    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

            There was the Margaritaville episode. I think that said… something… about capitalism and economics.

            But I think the political commentary got a lot less pointed around the time hindsight kicked in on the climate change episodes. Kinda felt like the recurring theme was “everyone is an idiot, even us.” Giant Douche v. Turd Sandwich felt a bit enlightened centristy.

        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.

          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.

      Yes. Matt and Trey are kinda nihilistic in ideology. Enlightened centrists. Everything is dumb. etc.
