Shooting themselves in the foot. Most artists already pay more into Spotify to setup and promote their work than they make from royalties. Now they want to cut the Artist out. Braindead execs.
It was a plot by wealthy people to take over the colonies. The colonists were not rebellious. I discovered this reading primary sources in the form of diaries and journals.
The so called taxes only affected a small percentage of colonist and was far less than what the British would pay in England. Try looking up the sons of liberty. It was a lot of lies and terrorism that started the rebellion.
I can go on a bit about the American Revolution myself. It was just a corrupt business plot to take over the colonies. Once you realize it, everything else falls into place.
It says on the infographics. They were definitely Cuban Americans from Miami.
Most of those hardliners are dead or near it. This support for Trump is nothing new and it is persistent because they overwhelmingly voted for MAGA.
If you read farther down you see strange things like them not wanting Trump to negotiate with the ruling family and not approving of allowing the Cuban government to continue to exist with only economic reforms.
Is it really anti-Cuban or just anti-Castro. Also, where is the line drawn. I always ask myself the question do the Cuban Americans really want to punish the Cuban government so bad they are willing to hurt the Cuban people? I think the answer is yes.
There is a very good reason the states don't do a deep dive into fascism as part of education. It is the same reason critical thinking is not taught until college.
It was designed this way from the start. Examining the American Revolution from a critical lens reveals a very different story than what Americans are taught.
I think we both can agree on what is happening even if we see some things differently. I view the three major fascist leaning states as the US, Russia, and China in that order. While China has done some amazing things there is plenty of valid criticism outside of just western propaganda.
China is great because of the US not despite it. They have made the wealthy more money in a shorter amount of time than any country before it in history working together. China has produced more billionaires than any nation for the third year straight showing zero signs of slowing.
China is currently running cover for the entire industrialized world. If they were really at odds with all the western nations who dog on them then I don't think they would have cut their oil consumption by almost 5 million barrels a day, thus staving off a collapse of global markets.
American freedom is misnomer and is merely a function of a lot of land spread out that creates a feeling of less government interference which is compounded if you are a privileged white male.
The US government is the universal destroyer of freedom, not the creator of it. I totally agree there are a ton US citizens that are absolutely clueless that they live in the most violent anti-freedom fascist nation in the world.
Speaking of following in the footsteps, this current administration has done several things to come closer to Chinese policy from trying to become more neo-authoritarian to allowing the government a more active role in business. If the current administration succeeds in its current goal the US could become even more of a one-party system than it already is.
We have lost more people to gun violence in the last thirty years than every US soldier killed in every war. Death by firearm is now the number one killer of US children. I have personally lost several people I grew up with to gun violence.
Almost 50% of US males have a criminal conviction and minorities have a close to a 30% felony conviction rate. Millions of minority and poor families have been destroyed by the war on drugs. People regularly get convicted of crimes they didn't do because they are manipulated into plea bargains with the threat of massive time behind bars. The US jails more people per capita than just about any other nation.
The unemployment rate for those under thirty is around 40%. Most working class families are priced out of home ownership and going to get a higher education will often indebt you for decades. You are expected to constantly change careers or you will be quickly left behind with median position length of just under four years. Many Americans have up to ten or more jobs in their lifetime due to instability in our economy.
I raised my family for over twenty years with zero health insurance. Going to the hospital is a financially life ending event with bills easily reaching $10k + for even basic procedures unless it is just a few stitches. Medical bills account for 40% of bankruptcies and half a million people go bankrupt every year from medical debt.
I find it amazing propaganda can manipulate rubes so easily into hating each other. The wealthy have truly won.
This is not up to your average American worker. They don't choose where their money goes after they spend it and they don't have a real choice otherwise. There is no well known burger joint that pays their workers a living wage. These are ultimately the decisions American business leaders make.
American managers do generally pay a much better salary to healthcare workers but only because the profit margins are insane and often literally made up.
As far as paying taxes it really depends on where you live. Certainly the fear of paying taxes exists in depressed red states but most blue states and metropolitan areas pay more taxes and get more services because of it. People live in these areas because they are good for families.
What America wants and what they vote for are two different things and this is related to politicians not being held accountable for anything. You can say you will do one thing and the moment you are elected you can do just the opposite without consequence.
Voting in the US has pretty much become just a rubber stamp for what the wealthy want. If people won't vote for it, they just do it anyways as seen in the current administration. This is because the government was designed by the wealthy for the wealthy and democracy exists only as a facade at the Federal level.
Cool and lots of detail. One thing though, is there a reason you are using the Mercedes symbol instead of the peace symbol (I am guessing that is what was intended)?

Most of them were in my college texts and I don't care to dig them out.
You are clearly struggling with a lot of propaganda you have been fed. Good luck with that.

I can wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. I care about the people and it is clear the Cuban Americans are careless in their hatred.
Dude would definitely eat a turd.

Unfortunately you are wrong, but the winds may be changing.
"a sweeping 67% of poll respondents said they support Trump’s handling of Cuba policy."

Only in a court of law.

The ideals of liberalism aren't horrible until you realize that equality is a lie. Then you know they are just lip service for the ruling class.
Came here to post this.
Bend over, drop trou, spread them cheeks, and shout, "you are defeated!"

Call their bluff! What have you got to lose!?

This is rather common because they are very similar. I attached a pic for comparison.
Edit: Just to be sure you drawing looks great and the guy below could be interpreted as the fourth leg of the peace sign. Keep up the cool drawings!
