It's been shown through statistics (take them with a grain of salt) that reading for pleasure is on the decline in the United States and Europe, with a high percentage of college graduates never picking up another book after their education completes.
Important note: the CCP allows for paper copies of 1984 to be retailed within the country because the Party's view is that proles will be addicted to television and other visual/auditory media while the "Inner Party" will be educated enough to understand the concepts in the book but not turn against the regime.
The research on "theory of mind" has been scant but I for one believe it has a grain of truth.
Cuban here...👋
The reason Cuban education is so “good” is because by 9th grade if you aren’t cutting it... you go to the fields to work like a dog and then maybe a trade school. Only the brightest go on to high school. So yeah. Looks great on paper. 🤷🏻♂️😂
Sounds like pretty much every commie shithole, hell, most countries except the US. And people wonder why are our literacy rates and education scores are so low. It's because we're damn near the only country who any where near honestly reports them, and for the population as a whole, not the select, pre-filtered few.
In 2018, the U.S. scored 25th globally on PISA (out of 77 placings), which ranks student achievement in math, science, and reading. Our average score was 495. The highest was China at 578.7. This may seem awful, but we do test all students (including LD who are capable of taking exams, even with assistance). No other country does this, and China only tests those who enter their best academies (so the highest ranking students in China).
Under those circumstances, we aren't doing that badly.
It's not surprising. Judging from my experiences in talking to (and breaking their minds) BernieBros, they either tend to be gigantic pieces of shit angry that they "have no choice but to work to live" (in a dead-end retail job because they have no qualifications for a better job or are too lazy to look for another profession) or naive teenage boys who are addicted to Reddit, are "atheist" because they think that makes them automatically smarter than their "not-hip" parents and are rebelling against a religious upbringing, usually substituting consumerism in place of it (cough cough OH BOY I LOVE MARVEL EXCEPT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THEM BEFORE 2012/2008/2000).
I watched some video of nonbinary xirs talking about how they are oppressed, and every single one of them was just butthurt their parents were very religious. And now they are taking it out on all of society.
tbh because of all the other issues its hard for me to press a point that the qualification system does in fact have problems and overlooks potentially qualified individuals because of bad weed-out mechanisms that do serve to make employee selection easier on companies but end up unintentionally becoming somewhat classist.
yes we do have financial aid, as well as state universities -- but these places can end up getting you into a locked state where you can't continue anymore because of how credits transfer between universities under a certain level (say you get 3 associates in one state uni, now you can never a bachelors anywhere else barred from all college unless you become filthy rich through crime to just pay the university bills from scratch, starting from year 0 even if your 40 years old and have all the credits already anyway. they dont count no more -- and financial aid disappears because "you already took the class even though it doesnt count")
so there are in fact terrible problems, the people who obtained qualifications arent the best (ive been openly challenging the greatest legends on earth to a battle of wits myself, nobody takes me serious enough to accept the challenge) and that there is TONS of latent talent and opportunity thrown right down the garbage.
fixing this situation, and fixing the people's view of communism still requires one concession from everyone else -- competition for their own position in society whether they view it as fair or not. it can be brutal and heavily capitalistic, but internal protectionism of the fields itself must die out.
if a man has all prerequisite, degree in hand or not, they are qualified. it doesnt matter if they learned from a library, the internet or a college. if they have all the same answers at an equal competency level they are equal. in fact if they learned it without school -- they arent equal, they are BETTER/SUPERIOR.
in most other respects im on your side. i also disagree with the left's solutions because we are not all equal however, there are elites hidden among the failures because of failings in the system. it generally leads those kind of people into becoming high-level criminals and the like instead of beneficially participating in society, which they easily could if selected in rather than out.
tbh in a way i cant blame them for being supercriminals, robbing the companies which refuse to acknowledge them. they couldve hired them instead.
Perhaps I can weigh in a bit? I used to support Bernie and Yang before this May, before I swallowed the red pill and never looked back. Despite their radically different approach and what many think, Trump and Bernie are both anti-establishment populists. They believe in giving people back the power the Washington Establishment stole from us (not sure if that's Bernie's true intention, but it is certainly Trump's). So I believe at least in that regard, Trump and Bernie supporters are similar. Just my two cents.
I read an interview of a doctor in Cuba and he said he works 60 to 70 hours a week and makes the equivalent of $20 a month. Communism and socialism fail because there's no motivation for anyone to work hard, innovate or create anything of value. The elite take it all and own everything even your life, which is the ultimate dream of the leftists in America.
This is the biggest misconception they have. I am an immigrant and I love this country and our president. Also, most of the immigrants I know have conservative views and they really like Trump. There's a huge difference between legal and illegal immigration.
Most hardcore liberals just don't know how good they have it here. They should spend a year or two in their utopian countries like Venezuela; I am pretty sure they would start to appreciate their own country.
Imagine how bad a place cuba must have been to cause you to put your children, often little kids, on homemade rafts and hoping they can survive the 100 mile long voyage.
Honestly if you actually read the research on shark behavior you’ll realize scientists have no fucking clue why sharks behave the way they do around humans, whether they want to eat them or not, etc. It’s mostly conjecture.
