Cubans are getting internet

bbc.com/news/technology-46456944


Thoughts? I think this is a great change. Maybe we can get some Cubans to post here or do an AMA. Literally every Cuban I have met on the internet is some upper-middle class Gusano from Florida that has never been to Cuba.

fuck. I was thinking of moving to Cuba to escape the internet.

That article only raises more questions. Will it be totally open like in most Western countries? Will it just block a few political sites like in Venezuela, Turkey and Russia? Or will it have an extensive censorship system like in China that requires some computer/network-savviness to bypass? Each system has its pros and cons sociopolitically.

Same, but as a side effect the internet might become more tolerable now.

On NPR it said that they would maintain their strict censorship model, slow speeds, and relatively costly access. Google has been involved with the entire operation of boosting speeds and setting up this 3G network so this is definitely at least partially the result of an NSA op to liberalize Cuba.

Finally we'll get some genuine cuban shitposting

The Internet was a mistake

True.

Hopefully they'll be able to offer some quality online services instead of US corporate garbage. This could help them organize a distinctly Cuban kind of democracy, if played well.

It'll be interesting to see Cuban perspectives of their country and politics in general. Overall the conversation online is heavily skewed towards the diaspora in the States, which obviously has been very biased.

So they can only access it on phones or what?

this is great news, they will educate the world about the riches of socialist life and bring about change to the world by connecting with people around the world, spreading socialist ideals
nothing can go wrong with this for sure
also, you guys think i'll get a cute cuban guy to post his dick on leftyb?

you could also just put one of those USB sticks on your laptop and computer, and it kinda works using a kitchen strainer covered in aluminium attached with some wire wrapped around the stick to get a better signal if your pc is in a bad spot

Besides retarded Americans carrying on their tradition of pretending to be from other countries because they know in their hearts they're right.

Wait they literally don't have internet? Whack.
Lets rev up those goddamn cuban shitposts boys. If I am not called a stinky gusano-american mutt by this time next year its a failure.

the internet was fine back when it was all about learning and spreading information, then Silicon Valley consumerized it and turned it into a narcissism industry with dumb shit like social media, and then colleges added paywalls to all of their information.
shit like SciHub, Libgen, and Lainchan are what the internet should've become, but alas the oligopolies said otherwise.

I dont want to jinx anything
But i feel this would end badly
I dont want cubans would either turn reactionary or lolbert

Cubans have had internet access for a little while now but its all in public spaces like coffee shops etc. Some cubans amplify the signal and sell internet access as well i believe. But this is a good development and hopefully the price goes down because most people wont be able to afford one of these mobile plans.

Get ready for the CIA to amp up its propaganda

...

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Cuba is gonna be full of Zig Forumstards now?

all the ==REAL== Gusanos are in Florida dude, Cubans who live there are at least tacitly approving of the party, Raul, and Diaz. If anything Zig Forums and twitter will be flooded with Castro memes.

it's definitely not gonna happen like that. Cubans are going to experience decades of culture shock before memes become a thing.

Wow it took them how long?

Decades of culture shock in a couple of weeks and then they'll be diving in.

Memes are a pre-internet phenomenon

Cubans will be spouting boomer US rhetoric in less than 5 years from now

Or just make a point of getting to them first.

Cubans overwhelmingly like their government, they aren't going to turn because le epic Fox News and Youtube guys say dumb shit about Castro

not only this but they'll be lead to believe it's some kind of utopia, like Kruschev did with when he allowed American advertisers to come into Russia throughout the 60s.
then when it all collapses they'll be begging for it to return again like the former Soviet Union.

I doubt an obscure leftist board in a website run by nazis will reach Cuban internet traffic before the CIA does

You really underestimate the effects of propaganda

propaganda has to coincide with lived reality to really take effect, not to mention Cubans are educated unlike Mexican or American boomers

they have decent schools but we don't know if they all are.
no it doesn't. ideology marketers will cherrypick America into being a wealthy utopia where everyone is rich. we are much richer than Cuba so that could happen.

How hard is it to move to Cuba from the US?

Just out ajitprop them.

I’m sorry but if the average Cuban sees shit like “ communism = anuddah shoah” and then looks outside and sees white Cubans he’s seen his whole life he’s gonna realize American right wingers are retarded

This, if cubas education is satisfactory and the majority of the population isn't baindead then allowing them access to the internet would be fine. I suggest Cuba to add a course in Primary education outlining the common propaganda tactics of the CIA, George Soros, and it's goons on the internet just to make sure they don't fall for the same tricks like the Polish have.

I thought they already had internet?

So I guess we just gotta ramp up our anti-capitalist propaganda then to counteract anglo media exposure.

Just move to the rural midwest or Appalachia and you'll have a choice between dial-up, expensive (slow) broadband, expensive cell data, or no internet at all.

Zig Forums is around 1% of right wingers

that user is a retard but cuba's GDP per capita is higher than jamaica, haiti and the dominican republic
it's really great for carribean standards

do not look at Zig Forums as an example of effective right wing classcuckoldry tactics. if Cubans receive cherrypicked propaganda about the riches of Capitalist life like they did in the USSR it will fall.

Never a good idea, most internet companies are CIA-vehicles. In b4 every youtube recommendation in Cuba is a pragerU video.

They will craft propaganda deftly, there's plenty of Miami gusanos who can still get this kind of information via family ties and such.

It was slow and prohibitively expensive though. The only actual Cubans I've talked to online have been computer engineers working for the Cuban government that I assume had free access for work.

no I don't think they physically even have it. Cuban governers probably only get access overseas or from isolated areas.
they have computer networks, but they are still disconnected from each other so it's not an internet. kinda like the 80s.

actually the 70s if I think about

Except they'll also likely be flooded with info about how shitty most of the US is. It's been getting harder and harder to hide recently, even the UN is saying that its becoming 3rd world tier.

attn Cuba baboon: FUCK reggaton music

A bit of an oxymoron. They're definition of white is a marco rubio 2 shades darker.your average "white" Cuban is around 25-30% European at best. Most genuine white people were killed during the revolution out of a combination of racism and brown communists assuming white = rich.

can you stormniggers ever finish a post without spewing some retardedly asinine bullshit?

It's true, though. White Cubans were wealthier on average so communist would just shoot anything whiter than a paper bag. They walked through the maternity wards with machetes and bottles of concentrated battery acid.

[citation needed]

Thats bullshit. Cuban government censuses show that 64% of Cubans identify as white; Castro and Che both were and identified as white.

Identified. Beige was considered white. Does this look white?

He just looks like a med man who spent too much time in the sun

He's even browner than the most greasy greasies dago sicilian wops I've seen.

Russia, China, and Iran need to create their own internet honestly.

If Cubans think beige is white, the same argument made before still applies. Why didn't they kill the entirety of what was considered White including those who were beige? It doesn't matter, because its bullshit with no proof and there were light skinned whites like Hemingway who literally helped fund Castro and were good friends with him.

racial categories mean different things in different locations

Cuba deserves internet.

The thin was that Russians were presented a very one-sided view of the US. While Cubans would see all the riches of the Hamptons, but they would also see all the anti-police riots, the lead water, and the school shootings.
