I haven’t watched many recent South Park episodes, but I hope they learned their lesson to maybe not ignore actual scientists next time.

If it had happened like in the 1980s or something it would have been forgiveable but it was like 2006 or something, at that point we all already knew climate change was real.

2000s were peak libertarian for SP. They were against the war on terror so they didn’t code “Bush-right” but they were extremely libertarian. I remember the media trying to push this “millennials are conservative actually” line by inventing the phrase “South-park republican”
Still I remember them landing some good observations. For instance, in one episode the boys learn how veal is made and become animal rights activists. You can tell TP/MS are not animal rights activists, but after the boys steal the cows the media, police, government, etc all instantly start calling the boys “terrorists.” It really caught the whole post-9/11 zeitgeist of “anybody you don’t like is a terrorist.”