Yeah, it was meant to be "inclusive" to Latinos who don't "identify" as male or female, but rather as "non binary". The way I liked seeing Latino and Latina merged was around briefly (2005-2008ish) : [email protected] I wish that had caught on, if we must have a merger word.
"It's okay, you're not white and don't know any better. Us white people will fix it for you! There, now you're latinx! Now you adhere to our cultural norms!"
It's a psychopathic way to spit on the culture and heritage of the not-small-amount of Latin countries and hundreds of millions of Latin language speakers.
My best guess is soft core porn targetting Latinos. Steamier than a standard telenovela but not as explicit as latinxxx. More Red Shoe Diaries but not full blown donkey show.
I work for a large Fortune 500 that has bi-weekly town hall conferences, and let me tell you, it flies out side of university. I am part Hispanic and it drives me nuts..
Just cause some high up HR retards are using the word doesn't mean people actually like it. You are hispanic and you don't like it... nuff said. You are the norm, from all I've seen.
Pew research recently published extensive survey data showing just how out of touch the latinx phrase is. Observed corporate HR start using it in communications and shared in confidence the survey data with one of their team members. They're not using it in communication anymore.
Lmao ask about fillipinos how they feel about people trying to extend it to fillipinx. They don't even have a gendered term (as in almost no one from the Philippines uses fillipina) and it is literally a case of western whites just extending a term from other similar brown people (that also don't like the term) into them.
FYI never say latinx unless you're mocking people who say latinx. We hate that shit. It's not a real word. If a liberal says "muh professor said that" you can remind them that the Royal Spanish Academy, which guides the standards of the language and is the basis of all Spanish grammar taught around the world, considered & rejected the use of LatinX.
White leftists are horrible racists. They are the modern day KKK. They think they can speak for us "minorities" and purposely paint us as weak and helpless before the white man. It's not true and they are racist shitheads for promoting it.
It's hard to go to the frontpage that's for sure, even as tailored as mine is. Anti-Trump and leftist anti-white rhetoric is everywhere, sports subs, video game subs, it's even crept into fight subs. Right now on r/fightporn a video is stickied of a a trans beating a "transphobe" and has been stickied for weeks now, I refuse to click on it. Every other post is "racist get's what he deserves" and it's a white guy getting stomped by a black guy. A few months ago that guy that got beat down in the Macy's, he was a manager I believe, it was hot shit on that sub and the title was something like I mentioned above, claiming he was racist and used the n-word. Anybody that doubted the narrative was downvoted into oblivion and as it turns out, the black dude literally sucker punched the guy and continued to beat him as he begged for "no reason". There was a pic of a trans person and I can't remember exactly what this person was claiming to be but it was something as simple as "proud trans gamer". It was just a pic of a tranny and it was heralded. Anything gay or trans or black is front page material and 99% of it doesn't deserve to be. Reddit is trash.
Did you see the r/animemes stuff? They banned the word "trap" and the whole sub fucking revolted against the mods. Apparently it's transphobic... but traps are cross dressers not trans... hence the "trap".
The thing I have notice is in the occasional use I still have is that a lot of the "normie" users are starting to disagree vocally, the movie cuties seems to have finally gotten them talking on other topics.
Dude reddit is straight up like a cult sometimes, they’re so toxic and negative I couldn’t stand them anymore. I remember a thread about that old guy that was pushed by a cop and everybody was just like “Omagerd! Cops are evil! They attacked an innocent old man!”
And here I was, watching the video, thinking, well...looks like that old guy lost his balance and tripped waaaay harder than they pushed. (And upon further research, turns out that dude was a known cop hater and antagonizer). But of course anything against the hivemind was instantly attacked and downvoted. Fuck reddit.
But they think they some somehow better than other social media. When in reality they are probably the same tier as Twitter, maybe slightly better than Tik Tok in terms of collective intelligence.
Immigrants have a responsibility to assimilate into American values and norms.
"No! How dare you! Immigrants can't be expected to assimilate into their new country! Intolerance! You have to print legal forms in every possible language translation! You racist!"
Also.
"Here's a dictionary of woke SJW language. You have to assimilate into woke now because colored people are naturally LGBTQPEDO+ allies. You have to be part of the collective marxist revolution, bigot."
Why wouldn't they hate it? Cubans are families from Cuba, not Mexico, but the left and the MSM lump them all into one demographic, even though they are distinct and different cultures. Latinx is insulting.
Latix isn't a thing. They are Latino's. Females are Latinas - the come only in two forms: short ancient tortilla lady, and hot weather girl. No exceptions
Latinos love their family, love manliness in men and femininity in women (see point 1)
Not super stoked on the gays. Not hateful, just traditional.
They all escaped communist shit holes to be here, so they can work their dicks off and send money back to their families and send their kids to college. You can't blame them for trying to get all the free shit they are eligible to receive.
Conclusion - legal Latinos tend to be the most based.
To add credibility to your list, the Royal Spanish Academy, the highest "authority" on the Spanish language of all 20+ Spanish speaking countries, already considered and rejected the use of latinx. There is no room for argument. LatinX is not a word. It's liberal BS.
They all escaped communist shit holes to be here, so they can work their dicks off and send money back to their families and send their kids to college.
Sending money back to communist shitholes doesn't sound very based to me.
