people who believe in stuff are the real fools
That’s a really good distillation of their ethos. I’m going to try to remember it.

Stone and Parker are the embodiment of genX politics. That is the cynical mantra that people who believe in stuff are the real fools. And it doesn’t matter if you deny the Holocaust or advocate for green energy, in South Park you’ve committed the same sin.
Sure they make fun of Trump. But they also had an entire season devoted to frat-boy bullies and tyrants who advocated for inclusion, equity, and social justice. Because that’s a social problem in American and Matt & Tray simply have the courage to finally speak truth to power.
Oh, and meanwhile Global Warming is a hysterical myth that Al Gore invented.

They did air two apology episodes in that regard, though.

Even if that was their mantra (which I don’t think it is), it’s absurd to generalise that to all of Gen X, as if all of us have the same politics.

believing in stuff makes you stupid about that stuff.

That’s such a stupid take.
People who are “hostile” over social justice, are hostile against social injustice. Social injustice is violent, in many many ways.
Your take is basically “I don’t like these people, because they are violent against violence to try to fix it”. I’m sure that stagnating in violence is better than to try to fix it, huh.
Tell me that you’re a privileged brat without telling me that you’re a privileged brat.

yeah, please prove my point harder. insulting people is so ‘big and strong’ of you.
you’re a pathetic bully who day-dreams about beating people up. how ‘just’ of you.
Solumbran@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yeah I want to beat up nazis, and if you feel bad for the nazis then guess which side that puts you in.
The point that you’re proving isn’t what you think it is.

Where are you getting these stories about who is getting bullied on college campuses for these reasons?

For what it’s worth, they have officially said they were wrong about Climate Change.
