oh boy, it’s almost as though people who immigrated out of their socialist country into the far-right United States had a political motive for the move, and therefore aren’t the authorities on the conditions of the country they left.
When an anti-com says “yeah but Cuban immigrants” I really wish I could simply take them to Cuba so they could talk to actual Cubans.
I forget the statistic, but a majority of Chinese citizens are happy with their government. That’s real Chinese citizens, living in China, right now. But, sure, listen to the guy who’s the grandson of someone who fled the country before Socialism could start to be built. They’re clearly the person to be listening to. Like, their fuckin’ grandfather was probably part of the reason the revolution needed to happen.
Really the whole “yeah but my friend is [Cuban/Chinese/Ex-SR nationality/etc.] so they’re right” argument strikes me in much the same way the “I have a black friend so I’m not racist” argument does.
People who left will also have certain bitterness toward the homeland. They will not hope to see their homeland develop better as that will make them question their choices. Hence the bias.

I moved from Poland to Italy and Italy to Germany and truth be told, I’m mostly just sad of how these countries turned out.
It’s 90% lmao
