South Park has always been fundamentally reactionary; those pushing for change are wrong no matter what change they push for. Nothing is a bigger crime to Matt and Trey than Giving a Shit. Their ideology is apathetic-libertarian; whether you're on the left or the right, if you're asking me to change my behavior, you suck.

As it stands, the political left tends to push for more change than the political right does; as it stands, Matt and Trey admit they dislike conservatives and "really fucking hate" liberals. It isn't about left or right; it's about change versus comfort. If you're trying to change something, they think you're annoying. And they think you're lame, because caring about stuff is lame.

It's the same attitude that establishes "u mad" and "butthurt" as the ultimate trump cards in internet arguments: caring is for losers, and if you become personally invested in politics you're part of the problem. Uncritical, detached acceptance of the status quo is the only morally uprig

BadEmpanada's whole shtick is basically to try to triangulate into positions between MLs and Western radlibs while rarely fully siding with either camp, although he does pretty much take up the tankie position on Cuba and has some decent content for Cuba and some other Latin American topics.

I watched his Xinjiang video and he basically does his usual routine with painstakingly trying to be the enlightened centrist on the issue. Rather than fully endorsing all the Western atrocity propaganda regarding Xinjiang, he comes to the conclusion that wha

4. Use a spoon to break up the softened toast and place it into a snack bowl.
5. Pour syrup onto the toast.
6. Enjoy!!!

This conflict has seriously broken whatever critical thinking skills these people had. These people went so far off the edge that they're denouncing BRICS.

While reading Gabriel Rockhill's exposé on Slavoj Zizek what stood out to me a lot was the brief mention of postmodern philosopher Jacques Derrida being involved in "anti-communist political activism against the government in Czechoslovakia".

While I've always known that Postmodernism is an enemy of Marxism, this makes it sound like postmodern philosophers are also feds. The source Rockhill cites for Derrida's anti-communist praxis is the 1999 book The Velvet Philosophers by Barbara Day. Has anyone read this book? What specifically is said about the topic in it?
