It seriously seems like half the time a black flag anarchy account shows up in my Twitter notifications it's to promote US imperialist propaganda narratives against Syria, China, Russia etc, and it's like yeah nice anarchy dude, being a pro bono propagandist for the worst government on earth.

Whenever the US empire rolls out a propaganda campaign against a disobedient government, it's impossible to circulate narratives opposing that government without facilitating the US propaganda campaign, and therefore all the deadly agendas that campaign is designed to advance.

Before they launch missiles, they launch propaganda campaigns. Before they wage siege warfare, they wage narrative warfare. You are responsible for the narratives you choose to circulate in the world. You are responsible for choosing to participate in imperialist aggressions.

-

The US government is waging wars around the world, circling the planet with hundreds of military bases, ramping up nuclear standoffs and working to destroy any nation which disobeys it, so naturally the news media are urgently warning us about the horrible tyrannical government of Cuba.

-

The correct answer to "What should be done about Cuba's problems?" is for the US to end the blockade. After that happens the correct answer to "What should be done about Cuba's problems?" is "None of your f*cking business."

-

"I oppose the embargo, but the Cuban regime-"

But-but-but-shhhh. You shush your beautiful mouth. The US government has all the billionaire media outlets in the western world conducting propaganda for it. It doesn't need your help. Just oppose the embargo.

-

"The embargo isn't why Cuba is poor! It's poor because of communism!"

Okay well if it makes no difference can you please end the embargo?

"No."

-

"Cuba claims it can care for all its people using socialism, yet it experiences poverty when we deliberately impoverish it. Checkmate, commies."
