what they don't realize is that they are liberals and what they think is liberalism is actually a type of right-wing populism pushed historically by the progressive party, often as a front for christian groups. liberals are all about free speech, free markets and individual rights. crucially, they're strongly in favour of a separation of church and state.
what these idiots have succeeded in is little more than to confuse people about words and concepts that they don't actually have a good understanding of. if you watch the show, you're left to conclude that liberals are a type of fundamentalist christian.
rather, a liberal is exactly what stone and parker are, and their target of ridicule is religiosity - bordering on what engels called utopian socialism.

kinda feelin' bad about the centipede.
hey, i never tried to capture the thing. well, the whole symbiosis revolved around it's freedom.
i saw a baby one the other day....
the thing is that if i knew it was in there, i would have helped it out. how long was it in there?
a morbid, ridiculous thing to obsess over. i need to go find some steel wool...

i think it's a little silly to suggest that they're copying the microphones when they're obviously emulating radiohead.

i used to hate thursday, but this disc is one of the best pure pop records i've heard in a while. this is really the only thursday record worth listening to.

what are u kidding me ? there sound is differnt in everey recording/album...they are one of the most underated bands and they were ahead of there time back in ealy 00's.

i think it's more accurate to suggest that thursday were mostly stuck in the 80s. they tended to wear their influences fairly loudly; i think that a big factor underlying their overratedness is that people aren't really familiar with those influences. even that's not really catastrophic, but what they tended to do was essentially to barf all over cure songs. it's not a stretch to suggest that it's like listening to really bad karoake.
the theme that comes out in their work is that the vocals become less and less annoying. it's only here, finally, that they're able to get out of that scene. but, it seems like the band wasn't meant to actually get out of that scene.
i wouldn't expect much from the band members in the future. they at no point demonstrated much of any creative potential. but, they seem to have focused enough on trying to sound like radiohead on this disc that they fluked out on a better than average pop disc.

Pop? Did she say pop?

this is very pure pop/rock music, with essentially no hint of abstraction beyond it. i'm sorry if you grew up in a period where pop is so terrible that you can't recognize that, but it is what it is - and it is pop.

maybe all this information collecting may actually tell you things about yourself you don't realize. youtube was initially trying to market me channels based on my gender, but as it built up more information it started marketing emo (the really bad, redundantly hair metal, major label stuff) to me - which is completely wrong, but at least somewhat rational based on the evidence it has. now, it's marketing me new country music, which i'm not understanding. my best guess is that it's algorithm considers grunge to be a type of roots music, which may have some value to it as an observation but doesn't apply to me at all. i've always interacted with grunge as though it's an offshoot of hardcore, itself an offshoot of punk. to extrapolate watching "do the evolution" as "i must like new country music, because it's the same band that did better man, which is sort of almost a country song" is more than a little bit off base.
but, it constructs a question: is the computer just clueless, or is it reflecting a general perception? and is that general perception less wrong when applied to other individuals? if the computer enforces it enough, will it become reality?
i'm sure it'll change again. for now, it thinks i'm a natural blake shelton fan.
