Unfortunately the US is determined to make life hell for Cubans. The blockade has gotten worse and they’re being deprived of fuel and other necessities. Hell they can’t even get enough syringes for the covid vaccine they developed because of the blockade. So despite great advances in LGBTQ rights they are going to be starved out or possibly invaded in the near future.
Yes. They even have state provided gender affirming care.

This feels a little defeatist. Obviously cyberpunk media is usually meant to be dystopian and bleak but a common theme among them is resistance. That’s part of the ‘punk’ in cyberpunk. Consider how prevalent hackers are in cyberpunk and one can realize that the robo-police can be shut down by someone with a keyboard. As for everyone being hyper-individualist and out for themselves, one could say the same about our world rn, or at least in much of the West but that’s because most people under capitalism are not class conscious. Building Marxism requires educating oppressed people on why their interests as a class are aligned against the oppressor class. It may seem impossible to create this better alternative to capitalism, especially in the context of a cyberpunk setting, but people thought the same thing about monarchy and feudalism. Just my two cents.
Jesse Jackson maybe?
If someone doesn’t feel empathy for Palestinians after we all saw tens of thousands of children get massacred for the crime of not being Israeli then they were never gonna be convinced through kind words. Also that second paragraph just isn’t true. Plenty of people, I might even argue that the majority of people, view Palestinians as “deserving of moral value” despite most of us not being Palestinian.
I think Mexico is still providing them fuel but I can’t recall if they’ve been blocked from doing so atm. But yeah more countries should provide aid. I fear America will take a note from Israel’s playbook and block aid getting in similar to how aid is blocked from getting into Gaza
