1 This young fellow has the potential to make significant contributions as he grows older. I hope and pray growing much older is in the cards for him.

2 What I find fascinating is that the behavior of the cuban commies is exactly what we would expect but the readers of Nick are bewildered by it.

The kids have so many warning about communism and socialism, but they still cannot fathom communists acting like communists. It seems residual from our suicidal empathy, otherwise I cannot explain it, other than kids are dumb.

3 Gad Saad - Suicidal empathy - The Wiki articles displays all the bias you have come to expect when anything upsets the left: "The term, coined by Canadian marketing professor Gad Saad in a book of the same name, is commonly used by right-wing commentators and Christian nationalist figures to criticize empathy toward groups such as immigrants and racial minorities. In this context, it is sometimes linked to the Great Replacement conspiracy theory. The Wall Street Journal linked Saad to Elon Musk, claiming the two had a 'public bromance'.[1][2] Musk's usage of the term popularized it.[3] It has been referred to as a "right-wing buzzword" by The Bulwark.[4]

According to Saad, suicidal empathy is the inability to implement optimal decisions when one is psychologically conditioned to prioritize empathy or displays of empathy over a rational course of action.[5] He states that suicidal empathy prioritizes minority groups such as illegal immigrants at the expense of survival and security of one's own groups and values.[6]"

4 There are plenty of examples of the failure of Communism over the years. What surprises me is that so many young people fall for this destructive crap. Their behavior gets more and more destructive and dangerous. Cuba is an abject failure.
