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!
yeah it was in the background but the focus was on kids doing ridiculous shit. now the focus is just on the issues first and then use the kids to get their point across. Honestly, they’re clearly still capable of writing great stuff, but the praise for this special is way overblown, it just confirmed how most Redditors already think.
This was the exact complaint I had about the show and got downvoted for it here before the new special dropped. I thought Panderverse was hilarious though, I’m not complaining for now
