Castro did send a message to Moscow indicating he was willing to sacrifice the island to nuke the US, but I think it’s pretty clear he was just frustrated with the fact that the USSR and US weren’t involving Cuban leadership enough in general, and was basically just trying to get Moscow’s attention. At least that’s what I remember, it’s been a long time since I read about it though
I’m in a similar boat. There is no anti-natalist program or anything, like I have no intention of chasing people around about it, but at the same time deciding to have a child, for me, seems like playing dice with someone else’s life. Especially in the world we’ve inherited, but it’s not like things were perfect 50 years ago or whatever.
With that said, all the anti natalist spaces I’ve encountered online have been full of cranks at best, xenophobes at worst.
I agree, but I think practically it works. People who are totally comfortable with slaughter probably aren’t generally going to go vegan, but the vast majority of people would be traumatized by the experience. So it’s not very useful like philosophically or whatever, but in most cases it makes sense for real people. I’m not making any sense.
And in general, even though I’m vegan, I just have no faith that talking to people about it will actually produce a better world or whatever, so idk why I’m even weighing in. I think revolution is more likely than animal liberation.
