I have a passport, but aside from some half-remembered Spanish courses from high school, I’m completely monolingual.

Sadly, the US prohibits travel to Cuba for vacations, otherwise I’d gladly put some money into their economy.

    The mainland is also stolen land, there’s no ethical consumption etc etc.

    At least in cuba you’re contributing much needed foreign currency to their socialist economy in contravention of the wishes of the US state (not to say there are no issues with tourism in cuba, but there are some mitigating factors that put it above capitalist, especially settler-colonial states to me). In florida you’re just contributing to the desantis regime and the utter destruction of indigenous lands.

      Absolutely, the US itself is definitely the worst in terms of “being complicit in colonial exploitation”. I don’t know what the “right” answer is though
