The New York Times calls the word "Freedom" an "anti-government slogan"

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Not true. As far as using out on context quote to disseminate a false narrative, this one is probably the dumbest. As soon as I read the story I had no doubt the Cuban were protesting against their government. Furthermore I nor any rational Americans I know, would think the Times was saying the use of "Freedom" in a protest would ever be an Anti-American Government Chant unless it was over masks and pandemic related lock down by the neo-fascist goon squad.

No one has any doubts that Cubans were protesting their gulag infested fascist nation, which the left,
including the NY Times and Barry Obama, consistently has tried to paint a charming smiley face over the grim
life and death struggle that caused so many to risk their lives making a very risky trip to the US
by rafts and whatever across open sea.

That you freely admit the NY Times openly and pejoratively labels some calls for freedom as fascist or Putin aligned, should illustrate even to someone like you where the problem lies.

Maybe someone with the history and record of the Times should be more careful with what they
write, all things considered.

Freedom to have an abortion in every state of the USA?

Freedom to have an insurrection at the capital?

Say hi to your prime minister for me!

Liberals think that anybody that opposes Communism or Socialism is a "Fascist".

Yea, they are that confused.

The NY Times is right.....Government IS the opposite of FREEDOM

In context yelling "freedom" at an authoritarian government is indeed antigovernment and the Cubans yelling it are in the right. But leave it to you weirdos to make up some weird bullshit angle on it.

The NY Times is a propaganda piece of the left. Freedom is a dirty word to leftist that openly support the leftist, oppressive tyrants in Cuba.

As long as Americans are being convinced by their wealthy masters that they have 'freedom' and America is the most free democracy in the world, they don't question that they've lost all the freedoms the other democracies actually have.

The list is a long one and can start with their rotten health care system. Or their lack of freedom to be safe and have their children safe from gun violence.

Canada ranked #1 country in the world for Quality of Life | News

For the fifth year in a row, Canada is ranked the #1 country in the world in 2020 for Quality of Life, according to a global ranking from US News.

Here's the list from that link that the truly free countries take for granted as their rights.

• A good job market
• Affordability
• Economic stability
• Family friendly
• Income equality
• Politically stable
• Safety
• Well-developed public health system
• Well-developed public education system

That's what freedom really is all about, not just a word used to uphold working class Americans' illusions.

I agree with most of your list...I disagree that freedom somehow is connected to income equality, or a well developed public education or health system. Freedom means the ability to choose what healthcare you want, or where your child gets educated, not having the choice, and limiting it to the Govt provided sources is not free. Also, income equality isn't anything related to freedom at all....freedom and equal outcomes are not the same at all. Freedom is having the ability to make as much wealth as you can. Freedom is the opportunity, not the results

Good point on health care and the ability to choose your health care being freedom.

And the point is that Americans don't have the ability to choose, they're forced to accept the US system of health care for big profit of insurance companies.

We Canadians actually do have the freedom to choose our government run universal HC system or private insurance in it's place. Obviously very few choose the private insurance.

So in fact, you walked right into the fact that Americans lack freedom on HC choice.

On income inequality? What can indicate a lack of freedom more than the inability to live a high quality of life.

Freedom is having the ability to make as much wealth as you can.

Yes, of course all we who subscribe to capitalism would agree. And America grants that ability to the wealthy class to make unlimited billions upon billions.

But what about the masses in America? Do they have the ability to make a decent living. Has government even brought them a decent minimum wage?

Are you able to have abortions in the states of the USA. answer: NO

Are you allowed to have an insurrection in the capital of the US. answer: YES if you are a tramper.

Well, that's kinda true. Who is responsible for taking away freedom throughout history? So, yes. Yelling "freedom" is usually anti-government.

LOL. Except that's not what the first line of the tweet says. "Shouting "Freedom" and other anti-government slogans". But nice try at transference.
Oh my, you alt-righters are simpletons. I truly wonder sometime if you people should be allowed to vote.

Your last sentence proves you're a commie.

Removing your right to vote would be fascist. Not commie.
I wonder if people like you posses the intelligence to be entrusted with that sacred privilege.

Commie
