ZearothK posted:Something I've been wondering is why does the state department bother manufacturing consent for foreign intervention, such as what we are going to be seeing about Castillo? It is not like public opinion is relevant for any Washington policy, the fraction of people in the US who cares about what happens in Latin America is not large enough to influence elections (other than pandering to the Gusano demographic in Miami, I guess?) and almost no one would even know what they are doing if they didn't have op-eds from Mengele-Eichman saying how important it is to support a coup or rat-fuckery in the Americas. It is not even relevant for the legitimacy of the foreign policy itself, as the politcally relevant characters often already have their minds set. Even as propaganda it is kind of dubious, because here in Brazil I only see the clearly devout parroting those points. The fraction of people in the US who care about what happens in Latin America is so low precisely because the US is so good at propaganda and has spent decades making its people as incapable as possible of understanding anything beyond US borders.

Hong Kong will almost certainly have been studied by Cuba and these protests will go absolutely nowhere and there won't be the 'brutal crackdown' the West is gagging for. In HK there were at least the children of former colonial officials to bulk out the crowds, genuine gusanos with an actual class interest in the outcome have already fled Cuba.

TeenageArchipelago posted:Just thinking about how the conservative church that I went to when I was a kid told us a story about Cuba. They said that the Cubans had all of the students in a classroom put their heads down and pray to God for ice cream, and then look to see that they didn't have any ice cream. Then they prayed to Fidel Castro for ice cream, and when they looked they had ice cream. The dude who told us this story must have thought that it totally owned the communists who lied about God but Fidel actually did give the kids ice cream??? Thanks for coming to my Ted talk Was the moral of the story supposed to be that Fidel, unwittingly, is a servant of His Almighty and works towards His will of answering the ice cream prayers of children?

indigi posted:how come Cuba didn’t include gay marriage when they redid the constitution a few years ago? I read an article claiming that the ruling party left it out cause they just didn’t want it to happen but that seems off They completely removed any definition of marriage from the constitution so that it could be more easily handled by legislation in the future.

indigi posted:seems like it would have been more easily handled by putting it in the constitution five years ago, why the feet dragging Sure, until you want to update the definition of marriage again and have to go through the huge pain of changing a constitution again. Honestly, it's a weird thing to define in a constitution anyway.

I mean I will say that the non-binding plebiscite on same-sex marriage in Australia loving sucked and gave way too much space to homo- and transphobes. Just legislating these changes isn't any less democratic, but if it's a shoe-in and you can actually punish anti-social views I guess it's pretty neat to show off your people's progressive views globally.

It's so loving funny to me that they still claim that there were major protests that shook the legitimacy of the Cuban government last year when they had to use footage of pro-government rallies as evidence of thousands of people taking to the streets.

i say swears online posted:yeah that's the difference between open-list and closed-list proportional systems. open-list seems to give a lot more power to voters and i like that but dunno how often it gums up the party leader's plans. i guess if they're on the list they're fine with the leader and platform We've got both in Australia and basically everyone just chooses to vote closed-list so it almost never matters. And until like 10 years ago if you wanted to vote open-list in Australia you would have to preference all the candidates in your state, so like 60-70+.