If taking care of my family comes first, I probably wouldn't try to escape my communist shithole country without them and then prop up my homeland's sham economy with foreign money. Everyone on here is all fired up to fight commies, but then act like leaving your family behind with them is FUCKING BASED. Doesn't make any sense.
The average ANNUAL income in Guatemala is $1,619. If you're making $18/hr framing houses - you make more in 2 weeks than your dad makes in a year back home.
I'm not saying I want to engineer more remittances - because you're right - it bleeds equity out of our country. But at the individual level, sending your mom a years salary cuz you're flush with cash - that's based.
That being said - my story perfectly illustrates why we need merit based immigration. That way we're not depressing wages for the trades, and sending engineer money over to India
We've talked about it before on this sub but that's one thing I can't grip about blacks in America. What you just said about latinos could almost equally be said about blacks at large, especially if you exclude the ghettos. Most everyday normal American blacks I've interacted with have large extended families oftentimes having grandparents living in the home or live closeby and are heavily involved with the family, think the family from Family Matters. They're religious, also very traditional about gay shit. Yet they continue to vote Democrat year after year even though the Democrat platform is counter to their values.
We are not race realists.the conservative aspects of blacks are just how people normally behave around the world but most of the other values of their community line up with leftists. Leftist are very identitarian and blacks are the most identitarian group in America after Jews.
The blacks you see everyday and interact with, are just a small fraction or outlier of the black community.Blacks can become more conservative and non-tribal but we have to be realistic and know the behaviour of the various demographics in the country.
Obviously he’s American since he’s on this website. Mexican’s used as a sort of heritage thing instead of Hispanic or Latino, like Irish or Italian instead of just European.
I'm American born but still refer to myself as a Romanian because culturally that's what I am raised as. I'm still proud to be American and would defend anything American but my parents fled communism in Romania and I use it to explain my perspective and why I love America so much.
Then no. You aren't. Not only literally but you didnt even assimilate -by your own words-
Americans trace their lineage via descendants of the british colonies with few exceptions from then to now such as the irish, some french and i suppose African Americans who trace their lineage to those times.
Anything else is revisionist globalism history. Nb4 you literally say revionist history "its about muh ideology"
As if Romanians fought against the British colony in the revolution.
1st generation Cuban here. My grandfather spent 21 years in a political prison in Cuba. He was tortured for 21 years, all because he stood up to his government. My grandfather passed in 2015, but he lives on in me and my family. We will fight like hell in his honor. USA will NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!
I've got a colleague who spent 15 years in Castro's prisons because he criticized the government. He came to the US to be free, but here's the kicker: there are leftist faculty on my campus who refuse to speak to him, turn their heads to ignore him and walk on the other side of the street because somehow he's the problem--not communism.
Sickening. Political prisoner's in Cuba are/ were subjected to inhumane conditions and torture. Murderers and rapists mixed in with people who spoke against their government. Id love to send every latte commie in the US to a Cuba prison.
And they gave it right back to him by helping Trump get elected. This time it's going to be much more massive. Hispanics including Cubans dont like their businesses homes and families threatened by the BLM/Antifa parasites.
This, so much this - this should be top comment. I use this example all the time. If Obama and Democrats gave a shit about immigrants fleeing oppressive situations, Obama wouldn’t have ended wet foot dry foot policy 8 days before he left office. He did it because Cubans settle in Florida and vote like 80% republican, and they need to win Florida.
Lol I wonder why people who escaped socialism would be against socialism. Doesn’t make sense. The small Florida Venezuelan community is even more pro trump.
One of my coworkers escaped Cuba after they purged all the police in the town he lived in. His dad barely escaped and only because his wife was pregnant and townspeople hide them out of petty.
Imagine my shock. I assume that when you leave a communist country, seeing young obnoxious adults burning the country down in the name of the''revolution'' I can only imagine that that brings some negative nostalgia for Cuban people that fled Castro's utopia.
I'm a 53 yr old white guy in Tennessee. I work with about 15 Hispanic guys. My best friend is a citizen of Guatemalan descent. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence that (I understand not really proof) that this is very true. The world I believe will be stunned by the exit polling of Hispanics
Ya, I don't know how cutting the heads off Jesus statues was supposed to 'win over' the hispanic community to their side.
Or abortions for that matter.
The left has made a lot of invalid assumptions about the hispanic community. They're not fans of the black community, and actual Mexicans are VERY racist. To say BLM isn't their cup of tea, or Agua de Jamaica, would be a vast understatement.
If you speak with any Cuban, you will understand what it means to live under a socialist government. Every Cuban I have ever worked with has said the same things about how they were so thankful to get out of that country! Some of the stories I’ve heard would blow you away!
Cubans have always voted Republican in the state. This is not new. Trump needs to pull in the other Latino communities to gain votes, primarily the Puerto Ricans.
The funniest thing in Latin America is that people love their European heritage more than in North America.That is why white Americans and Hispanics/Latinos need to build better relationships.
(CNN:) Trump is a racist.
(Right:) where's your proof?
(MSNBC): CNN said so.
(Trump:) I want a border wall.
(Media:) He must be doing it because he is racist--remember, CNN and MSNBC said so.
