Team America WP is like fight club or Starship Troopers, except it's progressives who tend to miss the message completely.
Sure, the first 5 min lampoons arrogant, ignorant, and destructive military adventurism. But everybody forgets that the movie resolves when this same adventurism saves the world from irrational evil enabled by weak Western leftists.
The overt message of the movie is both extremes are bad and at the end of the day we have to accept that the status-quo is what keeps us safe. Team America Enlightened Centrism more like it.
This confused me at the time, that people thought it was somehow taking a stance against imperialism.
Do people just stop thinking critically after they decide they agree with something?
If it was made by anyone but Matt Stone and Trey Parker, I think you could argue that this where the whole thing being a puppet show comes in, but the ending message tracks with literally everything else they've ever made.
Narrator: Yes.
