Critical Wade Theory

I"ll talk about everything from politics to entertainment and philosophy. I"m also a part-time entertainment writer and working-class from the UP of Michigan, so that might come up occasionally. Oh, and I make weird experimental music and sometimes host a college radio show.

I have a cold (or something), so this episode will probably come across as "low energy" (and I am not the most energetic person to begin with, so...)Anyway, I discuss Trump's lame "Noard of Peace" and how it's mostly catering to authoritarian leaders. I also focus on Egypt's politics, as an example of a country with plenty of problems.

2026/02/18

Trump has repeatedly used dehumanizing language like “vermin,” “animals,” and “poisoning the blood of our country” when speaking broadly about immigrants and “illegal aliens,” not just MS-13 or convicted criminals. Supporters often retroactively narrow his words to “only the worst criminals,” but that’s not how he consistently uses the language, nor how his audiences understand it.

2026/02/17

This is a story about “Global Britain,” about “terrorism,” about law and order. But it’s also about memory. About denial. And about what happens when a nation built on empire tries to forget how it was built.

2026/02/11

This time, I respond to a critique ostensibly from my left. Admittedly, it was refreshing to face a purportedly left-leaning critique. Still, does the person have a valid point? Is Obamacare "extremely closer to Fascism than you allow yourself to think."? Do I "need to ditch the milquetoast Bourgeois liberal (faux) progressivism, and dive neck deep into Marxism-Leninism"? Well, listen and hear my thoughts on these arguments.

I largely debunk this right-wing argument: "History and economics teacher here. Economically speaking, Obamacare is the closest thing in this country we have to fascism. Let me explain. Communism is when the government takes over the means of production. Fascism is when there can be private ownership of business, but those businesses are told what to produce and what the product will be..."As I explain, it's not so easy to debunk claims of things being "communist" or

Recently I did an episode called "More Right-Wing Memes = Fake Quotes, Fake Rebels"In that episode, I looked at a fake Obama quote, the real history behind deportations and war powers, and why outrage is applied selectively. Then I took apart the Republican claim of being “anti-tax,” showing how tax policy under Trump and the GOP actually protects wealth, expands patronage, and shifts the burden onto working people.
