I’ve just found this article about Futurama on The Independent, a UK newspaper. It comments on the changes in Futurama reflecting the changes in society in general.

        This overly patriotic “freedom of speech”, “earth is the free-est planet ever” and “I’m conservative but I will fight tooth and nail for his freedom of speech” is definitely not how american conservatives today are. They are more about banning books, over-regulating everything including your genitals and “lol seethe and cope librul”.

          “I’m conservative but I will fight tooth and nail for his freedom of speech” is definitely not how american conservatives today are.

          That’s the same today.

          They say ‘I’m conservative BUT I respect free speech.’

          Not ‘I’m conservative SO I respect free speech.’

          It still works as a contrast to authoritarian regimes like Russia clamping down on dissent, and would require minimal rework if any.
