Hindsight and all that; there are always[sic] people who blame [prior person] for [current problem] all the time (insert blanket statement here)

- antonvs 7d agoThe whole point is it wasn't "hindsight". They took obviously wrong, easily refuted positions on some very important issues, like climate change and political choice, and abused their platform to promote that nonsense. Impressionable baby techbros here on HN still quote them on that stuff, so the consequences of their multiple fuckups haven't finished playing out yet. "Hindsight" would be recognizing "oh shit, I'm a fucking idiot and I didn't realize it." But they haven't actually reached that level of hindsight yet. Essentially, Matt Stone and Trey Parker are enthusiastic heralds of the idiocracy.
- mc32 7d agoWell, when people get their news from entertainers, that’s when things are wrong. One should not be informed on important topics by people who have little understanding of things but have a lot of feelings about things in the world. If you give entertainers that much credibility then you get good along with bad.
