God I wish that Yankee political discourse went beyond the most superficial "there's a resemblance between thing a and thing b" because there's a lot of rich material that someone more sympathetic to media analysis could mine here with the George Liquor character in regards to nationalism, militarism, abuse and violence, supremacist hierarchies and shit.

[CW: Violence, abuse, animal abuse etc. - this is vintage Ren & Stimpy so it's gonna be full of edge]

You could easily make a leftist video essay on this, if only it was the 2010s [11:04] but honestly I'm kinda glad the discourse has developed beyond The Class Analysis of the Cars Universe type shit.

According to the show’s creator, that character/episode was the reason Nickelodeon took the show away from him.

I mean, that was the same era as Dan Schneider for Nickelodeon so that sounds completely on-brand for them.

John K., who made Ren and Stimpy, was/ is a known diddler.
