western governments ~~pussy footing around with awful regimes that~~ kill their own citizens [and are genocidal pedos]

FTFY. I really wouldn’t wanna live in Cuba but don’t tell me the west are the good guys.

Btw "pussy“ as an insult has become kind of weird to me, what makes you use that for something you perceive as "weak“? E.g. being bitch would serve a similar purpose but the meaning of the word seems to actually relate to what you’re trying to express no? Honestly curious.

Btw "pussy“ as an insult

That's not what the term "pussyfoot" means.

Etymology

From pussy (“feline”) +‎ foot; because of the light and careful tread of cats.

Interesting, thank you! not a native speaker but I guess I could have looked this up myself.

western governments kill their own citizens

How many citizens has Canada killed recently? Is it upwards of 30,000?

Can you point to me any recent Canadian government massacres?

Also what makes "dick" mean being rude or "dickhead" meaning acting stupid? who knows

Wasn't this supposed to be about Cuba? Why are you bringing Iran into it?

My comment was

Same with the UK not letting the US use bases against Iran, why are western governments pussy footing around with awful regimes that kill their own citizens?

but hey while we're here:

Political scientists characterize the political system of Cuba as a single-party authoritarian regime where political opposition is not permitted.[12][13][14] There are elections, but they are not considered democratic.[15][16] According to the V-Dem Democracy Indices, Cuba is the second least democratic country in Latin America.[17] Censorship of information (including limits to internet access) is extensive,[18][19][20] and independent journalism is repressed in Cuba;[21] Reporters Without Borders has characterized Cuba as one of the worst countries in the world for press freedom.[22][23]

Friends of yours?

Oh, hell, sorry, I had no idea that the "V-Dem Democracy Index" judged that Cuba was the most evil country on earth. Yes, in that case I hope the nazi pedophile government of the united states completely cuts off all fuel, food, and medical supplies, and drops bombs as necessary, until every last man woman and child on the island has been freed. Then they can build some beautiful casinos over the rubble, like they plan to do with Gaza.

Yes. Cuba is lovely. But you're moving goalposts again. When you decided to weirdly include Iran in all this, you included them due a massacre of 30k people. That's a far cry from your complaints about Cuba. So why are you conflating them as though they were the same place?

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

They're both autocratic. Iran actually has more democratic features.

Mossad rioters being called peaceful protestors is the warmongering narrative. Israel media proudly boasting about Mossad rioters, and Ted Cruz calling to arm the Mossad rioters more, exposes the pure demonism of the empire. This message was provided in the off chance that you are fooled by demonic agenda, instead of an active promoter of demonism.
