Quite literally a huge mistake on my part. I was looking for advice on how to attend medical school in Cuba, any age limits for self financed students, what requirements I need grade wise, etc.

Instead, when I clicked on the Reddit link, I got people talking about how people needed to bring their own gauze for surgery, the doctors there are incompetent, and the hospitals lack resources. The lack of resources was blamed on the healthcare system and the country rather than the embargo.

Next time I just need to email CubaHeal because that was so disheartening to read.

For every country, there's a neocon subreddit (generally the biggest one), a more progressive subreddit and a leftist/radical subreddit. I remember Lebanon subreddit was full of zios, while the Lebanese subreddit was more progressive and critical of Israel. Argentina is the same, with r/argentina being a cess pit, while RepublicaArgentina was more progressive. Canada is the same, with canada and canadian being cesspits, onguardforthee more liberal/progressive, and canadaleft more based (still a little bit socdemy for my tastes). Brasil has brasil, as progressive, brasillivre as a reactionary cess pool, and BrasildoB as leftist. So always browse the community a little bit to understand where it is standing.

    English speakers from anywhere outside of the imperial core are generally privileged people. They're the ones that have been able to afford an expensive education that taught them English.

    The vast majority of working class people have got work to do, bills to pay and people to socialize with and they do not argue on reddit in English with CIA funded bot accounts.
