Absolutely wild that she's suddenly become a Cuban refugee as of about 24 hours ago, when a Wikipedia edit war deleted any reference to her birth certificate being from Mexico City. The page is now locked down and cannot be changed.

fedposting Nothing nefarious going on here.

    It was fuckin nuts watching some 2 hour old accounts deftly navigate Wikipedia's editorial standards lingo like they were fluent in a strange language that's all shibboleths.

    fedposting "According to WP:NP, WP:STDNORV, WP:LMAOPLANE, and WP:CUMZONE this reference needs to be deleted. It is nit-picky and biased. Bye-bye!"

    cop "Agreed! WP:WTFSTFU should preside here."

    the-pigs "Yes, this is clearly a typical WP:STDNORV v. WP:PEEPOO situation, and we need to defer to the WP:CUMZONE standard here."

    Gusanos dude…

    They just love doing the same things Zionists do. Call to mind some sort of persecution, be it antisemitism or racism against black people or in this case, ICE raids, and pretend to have any solidarity with the victims of these things, just to enable their bloodthirsty ends.

    No doubt this CIA agent got the green light from HQ to be able to criticize policy, don’t think I’ve ever met an actual Cuban American who looks like her who would ever say something like that.

    There is ... so much I can say about the heartbreaking things the immigrant community is experiencing here in the US. [But I won't lol, instead I'll talk about how Cuba yearns for regime change]

    Cool thanks very helpful very sincere concern I'm sure.

    Who is this even for? Is there some audience for neoconservative wars with a low-effort liberal facade? Have we regressed from repeating 2016 to now repeating 2004?

    taps on Masses, Elites, and Rebels

    It's to downplay actions of the US by demonizing its enemies. If you make it a point about how much worse other countries are, you justify the conditions at home. "The US is bad but it's still the best there is. We may have paramilitary death squads murdering people in the street, but at least we don't have communist gangs out murdering people in their own plantations homes!"
