I've seen this account several times in TikTok, is this a psyop?

I gotta know. It just looks so forced. In the most recent video I saw homie was "buying his first computer" and he was a "compsci professor" in cuba but never owned a computer/laptop.

Even back in the days of low broadband internet access in like 2008 they already had El Paquete making the rounds and proving that they're more tech-literate (and literally literate) than most Yankees. They even have one huge dedicated computer science university, their own linux distro, and they even accept foreigners. Did I mention it's free?

This one of the most pathetic fakes about Cuba I've ever seen. About a fifth of Yankees actually speak Spanish so they have no excuse for falling for this shit.

It makes me wonder how many of the comments they get are legit or just bot spam. I guess there isn't much of a difference.

This has to be fake, I've played games with ppl in Cuba and they had computers to play on. There's no way a compsci professor couldn't get a computer lmfao

Sorry to break it to you, but every Cuban you thought you interacted with on the internet was actually just the ghost of Castro possessing your PC.

That is even cooler

Also you have to see some of their other videos. Crying at Halloween, being amazed at a Walmart. Claiming that Cuba doesn't have "return policies". It's insane.

I've seen one video of a man crying because he saw gum (in cuba gum is 5 dollars) and being glad that it is so cheap in America, this stuff is not only propaganda, it's also a make feel good fetish, it's like those "I give homeless people noodles in my pickup truck) videos but with a propaganda twist.

This is a 5 year old look at gaming in Cuba, first hand.

That’s pretty neat to be honest that people set that up

They also have public libraries with computers that are free to be used. Not to mention smartphones and even twitter access. This video is just pure bullshit.

I guess we don't want to talk about TikTok and YouTube as vehicles for anticommunist propaganda via vloggers/influencers 👀

from a quick research, idk if its a psyop but it's just the usual gusano shit that boomers love to consume.

Yeah the more I dig through the videos the more it looks like textbook Miami Cuban Republican nonsense. Lol homegirl saying she has a polisci degree and saying trump isn't a fascist.
