    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.

      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

        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.

      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.
