re: #139 Jay C

I read some excerpts from Mad Max’s “manifesto”: he seems to have had a SERIOUS obsession with Matt Groening: according to his screed,
The Simpsons is an elaborate ruse to excuse and/or implement some kind of fascistic kleptocracy, by inuring us to societal pathologies under the guise of satirical comedy. Or something….

I’ve heard of this before. The theory goes that because the Simpsons accurately predicted so many things (including Trumps eventual Presidency), that it is actually a subversive tool used by the deep state/NSA/illuminati/Bilderberg group etc. to condition us to what’s coming down the line to better keep us under control.

Nevermind that you didn’t have to be fucking Nostradamus to speculate Trump might run for the Presidency or that a show that has been running for over 30 years just might make a few accurate predictions about the future or that the Simpsons has made plenty of predictions that have NOT come to pass.

It’s just your typical conspiracy bullshit that crumbles like a house of cards upon close scrutiny.
