[QUOTE="questor70, post: 1221237, member: 12560"] When you factor in that The Simpsons has ALWAYS had a left-wing agenda (hence it's always been held up as an anomaly in Rupert Murdoch's Fox empire) you begin to realize this is a bellweather for how far the left has shifted towards the extreme for it to single it out for attack. I don't have to outline all the ways The Simpsons skews left, do I? It's generally a rebuke of empty consumer culture and unrestrained Scrooge-like capitalism. What it tended NOT to be about is identity politics, however. But it had its moments, even with Apu. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Much_Apu_About_Nothing]Apu was used as a proxy for Mexicans in this episode suggesting we turn a blind eye to immigration law, for instance.[/url] So really, this is the left eating its own for not being extreme enough.
