Neoliberals on one side, technocratic oligarchs on the other, and Evangelical anti-intellectualism on the flanks. It's an actual fucking conspiracy.

    Oh god I actually forgot about that until you mentioned it. That was so funny watching them twist themselves into knots trying to talk about how reading is actually bad.

      Did they ever actually say that? I mostly remember them saying that Castro was a horrible man who did horrible things, and then they trotted out that dead-eyed gusano-senator from New Jersey to talk about how Castro was horrible and evil and took my candy when I was a baby. From what I remember, they never actually talked about the Cuban educational system, and the entire media-cycle was just various gusanos crying to whatever journalist was near.

        Not literally, just indirectly bad mouthing Cuba's social programs as a vector of criticizing Castro.
