Didn't you guys know that only after formal charges are filed can you assume someone might have done something bad?

Unless it's against a company. Then it still doesn't count.

If they're so "casual" that they forgot Loki escaped in Endgame they probably forgot he was killed before the snap too I agree with this
Loki dies at the very beginning of IW and it becomes a major focus point for Thor throughout the movie. Conversely, Loki's escape in Endgame happens very quickly in the middle and the only part the protags give a shit about is losing the Space Stone, so it's not really comparable on the importance they place on it at the time.

Oh hey, this is my line of work (employment defense) in the state I work at. I should read this Complaint.

Before reading it, however, I will say complaints are just bare allegations. I've seen all sorts of crazy shit alleged that is almost never true, at worst usually a misunderstanding. It's rare I get a client actually harboring overt discriminatory or otherwise oppressive workplaces.

in other words, you're essentially defending them by comparing them to antivaxxers and antimaskers?

I mean I don't think most of them are actually afraid of anything and I know they don't have even a spec of actual history to justify that supposed fear.

Any Cuban exile can become an American resident:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Adjustment_Act
What exactly is the fear? Theyll be stripped of residency and sent back, where the now not-embargoed Cuba will punish them? Even though multiple times since the Revolution, Cuba has legally allowed its citizens to emigrate?

I really need to know.

Exactly. That is the fear. Refugee status ending and facing persecution. I've stated I think they're wrong. You clearly think they're wrong. But that doesn't mean they don't fear it and it doesn't make them bad people.

Also seeing you of all people going with "a country did a good thing a few times" as a reason to dismiss them ever doing something bad later on is jarring.

p sure he's pointing out the "i got mine" attitude we all hate, not them having views he disagrees with

notice how he's talking about expats who suffered and hated the embargo while living there, not your average neocon

There's a word for taking something like a meme and applying it to everyone in a group. It's called a stereotype.

Do you honestly think every ex-pat who opposes thawing relations does so because they hate their ex-countrymen? They fear what will happen long-term if we no longer consider them refugees from a hostile regime. Personally I think that fear is misplaced, but it's not like this country hasn't been party to worse.

Those support it are bad people.

My response is that at some point you should learn that someone having an opinion or two you don't agree with doesn't automatically make them a bad person, even if they're actually wrong.

Or, to put it another way, you didn't have to attack Cuban Americans for your point to be right.

If you want to argue plantation owner is incorrect/broad, yes sure, fine, it wasnt meant to be literal.

So were the rest of them just non-land owning venture capitalists then? Not sure where all this wealth would be coming from.

Not all of them, I was being flip, but its not a secret that a large portion of the Cuban exiles are formerly wealthy landowners.

Its literally a meme how many young Cubans complain about my grandparents had *insert ridiculous wealth* that was taken.

Unless they've been doing some prolific breeding, I don't think descendants of plantation owners have enough numbers to write off the hardships of people you would take much more seriously in any other situation.

The summary does not present it as such (ie uses present tense) and I'm pretty sure we've seen numbers from that timeframe plenty.

And they probably are better now. Not by as much as we may want, but a lot of shit happened since then.
