It’s pretty standard “enlightened centrist” from what I’ve seen (where of course “centrist” means centered between the right-wing party and the fascist party in the US).
it focuses on social aspects never seen it touch economics, very American view point which inherently means a right wing economic baseline, it mocks right wing ideology and dogmatism and encourages a more liberal and socially just perspective but never really explored economic aspects
Yeah I’m not judging the show or other viewers. I haven’t seen it since season 9. Probably more of a reflection that i just don’t know a lot of people who watch it.
They’re centrist, which in a country with a right wing and a far right wing party, equates to being right wing. In general they have this smug sense of superiority, shitting on anyone taking a stand for anything. I really can’t stand the show’s attitude, because it’s exactly like that mac from it’s always sunny quote: “I play both sides, that way I always come out on top”, except with this completely undeserved arrogance and smugness on top of it.
I mean… does South Park have bad socioeconomics? Like it’s not something to base your understanding on but I don’t see it as inherently right wing.

How so?

Yeah that’s kind of what I thought as well.
Yes. Matt and Trey are kinda nihilistic in ideology. Enlightened centrists. Everything is dumb. etc.
The only person i know who still watches it has horrifically right wing socioeconomics.
I mean me and my wife still watch it and we’re dirty communists. I just don’t really see them talking about economics much.

Your friend probably just sucks
I never said they were a friend, and yes you’re right about them.