(Leftists:) reeeeee, trump hates brown people reeeeeee. He doesn't want them in US reeeeeee.
(Latinos for trump)
(Leftists) Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. you can't, you don't understand. No, it's impossibru.
(Latinos:) Let's go compadre
Latinos would never say latinx. Spanish-speaking latinos wouldn't. Spanish is a hopelessly gendered language. There is no making Spanish gender neutral. It's stupid, condescending, idiotic, bs, for soybois and soygurls.
Hmm let me play identity politics: my family immigrated from Mexico, devout Catholics and work our asses off to make a living and guess what? WE'RE ALL VOTING TRUMP!
A bunch of expats from a country ruined by communism would rather side with the guy who is labelled racist than the side that openly espouses communism
We lived tyranny. We see that shit coming from a mile away. Miss me with that bullshit, exiled Cubans take a hard pass on anything that even remotely stinks of socialism.
If the left were watching this, they'd be ree-ing at how white the Cuban is. If you ever find one that does, tell them it's rich coming from the ideologues that call Shaun King black.
I don’t mean to be rude but I feel the Latino grouping does not make sense in general as there are many different cultures and races attached together under one group.it also does not help assimilation and batshit crazy politicians like AOC and Castro will target this for political goals.
If immigration is reduced or stopped ,it would help latinos assimilate faster.illegal immigration hurts because these aliens usually cause trouble in Latino communities.
This isn't rude at all. Only sjw soibois get upset at that. Illegal immigration needs to stop completely. The only Mexicans who want illegals to live here either:
A) don't speak English, and only speak Spanish
B) are on welfare
C) are racist and hate whites, blacks, and asians
D) illegals only live in the barrio where other Latinos live.
Liberals don't live in these areas and white liberals here in CA actively call my neighborhood a "bad area". Yes it's the barrio, but only illegal aliens are making it shit. No one here speaks English and everything looks like it's falling apart. Ffs the police don't even come in here, but guess what, we have no guns to protect ourselves since we live near all the schools in run down apartments.
Gee . . . I wonder why Cubans who fled a communist regime, on boats made of trash, would be voting against a party advocating for communism.
But, but...Drumph hates immigrants. CNN told me so.
Reddit loved him. Had someone say "but what about muh literacy rate". Over and over.
Castro had a reason for raising the "literacy rate" in Cuba.
He used the teaching of reading, writing, and even math to bombard students with non-stop Communist propaganda.
I couldn't find it quickly, but a Cuban refugee explained it very well in an article about a year ago.
and our school system copied him.
It's been shown through statistics (take them with a grain of salt) that reading for pleasure is on the decline in the United States and Europe, with a high percentage of college graduates never picking up another book after their education completes.
Yes, you can't push propaganda if your subjects are illiterate.
Important note: the CCP allows for paper copies of 1984 to be retailed within the country because the Party's view is that proles will be addicted to television and other visual/auditory media while the "Inner Party" will be educated enough to understand the concepts in the book but not turn against the regime.
The research on "theory of mind" has been scant but I for one believe it has a grain of truth.
right on.

Under those circumstances, we aren't doing that badly.
Same reason out infant mortality rates are higher. We consider some circumstances deaths that other countries don't.
And if you still couldn’t get with the program did they have another track where you were marched out to the beach and shot?
Data on that initiative is inconclusive, comrade.
Meritocracy in ation.
LOL really? 'Oh you took my farm and killed my son for fighting back? Lol thats fine, at least I can read and shit, haha we're good!'
It's easy to raise the literacy rate when you shoot all the illiterates.
Doesn't Iran claim 0 gay people? And didn't a bunch of academic leftists laugh when that Iranian leader laughed about it?
Iran throws gay people off rooftops so maybe the number is close to zero
I don't think the academics were in on the joke.
They did all of that in spite of communism, not because of it.
It's not surprising. Judging from my experiences in talking to (and breaking their minds) BernieBros, they either tend to be gigantic pieces of shit angry that they "have no choice but to work to live" (in a dead-end retail job because they have no qualifications for a better job or are too lazy to look for another profession) or naive teenage boys who are addicted to Reddit, are "atheist" because they think that makes them automatically smarter than their "not-hip" parents and are rebelling against a religious upbringing, usually substituting consumerism in place of it (cough cough OH BOY I LOVE MARVEL EXCEPT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THEM BEFORE 2012/2008/2000).

“Thanks a good thing.”
Seemed to me that the Dems pushed that bit of info out in the hopes it would keep him from being their primary candidate.
Back then Dems were like "No don't vote for Bernie he's a Communist!" now they've been overrun anyway.
I read an interview of a doctor in Cuba and he said he works 60 to 70 hours a week and makes the equivalent of $20 a month. Communism and socialism fail because there's no motivation for anyone to work hard, innovate or create anything of value. The elite take it all and own everything even your life, which is the ultimate dream of the leftists in America.
Yeah he praised their literacy program, which was communist indoctrination. God Bernie is fucking dumb.
Remember when John Kerry said Cuba's health care system was better than the US?
Easy there fash he was a good comrade who
jailed and executedtaught the Cuban people to read.Username checks out.
But obama thought he was pretty cool.
Immigrants.Bandits. Communists. Socialists (rebranded communist-lite).
