It feels like it's been since "I'm a Little Bit Country" that Matt and Trey really pulled a one off on both "sides". So much hate and love from both conservatives and liberals, wherever you look. They absolutely nailed this episode and I hope it opens our eyes to the reality of culture war bullshit.

But the best part of the episode was the labor/tech/billionaire plot. The dumbing down of society, flipant billionaires doing fuck all they want, AI taking over white collar jobs, college education being bullshit, trade work holding more value... It's a sub plot that is not political but the most important satire that they have produced. The Twitter freaks are arguing over "woke" and missing the entire fucking point!

Meh... honestly I think they took the easiest jabs from current reddit trends....

It is easy now to make joke of Disney, Billonaires, Woke culture. I did not see any "break through" on this one.

They used to create the reddit trends (before reddit, when it was forums and shit) but now it seems they're doing exactly what you said

Who dosnt plagarise reddit ?

Half of the news sites out their base their news on Reddit posts.

I completely agree. The entire watch I was thinking, did Matt and Trey just pull everything from what is trending on reddit.. tbh, it seemed a little lazy and didn’t even hold my attention. They tried the multiverse thing wayy too late and I felt exactly how the characters did, oh great, this again. I was pretty disappointed in it tbh, but hoping the next whatever they release is better. I feel Matt and Trey are kinda over it though..

The episode is damage control in the form of aggressive softballing, Cartman is a strawman being put up against the most benevolent interpretation of woke casting possible. Also Miles is a nothing parasitic character
