No, it's that saying one place is worse doesn't make it so.

Human development index and quality of life studies put the US ahead of Cuba. Cuba isn't a hellhole that many people make it out to be, but that doesn't automatically make it better than the US.

Cuba has better healthcare and lower cost of living, but Americans aren't on rafts to Cuba.

One of the problems with enacting good and lasting change in the western world is that life is pretty darn good on the whole. It could be a lot better, but just shouting that the US is bad is mindless propagada. Be better than that.

Notice how when confronted with facts the hexbear has no real argument but assumes being obnoxious is the same as making a coherent argument.

Cuban refugees carry a higher level of risk than other countries, and yet they still come. Ignoring facts doesn't make a country better. You wouldn't let a fact like that slide from the US. Hexbears lack intellectual honesty.

Each year around a 100,000 Cubans are willing to risk their lives for a chance to live in the US.

The US is far from perfect, but people don't get on rafts hoping to make it to Cuba.

I haven't used LibreOffice for about 5 years, but my experience 5 years ago was that MSOffice was a better program. PowerPoint's auto design wizard alone has saved me dozens of hours making presentations.

I want libre to as good or better, but it just isn't there.
