    Hey remember when they shat on Al Gore for warning people about global climate change?. Then 10 years later when California was literally in flames while rich people played golf, they were like:

    "oops got that one wrong".

    Or remember when they "made fun" of people warning about wallmart becoming too big, with "it's just the natural way of things". Then around 10 years later they suddenly discover that amazon has become too big and have essentially reimplemented slavery with AI.

    "oops again"

    Yeah really awesome show, glad it hasn't done permanent fucking damage to public discourse for years on end.

      What they did to trans people with Mrs. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina is gulag-worthy unforgivable even if they made up for it uh 15 years later with a milquetoast rebuttal and then immediately undoing it by talking about trans women in sports.

        A couple of white 50+ year old multi-millionaires spouting reactionary bullshit and pretending its self evident, funny and edgy.

        God I hate that I watched the show for so many years.

          When moving from one state to another, I binged season 10 and I hate that I did, because it infected my politics for years.

            Still catch myself in one of their bullshit setups at least once or twice a year. Reading and exposure to counter arguments helps to remove the brain rot.
