Comment by Yerbouti@lemmy.ml on I can’t believe I’m siding with the South Park guys here

https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/workforce/casa-bonita-workers-demand-return-tipping#:~:text=Shortly before opening%2C Casa Bonita’s,wage of %2430 per hour.

Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.

Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.

Well, here’s a clear-cut and poorly explained opinion. Not much to help move things forward. Anyway, I disagree. Even when I don’t agree with some of the show’s ideas, their ideas are never simplistic and it has the merit of forcing me to think about why and how I disagree, which is already more than 95% of the uncompromising content you find these days.

Theres no explanation to have, its a stupid fucking show that mostly just propaganda for white libertarians

Well, as you seem to hold all the absolute truths, I’ll leave you with your certainties and continue to believe that complex subjects often have complex answers, and that the world is cruelly lacking in intellectual nuance. I also suggest you look up what propaganda really means.

I am very sorry for whatever life circumstances and/or choices have lead to you thinking that south park is a nuanced and intelligent show. In 2023 no less.

It’s a cartoon made for edgy-brained cable TV watchers, most of whom started watching it when they were literal children.

The main message of the show is that those edgy brain dead cable TV watchers are smarter than anybodybwho cares strongly about a topic in wither direction.

N word? People who get really upset and don’t think white people should say it are the same as virulent racists.

Climate change? People who think it’s real might be right but they’re so I sufferable its better to do nothing.

Political correctness? The greatest threat facing our country in the caliber year 2016. If you think people should be politically correct you’re the same as a racist Trump supporter.

You can see why the dumbest people in the world think it’s a smart show, because the show told the dumbest people in the world they’ve actually got it all figured out.

No need to feel sorry for me, nomatter how much you’d like to make me feel stupid, the fact is that my whole life and career have been about telling me that I’m not. I rather think it’s this sub that’s filled with a edgy-brained caricature of little vigilantes hiding behind a keyboard, who’ve probably never achieved anything concrete that would actually be coherent with their speech, but who take refuge behind the idea that they’re intellectually superior.

dawg every comment you make is completely off the rails like what the hell are you doing here lmao

people said south park is a dumb and bad show that promotes bad ideas and you’re seemingly one step away from sending me your CV for some reason

See, this is not argument. This is “GHnuF, YOu SToPID LOL” level.

Dropped shrooms and this guy sounds like im listening to the ramblings of a cocky peasant in some ancient fable who’s about to go strike a wasp’s nest because God told him he’s wise enough not to get hurt or something

You are the people getting mad about a cartoon, not me, lol. I’m pretty sure the vast majority of you have never even met a trans person. South Park makes fun of everyone, it would have been insulting not to make fun of them. Cause you’re definitively no helping. You people are the meanest community I’ve ever seen on the internet. A bunch of white privilege losers who listen to a bunch of white privilege losers talking about how their superior mind could save the world. Bla fucking bla. Et allez vous faire foutre ceux qui critiquent mon anglais, petite bande d’élite linguistique unilingue.

South Park is for juvenile contrarians and baby brained libertarians. There nothing complex about it.

It’s certainly more nuanced and intelligent than the majority of people who reply to me here and seem incapable of any argument other than insults. So far I’ve mostly add positive interaction on Lemmy, this community is fill with people who seem to live beyond their intellectual means.

Give one example of the show actually making a good argument.

I feel like this sub is just privilege wannabes justice warriors, there’s nothing complex about all the point people are making. insults are not a valid argument.

you are defending a show with one of the most transphobic caricatures ever made on a site that is largely queer or queer-positive. i don’t know what you expect man. you have to give examples to prove your point if you want people to engage in detail, but instead you revert directly to calling your critics idiots (in the most reddit-brained passive aggressive humblebragging way possible) for simply stating their contrary opinion.

Lol, I’m trying to discuss, it’s actually all of people who cant accept challenging idea without resorting to insults. You really didn’t get the point of the show on trans people I see. It is in fact a reflection on the way in which majorities often have the possibility of appropriating the reality of minorities to turn it into ridicule. I am very serious, you should consider watching it again.

Calling anybody who points out libertarians are vapid morons “privellaged wannabee justice warriors” could be an entire season of Southpark.

Nobody is surprised the dumbshit libertarian dude thinks Southpark is clever and subversive.

Starting to think the ML in Lemmy.ml stands for machine learning, because there’s no way an adult human writes like this

Sorry for sounding like an AI to you. I actually speak 4 langages, doing my best to translate my thoughts in english because people like you cant understand anything else.

I actually speak 4 languages

Congratulations.

You’re on a Marxist forum with users all over the world, not Reddit.

Being multilingual isn’t fucking special, most of the world is, and most of our users are.

Lol, that was an explanation for why my english might sound off. But anything I would say to an idiot like you would’nt change anything, You are at least as stupid as the right-wingers idiot. ANd you only speak one langage, so come back when you say a few words in any other langage.

If you think the ideas presented in South Park aren’t simplistic then that’s a problem with you and not everyone else
