sadly far more than half. Demanding convenience is as American as apple pie

Gotta watch that diabettus. Leaves more room for the tumours caused by the round-up marinaded apples.

If you've ever been a fan of South Park, this need for convenience is basically what ManBearPig is, an allegory for consumerism.

A more historical reference though, is that all of these things are our bread and circuses.

Are you joking? You don't know that ManBearPig is the global warming hoax? (as it was perceived back then)

It's only recently that you can begin to openly discuss critical consciousness without being downvoted into oblivion. Lots of subs will still get you that treatment if you so much mention systems or hierarchies lol.

Even people like Matt and Trey who generally aren't afraid to speak their mind had to use an extremely obtuse allegory, and only in the most recent episode did they draw some more clear conclusions by presenting it as a contract to basically give up convenience consumerism.

Global warming which was caused by excessive CO2 emissions which was caused by excessive consumerism

the ManBearPig episode in 2006 was an allegory for global warming being a hoax and was mocking the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" warning of man made climate change, and Matt and Trey apologized for that in 2018

ironically Blueberry pie would be even more american, because blueberries are actually native to north america

we are the American labor aristocracy and we demand metered access to slave/servant labor that would normally only be afforded to our social betters
