They know who writes the checks; hence them cucking to the left.
The warning signs were there when they started making the same tired Trump jokes as everyone else in 2015, but I think they just became SNL and Kimmel tier propaganda when Trump got elected.
I stopped watching the new episodes in 2018 and only occasionally watch the pre-2015 seasons, having mostly moved on from the show.
Continuing from your other comment, I also found it interesting how they still tear into "Q" and "conspiracy theorists", but still haven't gone after the WEF, IMF, Open Society Foundation, BLM destroying cities; Biden and his criminal, treasonous Jerry Springer grade family; Kamel-Toe's retardation, the wide open borders and ensuing criminality, or the big pharmaceutical companies.
They would have already made fun of these organizations if they were truly as "anti-establishment" as they've been marketed.
I think South Park is a textbook example of controlled opposition these days.
I've noticed the show has become more and more one sided lately. Combined with the shift to more direct continuity and it's no wonder I dropped the show at the start of Season 23.
South Park went soft on George W. Bush as he invaded Iraq and as he created a surveillance state in the US with the Patriot Act. But South Park went hard against Donald Trump over mean Tweets. That should tell you everything about the "libertarian" beliefs of Matt Stone & Trey Parker, the makers of South Park.
Figured this out when real mavericks like Alex Jones or James Woods kept getting banned, censored, or ejected from events in a supposedly free country but Matt and Trey have mostly kept their multi million dollar partnerships and are still promoted in and by Hollywood.
yeah, most of their iraq-era stuff was the same lazy surface level stuff everyone else did but they got there a little quicker than most so no one noticed. I personally dropped the show in disgust after the 'wikileaks' rat joke, it was pretty clear that they were way past the point of courting controversy in any meaningful way.
Remember when one of the selling points of South Park was that episodes were really cheap and easy to produce so they could make timely references to real life events?
I stopped watching South Park during the pandemic. It's just not funny and if it's not funny, why am I wasting my time with it?
I was disappointed they didn’t go after the Covid nonsense or mock “peaceful protests”

That’s pretty much what I do when I rewatch them. Which isn’t often but when I do it’s older episodes

Exactly. In years past they would’ve gone after them
I like South Park but they have lost something over the past few years.

Yea. The fact that they went after both sides was what made it great
The fact they didn't usually PICK a side is what made it great; could have been either at the same time- usually both.
Correct. That is a better way to say it.

I guess they WERE the establishment.

What do you mean beat-to-death jokes six to nine months late just isn't the same?

Oh, a whole episode dunking on stormfags.
I wonder if they'll do one on TERFs.
