I can’t believe I’m siding with the South Park guys here
(hexbear.net)
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.
You dont have to agree with everything they do, but Southpark is the only show that are not afraid to discuss certains subjects. Dead Children should be mandatory to watch for every us citizens.
EDIT: In view of the many responses to this post, i'd like to add that if you really think south park is a right-wing show, you're showing your interchangeability. By that I mean that I firmly believe that people who are incapable of discussion and questioning their ideas are similar, no matter what side they're on. I'm convinced that if you'd been born in Texas into a conservative family, you'd be parading around in a pickup truck against drag queens in schools right now. It's simply a question of life context that makes you here now.
Its a really fucking stupid show most of the time though
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.
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.
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.
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.
Youre a right winger if you like any american president
