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!

I had a few episodes in mind to argue were better, but I think the real peak South Park was Scott Tenorman Must Die. It has both the silliest jokes and the most fucked up plotline. It was the top of the "I don't care if you're offended this is too funny not to put out" without seeming like it was just being offensive purely for shock humor.
