Why /s? I get that you are exaggerating for humor, but you are hitting the nail. It may not be the main intention of the show, but it does show these things, since it reflects our society. You came up with a pretty solid answer for a question that forced a political framework of analysis onto something that clearly wasn’t about showcasing politics.
Yeah, that’s true: Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob, and his team certainly had some socially critical intent when they created the show and its characters - after all, there are often deliberately exaggerated everyday situations and the like which address social issues in a humorous way.
But also yeah, exactly: I added /s because, while the underlying message is at least somewhat recognizable, I presented it in such a pretentious way. I was just lazing around in bed and thought I’d have a little fun with some kind of pseudo-intellectual silliness.
So /s - mainly so no one here thinks I’m some completely out-of-touch political theorist or something who actually takes this exaggerated view all too seriously :)
