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!

Idk about peak, I found myself agreeing more than laughing and I'd prefer to have the opposite or at least 50/50. Just didn't find it that funny IMO.

Somebody said if you find yourself clapping more than you laugh at a comedy show you're at a rally. Or something like that.

South Park is first and foremost a comedy show with its focus being political satire
