        He literally countered a baseless claim, which would have the burden of proof and could have been dismissed, and you still want more?

          The article is the classic example of concern-trolling.

          Instead of showing statistics or actual data, it talks about this “economic crisis” of Cuba, it interviews a particular person to make people feel pity, shows a few pictures of people selling produce on the streets (normal in Cuba since the 1990s’ periodo especial)… The writers don’t know about Cuba, and don’t care about Cubans. It’s just a wannabe hit-piece to create concerns in the West about the conditions of Cubans. That’s why I’m dismissing it. The claim “there’s hunger in Cuba” requires statistical evidence supporting it.

            Perfect, so why not say this directly? And why not provide evidence for the other side?

            Only focusing on what we do not believe is a big part of how we got to the shitty situation we are in today. Such a bias really hurts us and we must constantly remind ourselves that the other side is just like us.
