Interestingly, I haven’t at all picked up the undertone of resentful anger from the resort staff here that I’ve felt on occasion in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica... Also, none of the forced obsequious grovelling seen in the other places either; maybe a connection there...

...I mean, you go to change money at reception & the two girls staffing the desk will happily attend to you...AFTER they finish their conversational point. I’m not in a rush, & rather approve... Rather have this than the “I would kill you, turista maricon, but I need money” vibe.

...I usually don’t watch CNN at home, and now I see my instinct was sound: watched in amazement an utterly puerile panel on Anderson Cooper gibbering hysterically about “President Trump Not Denouncing Roseanne’s Racist Tweet”. You people _deserve_ Trump, honest to Christ.

Cuban tv: b & w Cuban Revolution documentaries, Russia Today En Español, CNN & MTV to demonstrate Yanqui degeneracy & decadence, CGTN Chinese state tv in English. Last had an interview show about China overtaking North America in global power hegemony. “The world is changing.”

Watching CGTN is instructive about patriotic propaganda. The Chinese make no bones about being proud of their progress, their country’s standing globally, and keeping their eye on the ball looking to the future. The Cold War isn’t over; Leninism 2.0 seems to have real legs
