After uproar, 'South Park' pummels Trump again and hits at JD Vance, Kristi Noem - Lemmy.World

“South Park” is back to once again mock President Donald Trump — and this time, Vice President JD Vance, too. The Comedy Central show took aim at the president, as well as Vance and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in its latest episode, “Got A Nut,” which aired on Aug. 6. The episode revolves around school counselor Mr. Mackey being fired from his job and, because he’s desperate for money, joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement. A parody ad for the federal agency mocks its recruitment process, with a jingle declaring, “We don’t ask for experience, just show up!”

Am I the only one just tired of South Park? Cool, they shit on Trump. Like, I don’t know what having him have sex with Satan does.

The dude is funding and facilitating death camps by diverting funds from disaster relief programs.

Our country is two years into directly funding and defending a genocidal state.

I can’t bring myself to care enough to watch what fart and sex jokes the “enlightened centrist” at South Park have to say.

I’m just a bitter humourousless old man now I guess.

See the great part of it, it bruises their tiny little egos
I think it does significantly more for the egos of the people that enjoy “pointing at the problem” but doing nothing about it.
What are you doing about the problem? I’m not a U.S. citizen, so I fold out my chair and make some popcorn.

Glad you asked. I’m a dues paying member of both PSL, SDA, and started working with a “Tech for Palestine” group I just joined after being fired from my job at Microsoft for working with the activist group “No Azure for Apartheid”.

This week I have my first get together with the SRA (socialist rifle association).

Maybe I’m a loser. Maybe I’m just trying to fill a void personally. But I definitely don’t wanna just sit back and watch.

If you’re a non American I would tell you what I’ve warned my comrades in Europe, Canada or otherwise. The US empire doesn’t fall without the rest of the west. You can grab your popcorn. But the interest of American Imperialism are aligned with your capitalist as well.

The working class (you) will be paying the cost of empire as it struggles to maintain itself.

Maybe I’m a loser. Maybe I’m just trying to fill a void personally. But I definitely don’t wanna just sit back and watch.

Don’t think that. I don’t know you, so I can’t pass judgement…but my initial thought is that if you really are active in what you wrote, then you’re doing more to try to elicit change than 99% of your fellow citizens and should be commended for same.

Thanks mate.
