No I do not care what their centrist moral lesson at the end of the episode is

    What I find funny about the clip is that even in this fantasy the owner of the ice cream shop isn't working or helping Butters through the rush.

    those two dorks have become exactly the kind of people that they would have made fun of 30 years ago

    "BUT SOUTH PARK IS MOSTLY NONPOLITICAL" :so-true:

    "THEY HATE EVERYONE EQUALLY" :so-true:

    So sick of that show and the :brainworms: its carefully sugar coated propaganda put into roughly 2 generations of westerners.

        "MANBEARPIG" very seriously nudged an already apathetic generation into memeing their way out of even considering the consequences of carbon pollution and climate change.

          Even though South Park eventually went back and confirmed that they were wrong, it's agonizing to know the damage has already been done. Plus, I'm pretty sure that sooner or later, these insects will go from "it's not happening" to "I choose treats over my health and your health".

            Even though South Park eventually went back and confirmed that they were wrong, it’s agonizing to know the damage has already been done.

            That "still as a joke, unless" apology episode was so ineffective that I still heard "manbearpig" memes about climate change as recently as this year.

          Guess the International Community was always doomed if it took an edgy cartoon from the 90's to sway their opinion on climate change that easily

            I don't want to go into that again, but I did say "nudged." No one is immune to propaganda and propaganda can affect people without it being 100% consistent and reliable mind control.

          One of the reasons I stopped ever participating on reddit is that apart from a few very niche subs, the top comments on every fucking thread were just all this shit. Someone would make a dumb, anodyne pop culture reference, and then the whole scene that it was from would have to be typed out, line by line, for 500 comments. Every. Single. Thread. It's so fucking exhausting.

    If you wanted people to do more that they are capable of, you should not have created a system where hard work is punished. I cannot do more work, and I need my boss to think I'm mediocre so he won't demand I do free labor for him. I cannot flex anything I do have in my apartment or else my landlord might try to raise rent to squeeze it out of me.

    How the hell is raising rent "because I can lol" or forcing your workers to give more than usual without a pay increase not seen as stealing? I know the answer, but I am surprised at how people are okay with theft as long as it's done while dodging all the right technicalities so something can be legally stolen.

    I can't imagine a business that steals the surplus value of 10 year old's labor pays well, or at all. Cartman was working way too hard.
