there's no other word for what the IDF does other than terrorism. Inflicting maximum fear and harm on a civilian populace and trying to achieve political goals through their actions.
@JennaSayPaw you took a position allying with white supremacists and zionists and you got what you asked for, the allies you deserve. you can handwring, but that's the position you staked out.
desperately poor and even lower working class poor aren't the ones being recruited.
it's certainly not lost on me that this obviously a similarity to the foundation of the Gestapo, but it's a little darkly funny that the guys who spent the left nazis for a decade for all manner of nonsense will endorse literal nazi policies and act like it's nbd
I looked this up and it’s being done for courts to recognise assisted reproduction, surrogacy, and same-sex couples during disputes
So the backlash is another example of how transphobia gets used to justify pushing more restrictive & conservative values across the board