Come to America to work.
I have seen something similar before. They are insane,
THE WHOLD DNC IS INSANE
This is the biggest misconception they have. I am an immigrant and I love this country and our president. Also, most of the immigrants I know have conservative views and they really like Trump. There's a huge difference between legal and illegal immigration.
Most hardcore liberals just don't know how good they have it here. They should spend a year or two in their utopian countries like Venezuela; I am pretty sure they would start to appreciate their own country.
lmao look at Rittenhouse
A Hispanic kid who wasn't shot to death by U.S. marshals for firing at them and yet the racist progressimps hate him.
Wow, those Cubans are going to be shocked when they learn that Cuba wasn't real socialism!
Comment of the day. Well played sir!!
Imagine how bad a place cuba must have been to cause you to put your children, often little kids, on homemade rafts and hoping they can survive the 100 mile long voyage.
Yes, let's implement all of that here.
and watched some of their friends/ children/ parents get eating alive by sharks.
But sharks don’t eat people REEEEEE!
Honestly if you actually read the research on shark behavior you’ll realize scientists have no fucking clue why sharks behave the way they do around humans, whether they want to eat them or not, etc. It’s mostly conjecture.
Yes the scientific knowledge of shark behavior can be summed up as ‘sharks like to bite things.’
Cubans aren't dumb. They can spot a communist from miles away. Best I've seen, really.
That latinx shit doesn't fly outside of college campuses.
What is latinx?
It's Latino and Latina merged into a single word , and then sprinkled with all the other 62 genders.
Yeah, it was meant to be "inclusive" to Latinos who don't "identify" as male or female, but rather as "non binary". The way I liked seeing Latino and Latina merged was around briefly (2005-2008ish) : [email protected] I wish that had caught on, if we must have a merger word.
They mad that there has only been two genders for the past few billion years
But the spartans like teh buttsecks. Checkmate, drumphkin.
They are also again being racists for thinking they know the language better than actual Latinos.
"It's okay, you're not white and don't know any better. Us white people will fix it for you! There, now you're latinx! Now you adhere to our cultural norms!"
More like linguistic colonizers. They invade somebody else’s language and force them to conform to their own cultural norms.
I imagine most latin-based languages drive the SJWs nuts.
you don't get it, calling women Latino is MISOGYNISTIC YOU BIGOT
Somebody tell them the entire Spanish language is gendered. It's binary.
El reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Roll the R's rrrrrrreeeeeeee
LatinAT
I actually did see, for one brief moment, Latino/a/x as the "woke" version. Maybe around 2012ish-?
Barf me a river.
What other genders? 😁
62 only? What year do you live in?
it lacks virtue signaling
No social justice points for "latin". Back to the gulag comrade.
There are 64 genders? That means men are better than 63 genders! BOYS BOYS BOYS! (guns firing)
apologies to Ryan Long
Next Group of Latinos they are going to scam once they found out Cubans see right through their trash veil.
It comes after latinw in the alphabet.
Literally true
It's a psychopathic way to spit on the culture and heritage of the not-small-amount of Latin countries and hundreds of millions of Latin language speakers.
My best guess is soft core porn targetting Latinos. Steamier than a standard telenovela but not as explicit as latinxxx. More Red Shoe Diaries but not full blown donkey show.
Whoa let's keep this decent. Nobody should be exposed to THAT donkey show.
I work for a large Fortune 500 that has bi-weekly town hall conferences, and let me tell you, it flies out side of university. I am part Hispanic and it drives me nuts..
File a complaint calling it offensive
Some white lady in HR will remind them why it’s not offensive and that they should be offended at the gendered version of the term instead.
Just cause some high up HR retards are using the word doesn't mean people actually like it. You are hispanic and you don't like it... nuff said. You are the norm, from all I've seen.
It just sounds so gay to see all these professionals using a made up word.
File a complaint that they are discriminating against your native language.
Pew research recently published extensive survey data showing just how out of touch the latinx phrase is. Observed corporate HR start using it in communications and shared in confidence the survey data with one of their team members. They're not using it in communication anymore.

Your HR is wrong. LatinX was invented by americans. It's not a real word in Spanish. The Royal Spanish Academy(i.e the global regulator of the Spanish language and the basis of what Spanish speakers are taught in school), rejected the use of latinx. It is not a word. It's a degenerate liberal made up word. https://www.clarin.com/sociedad/todes-real-academia-espanola-puso-freno-lenguaje-inclusivo_0_Z7Xon96OQ.html
Lmao ask about fillipinos how they feel about people trying to extend it to fillipinx. They don't even have a gendered term (as in almost no one from the Philippines uses fillipina) and it is literally a case of western whites just extending a term from other similar brown people (that also don't like the term) into them.
Filipinks, lol
FYI never say latinx unless you're mocking people who say latinx. We hate that shit. It's not a real word. If a liberal says "muh professor said that" you can remind them that the Royal Spanish Academy, which guides the standards of the language and is the basis of all Spanish grammar taught around the world, considered & rejected the use of LatinX.
I hear that hispanics overwhelmingly hate the whole "latinx" title in general.
It's very understandable why Cubans would be against fucking communists.
