Seriously abridged version of this alongside the clown makeup removal meme  In 2008, Jillette stated that there is not enough information to make an informed decision on global warming, that his gut told him it was not real, but his mind said that he cannot prove it.[48] As of 2014, he has changed his position and now believes that climate change is occurring.[49]  He stated in 2008 that he "always" votes Libertarian,[47] and endorsed Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson for president in 2012[50][51][52] and 2016.[53] However, he participated in vote swapping in 2016 by voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the swing state of Nevada, in exchange for "10 or 11" of his friends promising to vote for Johnson in blue states like California and New York.[54]  In 2020, Jillette distanced himself from aspects of libertarianism, particularly surrounding COVID-19. In an interview with Big Think, he stated, "[A] lot of the illusions that I held dear, rugged individualism, individual freedoms, are coming back to bite us in the ass." He went on to elaborate, "[I]t seems like getting rid of the gatekeepers gave us Trump as president, and in the same breath, in the same wind, gave us not wearing masks, and maybe gave us a huge unpleasant amount of overt racism."[55]

That's not what that episode is about...

At the end of it the boys make their own agreement with ManBearPig and refused to act against climate change in exchange for RDR2 and something else I can't remember

The episode was commentary on how we're still making the same mistake and not addressing the shit we need to because it would cause minor inconveniences.

Like, you just completely missed the plot...

    Did you miss the part where all the characters realized Al Gore was not lying about ManBearPig?

    AND THEN decided that RDR2 was worth passing the buck to the next generation... just like the generation before them had done?

    At the end of the day it's a comedy show. You wanted a montage of them making the word better?

    I prefer we all get back to the pile
