Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. The Empire may be gracious enough to...

For sure. The sentiment from the ending of the episode was that it may be the last episode of South Park.

A news article from more than a century ago?

Do we really need to crack open some dusty history books and go over the decline of the Ottoman Empire?

What form of government do you want then? A Democracy? There are a significant number of Muslims in Israel and they can vote. Is your goal to annex the West Bank and Gaza into Israel? Netanyahu would agree with that.

Maybe just change the name of the the country to Palestine instead of Israel? What if the majority of the people wanted the country to still be called Israel? You understand that the population of a single state would still be majority Jewish, right? What if the majority of the people in this new one state Palestine voted to change the name of the country to Israel?

I think it is entirely reasonable to argue that it normalized antisemitism and queer phobia in some ways - it taught a lot of twelve year olds that calling someone a “Jew” or a “fagg~t” was inherently funny.

The whole sentiment of "we need to control what people say so we can control how people think" is the reason why a lot of people dislike the left.

Also I don't think they did the things you're accusing them of. The antisemitism is said by Cartman who is not meant to be a role model, he's a miserable little shit nobody likes. The Jewish kid is portrayed as normal and a good guy. There are two kids that constantly say "huh huh, that's gay" but they are clearly displayed as complete dumbasses.

But now the "control what people are saying" sentiment is coming from the right, and so the PC Principle character who used to bully people with political correctness is the "Power of Christ" Principle and he's bullying people about conforming to Christian values.

Seems South Park is just in opposition to anyone that tries to tell them what they should do. Before it was the left (which didn't work out very well did it?) but now it's the right. Thinking you're going to change how people think by controlling what they see just doesn't work, which I think by now has been proven.

Do you consider all immigration to be "colonization" or is it just when specific ethnicities do it?

Paramount paid them $1.5B for more South Park (both new episodes and for exclusive streaming rights on Paramount+ for all of the older seasons) so if they cancel them it could be very expensive.

Likely whoever is leaking the documents reached out to the WSJ since they'd have more cred in right wing circles. If the WSJ buried it, then the leaker would take it to another newspaper the story would still go out. Only difference would be the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch would be complicit in Trump's cover up.

So it's probably less Murdoch betraying Trump and more not wanting to go down with him. Plus it sells newspapers and Murdoch likes making money more than anything else.

Everyday was a wonderful secret!

I'm more into not collecting coins myself.

The $3 is going to another company so someone will be less likely to be laid off at that company. And if you're boycotting companies that treat employees unfairly, it will mean companies that treat their employees more fairly will be selling more and would be hiring more people. End result is more people working at fair companies and fewer people working at shitty companies. This is a net benefit.

And it's not just $3 it's $3 multiplied by all of the people participating in the boycott.

And yes boycotts actually do work. I'm in Canada and boycotts are kinda our thing here, and we're already seeing a change in products being stocked on shelves now because the products from a certain country are selling so poorly. If boycotts don't work where you live it's because others have bought into the same bullshit that you have. They work if enough people do it, and if you're not doing it, you're part of the reason why it doesn't work.

Here in Canada, the products we're boycotting have been marked down because people wouldn't buy them otherwise. Someone that has less money than I have might need to buy the cheaper products so I'm not going to judge them for that.