White leftists are horrible racists. They are the modern day KKK. They think they can speak for us "minorities" and purposely paint us as weak and helpless before the white man. It's not true and they are racist shitheads for promoting it.
I never go to Reddit anymore. If they're really bitching about this then they are genuinely retarded holy shit.
I stopped going to Reddit after TD was banned, and tapered off well before then.
It's a Chinese agitprop shithole. No reason to go there.
It's hard to go to the frontpage that's for sure, even as tailored as mine is. Anti-Trump and leftist anti-white rhetoric is everywhere, sports subs, video game subs, it's even crept into fight subs. Right now on r/fightporn a video is stickied of a a trans beating a "transphobe" and has been stickied for weeks now, I refuse to click on it. Every other post is "racist get's what he deserves" and it's a white guy getting stomped by a black guy. A few months ago that guy that got beat down in the Macy's, he was a manager I believe, it was hot shit on that sub and the title was something like I mentioned above, claiming he was racist and used the n-word. Anybody that doubted the narrative was downvoted into oblivion and as it turns out, the black dude literally sucker punched the guy and continued to beat him as he begged for "no reason". There was a pic of a trans person and I can't remember exactly what this person was claiming to be but it was something as simple as "proud trans gamer". It was just a pic of a tranny and it was heralded. Anything gay or trans or black is front page material and 99% of it doesn't deserve to be. Reddit is trash.
Did you see the r/animemes stuff? They banned the word "trap" and the whole sub fucking revolted against the mods. Apparently it's transphobic... but traps are cross dressers not trans... hence the "trap".
The thing I have notice is in the occasional use I still have is that a lot of the "normie" users are starting to disagree vocally, the movie cuties seems to have finally gotten them talking on other topics.
Dude reddit is straight up like a cult sometimes, they’re so toxic and negative I couldn’t stand them anymore. I remember a thread about that old guy that was pushed by a cop and everybody was just like “Omagerd! Cops are evil! They attacked an innocent old man!”
And here I was, watching the video, thinking, well...looks like that old guy lost his balance and tripped waaaay harder than they pushed. (And upon further research, turns out that dude was a known cop hater and antagonizer). But of course anything against the hivemind was instantly attacked and downvoted. Fuck reddit.
But they think they some somehow better than other social media. When in reality they are probably the same tier as Twitter, maybe slightly better than Tik Tok in terms of collective intelligence.
Guaranteed that they are genuinely retarded.
Immigrants have a responsibility to assimilate into American values and norms.
"No! How dare you! Immigrants can't be expected to assimilate into their new country! Intolerance! You have to print legal forms in every possible language translation! You racist!"
Also.
"Here's a dictionary of woke SJW language. You have to assimilate into woke now because colored people are naturally LGBTQPEDO+ allies. You have to be part of the collective marxist revolution, bigot."
That's the thing with cultural appropriation too.
"You need to embrace all cultures and cater to them, bigot"
"REEEE are you wearing something from another culture!"
"latinx" is gay as fuck
Source: Am Hispanic
Concure... latinx is a straight up Maricada🤣
"Latinx" sounds like a pokemon name.
But are you HispaniX?
Why wouldn't they hate it? Cubans are families from Cuba, not Mexico, but the left and the MSM lump them all into one demographic, even though they are distinct and different cultures. Latinx is insulting.
Latix isn't a thing. They are Latino's. Females are Latinas - the come only in two forms: short ancient tortilla lady, and hot weather girl. No exceptions
Latinos love their family, love manliness in men and femininity in women (see point 1)
Not super stoked on the gays. Not hateful, just traditional.
They all escaped communist shit holes to be here, so they can work their dicks off and send money back to their families and send their kids to college. You can't blame them for trying to get all the free shit they are eligible to receive.
Conclusion - legal Latinos tend to be the most based.
"And you want to be my Latix salesman..."
Vandelay! Say Vandelay!
To add credibility to your list, the Royal Spanish Academy, the highest "authority" on the Spanish language of all 20+ Spanish speaking countries, already considered and rejected the use of latinx. There is no room for argument. LatinX is not a word. It's liberal BS.
Sending money back to communist shitholes doesn't sound very based to me.
Family goes first, mi amigo.
Taking care of your family is most based thing that there is.
If taking care of my family comes first, I probably wouldn't try to escape my communist shithole country without them and then prop up my homeland's sham economy with foreign money. Everyone on here is all fired up to fight commies, but then act like leaving your family behind with them is FUCKING BASED. Doesn't make any sense.
Yes, It does not make sense.
The world is not a perfect place.
Leaving the family is the last resort effort for them and a great sacrifice. Cubanos are one of the finest Americans, relatively speaking.
My left behind relatives were killed so no one to send money to. Does that make you feel better?
That no money is leaving the country? Yes. That your relatives were killed? No.
The freeloading invaders aren't who we're talking about.
You wouldn't? It's just different circumstances.
The average ANNUAL income in Guatemala is $1,619. If you're making $18/hr framing houses - you make more in 2 weeks than your dad makes in a year back home.
I'm not saying I want to engineer more remittances - because you're right - it bleeds equity out of our country. But at the individual level, sending your mom a years salary cuz you're flush with cash - that's based.
