This. I used to love the show. But around 2004 it started attacking Al Gore and Hybrid drivers for baseless reasons and by 2008 it was utterly unwatchable. Now it’s a cringe-worthy parody of the original show that just serves as a platform to shill for Libertarianism.

It was during the 2012 presidential election campaigns that I suddenly came upon the horrifying realization that all of the young people in my extended family and their friends were basing their entire political belief systems and worldviews on a vulgar, albeit often hilarious, cartoon. I think I tried once to explain…

That may sound like ‘the Middle’ to you, but it is nothing like Rand Paul’s platform. If you wanted to make it into Rand Paul’s platform, you would have to add bigotry and racism, a deeply held contempt for women’s issues and rights, subtract the ‘free market’ (of which there isnt any and ‘Austrian Economics’ is a…

I was so happy to see that too. I haven’t enjoyed the show since high school, and I certainly notice a correlation between which of my friends claim to be libertarians and friends that continue to enjoy South Park.

Probably easier to say that there is a type of politics that is identifiably derived primarily from being a fan of South Park rather than, y’know. Political engagement. I’m a fan, they’re still really funny people, but hoo boy does Trey Parker’s personal agenda shine through all his work bright and clear: “Making Trey…

Can you elaborate on what exactly is “South Park” politics? If I’m a fan of South Park, do people assume I vote a certain way?

South Park politics is roughly an ethos that says “both parties are equally childish and bad; I am smarter than the fools who vote heavily for one party because I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle.”

Libertarianism is a paper ideology. It looks convincing as a dry equation, but completely falls apart when subjected to real-world, human conditions. Surprise, surprise, trying to apply overly simplistic economic principles to every sphere of human society and governance is not an effective way for the world to…

South Park can be fine in doses, but as a former fan (like most people back in my high school days, when the show first started airing, I thought it was this amazing, transgressive thing), I got really, really turned off at how so much of the point came to be to emptily poke at any sort of genuine, real-world social…

Because they redistribute the hair (“wealth”) uniformly?

And let us marvel again at how precisely Andrew Sullivan, the man who spent thirty years slowly figuring out that modern American Republicans aren’t British Tories from his childhood, measured the pulse of our society.

He [Donald Trump] gets South Park—its cheap spite, its self-congratulation, the fantasy that privileged scorn for political correctness is subversive, rather than the exact opposite—better than the Pauls ever did...

God, thank you for drawing this link between the Pauls, “libertarianism,” and what I’ve always thought I was the only person to refer to as “South Park politics.”

And to think that this is merely the first of two interviews the Cowboys require before signing a player.

Time for this asshole to go to jail.
