  • DISINFO WATCH E04: If I Was A Dictator

    In our latest episode of Disinfo Watch, Rasheed, Eli and Doug engage in a provocative discussion about the concept of dictatorship, exploring various ideas on how to address social issues such as racism and the mistreatment of refugees. We take a humorous yet dark turn as we propose some outrageous solutions, including a reality show for rehabilitating racists and a controversial method of instilling empathy through chemical means.