That being said - my story perfectly illustrates why we need merit based immigration. That way we're not depressing wages for the trades, and sending engineer money over to India
My town is full of them, havfled NY and they are nothing if not family oriented.
We've talked about it before on this sub but that's one thing I can't grip about blacks in America. What you just said about latinos could almost equally be said about blacks at large, especially if you exclude the ghettos. Most everyday normal American blacks I've interacted with have large extended families oftentimes having grandparents living in the home or live closeby and are heavily involved with the family, think the family from Family Matters. They're religious, also very traditional about gay shit. Yet they continue to vote Democrat year after year even though the Democrat platform is counter to their values.
This is wildly accurate, actually
We are not race realists.the conservative aspects of blacks are just how people normally behave around the world but most of the other values of their community line up with leftists. Leftist are very identitarian and blacks are the most identitarian group in America after Jews. The blacks you see everyday and interact with, are just a small fraction or outlier of the black community.Blacks can become more conservative and non-tribal but we have to be realistic and know the behaviour of the various demographics in the country.
The word "latinx" pisses me off so much and that's coming from a Mexican. Here in Dallas only liberal fat Hispanic girls and dikes use that word.
🤣😂🤣😆😆 it’s true it’s true!
you call yourself a Mexican yet live in Dallas. Why dont you call yourself American?
??
Obviously he’s American since he’s on this website. Mexican’s used as a sort of heritage thing instead of Hispanic or Latino, like Irish or Italian instead of just European.
Exactly. I consider myself 100% American but it's a heritage thing. Thank you ThickCheney!
Do you think a white man born in Japan is Japanese? How about Palestinian babies born in Britain?
You're indoctrinated with revisionist history about what an American is.
The degree in which globalism has infected the right is disgusting.
You probably think its an ideology which just proves your revisionist education on what an American is.
Im sure you'll call me isms and such because you dont want to accept the actual reality of what an American is.
The colonial army did not die for your beliefs, despite how what i said makes you feel.
You know what I mean. 😐
I'm American born but still refer to myself as a Romanian because culturally that's what I am raised as. I'm still proud to be American and would defend anything American but my parents fled communism in Romania and I use it to explain my perspective and why I love America so much.
Then no. You aren't. Not only literally but you didnt even assimilate -by your own words-
Americans trace their lineage via descendants of the british colonies with few exceptions from then to now such as the irish, some french and i suppose African Americans who trace their lineage to those times.
Anything else is revisionist globalism history. Nb4 you literally say revionist history "its about muh ideology"
As if Romanians fought against the British colony in the revolution.
Yea most latinos hate it too, or have never even heard of it because it's that fucking stupid of a term that no one uses it
1st generation Cuban here. My grandfather spent 21 years in a political prison in Cuba. He was tortured for 21 years, all because he stood up to his government. My grandfather passed in 2015, but he lives on in me and my family. We will fight like hell in his honor. USA will NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!
I've got a colleague who spent 15 years in Castro's prisons because he criticized the government. He came to the US to be free, but here's the kicker: there are leftist faculty on my campus who refuse to speak to him, turn their heads to ignore him and walk on the other side of the street because somehow he's the problem--not communism.
Sickening. Political prisoner's in Cuba are/ were subjected to inhumane conditions and torture. Murderers and rapists mixed in with people who spoke against their government. Id love to send every latte commie in the US to a Cuba prison.
Heck, just to regular Cuba should be enough to show them.
Sounds like some racist segregationism they pulled in the 50s.
Si
If you want Cuba Freedom.... you want Trump in Office.
Didnt Che guevera hate black people?
Che would have put a bullet in the back of any "non-binary" person's head as well
Now his face on a shirt makes you “progressive”.
Hilarious how the angry Bernie bro commies are driving minorities from the party like it’s a cattle drive.
Intelligence? Out out out!
Cubans voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016. Nobody hates commies more than the Cubans.
Them and the Polish.
True enough
And Romanians.
And Americans
Did they try calling them latinx?
Did that help?
My grandfather came to the US from Mexico.
He told his family to refer to themselves as Americans.
Cubans still remember Obama giving them a middle finger before leaving office.
And they gave it right back to him by helping Trump get elected. This time it's going to be much more massive. Hispanics including Cubans dont like their businesses homes and families threatened by the BLM/Antifa parasites.
This, so much this - this should be top comment. I use this example all the time. If Obama and Democrats gave a shit about immigrants fleeing oppressive situations, Obama wouldn’t have ended wet foot dry foot policy 8 days before he left office. He did it because Cubans settle in Florida and vote like 80% republican, and they need to win Florida.
For those who don’t know this happened: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/01/12/obama-ends-wet-foot-dry-foot-policy-cubans/96505172/
Based doesn't care about race.
Lol I wonder why people who escaped socialism would be against socialism. Doesn’t make sense. The small Florida Venezuelan community is even more pro trump.
Interesting how anyone who escaped socialism votes Trump!
I can honestly say I don't know of any of my Latino friends that AREN'T voting for El Trumpo
One of my coworkers escaped Cuba after they purged all the police in the town he lived in. His dad barely escaped and only because his wife was pregnant and townspeople hide them out of petty.
