        The show just went to another level when they ran out of fucks.

        I need to re watch the episode where mother nature gets gender reassignment surgery and all the flowers die

      I’ve only ever seen the pilot, which was made a few years before the rest of the show and it was just called Kids Show. It became the first episode of the show. I don’t know why I’ve never gotten around to seeing the others. The pilot had me on the floor.

        That is tremendous news my friend, because that means you get to have the gift of watching Wonder Showzen for the first time! You don’t yet realize the blessing before you!

        If you’re 420-friendly, I highly recommending pairing consumption with the show ✌️

            A valid reason, to be sure. But as an added bonus, the satire of kid’s shows will probably hit you even harder due to your closer proximity to kid’s media, whenever you do get around to it ✌️

      “So we’ve tried to occupy wall St, but how about we just burn it down instead?”

      (But actually what would work is burning the rich’s homes down with them inside instead.)

          I disagree with all forms of violence though I will point out that the rich are unnecessarily cruel to the general population.

            I used to think that too but at least historicaly, if the problem is the system itself then there are no ways to solve the problem from within the system. see French revolution. The problems of feudalism couldn’t have been solved by following the law. I am not calling for violence or anything like that. Just pointing out it hasn’t been that simple, just categorically opposing any form of violence, throughout history. If the current system continues on its trajectory, soon there won’t be anything legal left for the masses to do. So not “it should happen” but “it will inevitably happen”, it being violent revolution.

            social democracies are trying to slowly adapt the situation, let’s hope it will be enough.

          There’s a wall already in Wall Street, so just line them against the wall.

          Why overcomplicate?!

      Yeah I find it very funny to hear people talk about eating the rich and all that because honestly, it’s political right that’s closest to a “new French Revolution”, the left is way too peaceful to do anything like it these days… In North America anyway.

        Step One is to help both sides realize that “left” nor “right” are worthwhile distinctions. It’s haves and have-nots. Everything else is distraction to pit us against each other.

          Yeah but when you rebuild you still have to deal with the political opinion of the people who are have nots but still believe in capitalism.

    Ah, Wonder Showzen! This was a great off-the-wall comedy sketch bit from people who were probably huffing paint in the writers’ room. I don’t know if it lasted more than one season and I can’t be bothered to check. It has a real The State or Mr Show vibe in that it was uncomfortably ahead of its time. The State was a lot less uncomfortable. Mr Show was uncomfortable for less offensive reasons. But I’d call them all completely original. (Nothing is original, I know…)

    The whole “revolution” thing is the next big bullshit capitalist’s media are selling to the masses. In history, breaking down any shitty a democracy has always, ALWAYS, paved the way to a even worse tyranny. We have to fix what we got.

          You may need to study history. Revolutions happen in the real world. And they’re not always left-wing (cf the American revolution, which was not motivated by left-wing ideals).

          Some succeed (French revolution), some fail (Paris commune). And history also happens after those revolutions.

          They are truly different things. Revolutions are very real and not the end of history as we know it.

            Also, not all revolutions are violent. Ask the Czechs and Slovaks. As far as I know, they aren’t living under a worse tyranny.

            The meaning of my statement is basically that the online leftists talk about the “revolution” like Christians talk about the rapture. An apocalyptic event that will fix everything that’s wrong with the world and create utopia. In consequence, both groups talk about their chosen apocalyptic event without actually doing anything to improve the world. Of course its not all Christians and leftists, just the bottom of the barrel of the respective groups.

        The shittiest democracy will always be better of tyranny, we need to fight for our rights, not to destroy the ONLY MODEL OF GOVERNMENT IN HISTORY who has even worked in favour of the population (as shitty as it is). Also stop voting “Rich Cunts” as president would help.

            Did you know what is a very easy way to control and exploit large chunks of a population while ensuring that said popolation don’t unite against you? Give them shitty reasons to fight between themselves and be divided while you get fat and rich. Race/ gender/ religions… bla, bla, bla. Meanwhile the 1% fuck up the planet and steal both ours and future generation’s welfare.
