  The very classic four stage program.

  Sir Humphrey Appleby: Then we follow the four-stage strategy.

  Bernard Woolley: What’s that?

  Sir Richard Wharton: Standard Foreign Office response in a time of crisis. In stage one we say nothing is going to happen.

  Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.

  Sir Richard Wharton: In stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there’s nothing we can do.

  Sir Humphrey Appleby: Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it’s too late now.

    You have to add something after spoiler to hide it, e.g.

  from “global warming isn’t real” to “it’s real, but not man-made,” to “it’s all China’s fault and we shouldn’t do anything about it”

  The fucking South Park episode with MAn Bear Pig as a standin is fucking hilarious with this

    That episode is commonly misunderstood. I too had always thought they were lampooning climate change deniers, but Matt and Trey were actually poking fun of Al Gore and An Inconvient Truth as alarmist. They’ve since apologized for the episode, but it’s wild that it’s so often confused for satirizing the very thing it was mocking. For me I just assumed that Matt and Trey wouldn’t be deniers so it never occured to me until I found out their true intention and now it’s pretty cringy to watch that episode since it’s a lot more obvious. Here’s an article about it:

        Oh, I didn’t realize they’d revisited the gag. Thanks for the head’s up.

  Despite all their Gadsden flags they are obedient.

    the ‘dont step on me’ is just a part of their non-con kink.