Imagine my shock. I assume that when you leave a communist country, seeing young obnoxious adults burning the country down in the name of the''revolution'' I can only imagine that that brings some negative nostalgia for Cuban people that fled Castro's utopia.
The old hand Cubans need to get the young people on the right track.
I'm a 53 yr old white guy in Tennessee. I work with about 15 Hispanic guys. My best friend is a citizen of Guatemalan descent. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence that (I understand not really proof) that this is very true. The world I believe will be stunned by the exit polling of Hispanics
Ya, I don't know how cutting the heads off Jesus statues was supposed to 'win over' the hispanic community to their side.
Or abortions for that matter.
The left has made a lot of invalid assumptions about the hispanic community. They're not fans of the black community, and actual Mexicans are VERY racist. To say BLM isn't their cup of tea, or Agua de Jamaica, would be a vast understatement.
If you speak with any Cuban, you will understand what it means to live under a socialist government. Every Cuban I have ever worked with has said the same things about how they were so thankful to get out of that country! Some of the stories I’ve heard would blow you away!
Doesn't surprise. Many actual Cubans were literally blown away. With lead.
Sorry, my dog has already sent two mail in ballots for Trump.
The bottom should say “let’s go kill some commies compadre”
Of course they are. Cubans are based. Just like Poles and Hungarians and anyone else who actually had to live under Communism.
haha, LatinX.
Yeah... Latinos don't like that term.
LOL “Latinx” Outside academia, no hispanic use that term. Ever.
Calling a latino or latina a "latinx" actually will piss them off.
Please, do this more, lefties.
Thank you. I mock this all the time at my job (higher ed). I purposefully pronounce it: Luh-Teenks.
Really riles 'em up.
For the record we don't use "Latinx". They pronounce it "Latin-ecks" instead of "Latin-equis", so it's obviously an anglo thing
Que es Latinx? LOL. Latinos for Trump. LatinX for Biden
MAXIMO
If Trump takes Florida that goes a looonnggg way to winning.
That's a really important swing state.
Cubans have always voted Republican in the state. This is not new. Trump needs to pull in the other Latino communities to gain votes, primarily the Puerto Ricans.
The funniest thing in Latin America is that people love their European heritage more than in North America.That is why white Americans and Hispanics/Latinos need to build better relationships.
He cannot win without it.
(CNN:) Trump is a racist.
(Right:) where's your proof?
(MSNBC): CNN said so.
(Trump:) I want a border wall.
(Media:) He must be doing it because he is racist--remember, CNN and MSNBC said so.
(Leftists:) reeeeee, trump hates brown people reeeeeee. He doesn't want them in US reeeeeee.
(Latinos for trump)
(Leftists) Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. you can't, you don't understand. No, it's impossibru.
(Latinos:) Let's go compadre
Latinos would never say latinx. Spanish-speaking latinos wouldn't. Spanish is a hopelessly gendered language. There is no making Spanish gender neutral. It's stupid, condescending, idiotic, bs, for soybois and soygurls.
I'm an immigrant. I had to apply. Fake news never explains why it is important to cut in line.
Hmm let me play identity politics: my family immigrated from Mexico, devout Catholics and work our asses off to make a living and guess what? WE'RE ALL VOTING TRUMP!
A bunch of expats from a country ruined by communism would rather side with the guy who is labelled racist than the side that openly espouses communism
imaginemyshock.wav
Link to salt!
We have the most based Cubans (shout out to Lion Ted!)
Trump will get 3 times more latino votes than 2016, 3 times more black votes, but biden is ahead....ya sure
Any links to reddit?
We lived tyranny. We see that shit coming from a mile away. Miss me with that bullshit, exiled Cubans take a hard pass on anything that even remotely stinks of socialism.
If the left were watching this, they'd be ree-ing at how white the Cuban is. If you ever find one that does, tell them it's rich coming from the ideologues that call Shaun King black.
Also Haitians and Venezuelans.
Agree have mexican heritage and many are batshi t crazy about welfare.
I don’t mean to be rude but I feel the Latino grouping does not make sense in general as there are many different cultures and races attached together under one group.it also does not help assimilation and batshit crazy politicians like AOC and Castro will target this for political goals. If immigration is reduced or stopped ,it would help latinos assimilate faster.illegal immigration hurts because these aliens usually cause trouble in Latino communities.
This isn't rude at all. Only sjw soibois get upset at that. Illegal immigration needs to stop completely. The only Mexicans who want illegals to live here either:
A) don't speak English, and only speak Spanish
B) are on welfare
C) are racist and hate whites, blacks, and asians
D) illegals only live in the barrio where other Latinos live.
Liberals don't live in these areas and white liberals here in CA actively call my neighborhood a "bad area". Yes it's the barrio, but only illegal aliens are making it shit. No one here speaks English and everything looks like it's falling apart. Ffs the police don't even come in here, but guess what, we have no guns to protect ourselves since we live near all the schools in run down apartments.
My Venezuelan family members are too!
This Cuban is def voting for GEOTUS!!
Uhhh, duh? Anyone who is surprised doesn’t know any Cubans. In other news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and BLM is a Marxist organization.
A friendly reminder that it was Obama that ended automatic asylum for Cubans who risked life and limb to escape the the Dictatorship of Cuba.
