Cuba was removed from the list during the Obama administration and put back on the list by Trump. This has nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with appeasing a large and vocal group of Cubans in Florida.
Very cringe to deny someone’s identity because you disagree with the actions or politics of them or their ancestors.
Identity is cringe in general, no?
What I call people is more about my attempts to make the world make sense through categorisation. I don’t think my labels represent “reality” in any way. I understand every individual is a “cosmos” in themselves. So honestly reducing oneself to labels is rather silly and cringe no?
It’s a bad way to approach self-discovery and understanding. It just externalises the self into idealistic creations of others, aka, identities.
Like I never wanted for nations to exist, why would I abide by 18-19th century bourgeois ideologies of nationalism?
Having your ancestors be born in specific land makes you nothing.
But just to make it clear, if I like you I’ll respect you and your ideas. If I don’t, I won’t. I don’t respect Gusanos, because they are fascists. Many “Cuban-Americans” are not Gusanos.
Reeeally need to stop letting old people perpetuate failed 1960s red scare politics with Cuba.
I suspect sending McDonalds over there instead of the CIA would have worked out better.
