It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Honestly its rude to be invited by a country to meet their president who decided to respond to your criticisms of their administration only to not show up and go meet the opposition.
Being invided and then no showing shows complete disregard to basic diplomatic Etiquette since it was a mission to show solidarity against the embargo
Bonus socdems being cringe part 4.5: about another member that didnt show up to the presidential meeting
Deeply unserious people
It's written by DSA members trying to improve the DSA, it seems pretty clear they'd focus on what they want to improve rather than back-patting themselves on aid they brought.
If the scope of your plan for Cuba is limited to the amount of supplies you can carry in suitcases, you might want to find more productive places to focus your efforts to help Cuba. I don't think it's unreasonable to not focus on the drop-in-the-bucket level of material support their delegation was able to bring for an entire nation. Either way, I guarantee the writers of the article can walk and chew gum just like the rest of us can.
Then why fixate on the two members of a two dozen person delegation you've got beef with?
I don't see anything in this article about the next step in extending relief to Cuba. I don't even see a "follow my link to learn how to help us do X".
The impression I get from this article is that the visit was a mistake, the DSA International Committee won't be following up or doing anything like it again, and members should feel bad about even making this much of an effort.
Your criticism seems to boil down to "they should be doing X instead of writing this article" and I must once again suggest that they can do more than just write an article. The purpose of the article is clear. You might not like it, but it doesn't mean the article is the sum total of the writer's efforts.
What a silly argument. I'm done.
zifnab often comments like this, going in circles on minutiae. I just no longer respond
Yeah, I had them blocked for a while because of it and then unblocked them not too long ago. Not mad at them or anything just.. don't want to get dragged into this kind of circular silliness all the time.
