I’m not skeptical per se. I’ve just been propagandized so fucking much—I grew up watching those propagandocumentaries on the National Geographic Channel about the DPRK, etc., fr that was what I watched instead of cartoons lol.

Pretend I’m a lib who you’re trying to convince, or something. In addition to calming this feeling in my gut like something isn’t making sense, I want to be able to make this argument, myself.

You can go there, if you are privileged enough to be able to afford to travel, let alone international travel. Flights to Asia are incredibly expensive from the Americas.

Though tickets to Cuba from the US are pretty cheap, I'm planning on going later in the summer and it's only like $310 round trip.

Remember that you are there for "Support for the Cuban People"

Oh for sure. I'll definitely remember to tell the US government that.

I'm so glad I live in the land of the free where I can be told what I can and can't do outside my own country.
