I Believe... [Cartman as Greek Prophecy]
...that the struggle sessions that the newest season of the flagship Law & Order are presenting are rough.
...that people weren’t as worried about freedom of speech when they weren’t sharing their thoughts twenty-four hours a day and expecting to be heard. I mean, they were worried in the days of McCarthyism and when Nixon was manipulating the media’s account of Vietnam and when Reagan revoked the Fairness Doctrine. Just not as worried as people are today.
...that South Park turned out to be the funny Cassandra prophesying our fate.
...that those of a liberal bend tend to see the problems of society as Oppressor vs the Oppressed while conservatives tend see the binary of Order vs Chaos. Understanding this and employing it in negotiations or discussions about policy is a fundamental step in finding common ground.
...that in a metaverse where a kid with an iPhone can make millions of dollars filiming TikToks of his gym routine, what exactly is the point of working for a check anymore?
