Comment on South Park creators rename show 'South America'

Comments

It would have been fascinating to watch the love-hate battle if Trump had renamed Lake Ontario to Lake Dolly.

He's incapable of empathy, his only other option would be Lake Trump. He is quite literally the American Nero.

I'm reading Iain McGhilchrist's The Master and his Emissary. There's a bit about right brain damage correlating (fact?) to lacking empathy.

    Patients with right frontal deficits, but not left frontal deficits, suffer a change of personality whereby they become incapable of empathy.

Nero was just a poor boy who wanted to play the fiddle. Are you sure Caligula isn't a better comparison? He's the one who constantly tried to own the ̶l̶i̶b̶s̶ senate. That's what the whole deal with the horse was about.

I think historians might have something to say about Nero just playing the fiddle. I mean, he literally ordered the murder of his own mother.

Perhaps try reading more history about Nero.
