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.

      “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.
