Your defense of the show is kind of sad. Pop culture functions at its subliminal best when it flashes ideas before you that you aren’t consciously attending to, often through the use of humor and “throwaway” jokes. It also does better when the “conclusion” or “moral of the story” is out of sync with the far more relatable “jokes.” The Simpsons has long functioned on memetic communication above narrative. Bart is a “delinquent,” but he was “cool.” Lisa is “preachy” but she isn’t “wrong.” Homer is a “moron” but he makes the most “salient” points. A key role of Shakespeare’s King Lear is the Fool. Similarly, Groening and his staff of jews, pedos, and Ivy League elitists recognized the power of The Fool, which is why they couched their primary ideology and philosophical discourse in the “throwaway” belly laughs rather than linear stories. The stories themselves are often basic and straightforward, innocuous, even. It’s the portrayal of the “targets,” the snide “truisms” that everybody just accepts, that are the real manipulative content. Wait, aren’t you the dipshit who posted your real info and doxxed yourself to the “Royal Cuck Mount-me Please?”
