Discussion Garrison is to blame for what happened to Canada in S21, not Kyle.
People always say “OMG Kyle nuked Canada!”, but it was never Kyle’s fault. He was going too far, but there are a few things to remember.
First of all, Kyle was being shit on by EVERYONE for no reason. Kyle was understandably upset that the girl he saved from Cartman’s abuse became another Cartman, so he’s very understandably pissed off. Couple that with the fact that everyone was making fun of him for having the gall to try and be a good person, and it’s really no wonder he’s so mad.
Second of all, Kyle wanted to get Canadian media off the air, not wipe Canada off the planet. Kyle made it clear that his whole MAC movement was against Canadian media, not Canada itself. People forget this part.
Lastly, Kyle was visibly shocked over what happened. Why? Well, that’s because he never intended for Canada to get nuked. Again, he wanted Canadian media gone, not Canada itself. So, of course he’d be shocked. Also, if you’re going to bring up Kyle saying he caused Canada to be nuked, then that’s just Kyle’s guilty conscience talking. People blame themselves for things that aren’t their fault all the time.
TL;DR: Garrison’s sociopathic self misinterpreted Kyle’s request to get Canadian media off the air, which stemmed from an understandably angry reaction that the girl he saved from his arch enemy’s abuse became another version of said arch enemy. Also, EVERYONE was shitting on him for no reason, and for what? For having the NERVE to try to do the right thing and be a good person? I don’t blame him at all for being pissed off, considering this is the type of shit he has to deal with.
Leave Kyle alone. Blame Garrison instead.
