Ever try to have a rational conversation on the internet? Yeah, me too. And spoiler alert: it’s like screaming into a hurricane while juggling flaming chainsaws. Still, sometimes, you see something so egregiously dumb, so historically tone-deaf, that it lights a fire under your ass and suddenly you're knee-deep in the digital trenches trying to explain—again—why glorifying certain regimes is not exactly... enlightened.
This week's bonus episode of the FWACATA Podcast dives headfirst into the swirling vortex of misinformation, revisionist history, and that peculiar breed of online commentary that thinks life on a dictatorship-run island with state-controlled “free” healthcare is utopia. Why? Because one infographic said so.
Look, I’m not here to win internet arguments. But I am here to throw some intellectual elbows when people start sharing bad takes like they’re free samples at Costco. Especially when those takes ignore the glaring reality of censorship, repression, and political scapegoating—all wrapped in a shiny bow of "but the literacy rate!" Congratulations. You can read all the government-approved propaganda. What a gift.
This episode isn’t just a rant—it’s a reminder. A reminder that no system is perfect, especially when it's run by imperfect people (i.e., everyone). Whether it's capitalism with its billionaires-in-space fetish or communism with its charming knack for disappearing dissenters, the problem isn’t the -ism, it’s the a**holes in charge.
But don't worry, I serve this all up with humor and just enough bite to keep it from being a TED Talk after one too many Cuban coffees.
If you’ve ever wanted to hear someone explain, in hilarious and painfully honest detail, why critical thinking matters more than ever, why scapegoating is the laziest form of argument, and why white folks really need to stop experimenting with communism like it’s a new yoga pose—this one’s for you.
So give it a listen. Laugh, think, get a little uncomfortable. Then maybe, just maybe, don’t retweet that Che Guevara quote without doing your homework.
