They only win where they have control.
I did read it, missed that, but that’s what I was saying. Of course SP has always skewered whatever PC crap is going on. My favorite was the one on NAMBLA. While all the adults are seriously debating the “issue” their “rights” Stan keeps telling them “They want to (bleep) kids!”.
"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know what no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me."An the insightful Ted Cruz pointed at this: "[Democratic debate] reflected a debate between the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks." That is: the Left, the Democrats, the deceptively-named Liberals, are no less than neo-Mensheviks - seeking power via the "inevitable" revolution built upon (i.e.: stealing) the successes of capitalism for no purpose other than acquiring power; one need only wonder if they "have the courage to recognize their own motives ... the object of power is power."George Orwell

“They only win where they have control.”
And having control, they only know how to acquire more of it - as they have spent their time learning how to acquire control, not how to be productive with whatever they have.
Not quite that fast, but close. South Park aired on Wednesdays, and the Elian Gonzales thing happened on the weekend. So it was about four days. Which is still remarkably current for an animation program. They do all their production in-house, unlike many programs that outsource the animation, so their time to produce an episode is days rather than months.
That said, they did slip a bearded Saddam Hussein into one episode, literally the day after he was caught in his spider hole.

It’s not just lumping a few episodes together.
This entire season of South Park is being driven by an overall plot arc of political correctness and it’s ramifications.
There are no individual stand-alone episodes, they all tie into each other and into the common theme and arc. All the episodes need to be looked at as a common whole to understand the message.
Sounds like Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals turned back on the left.
>>Iâm going to watch that episode (I think it was a two-parter?) again...
It was at least two parts. Very “nuanced”.
They did not crumble. Viacom/Comedy Central was the”turd in the punchbowl.”

It’s not one episode, it’s the entire 19th season, or so it would appear so far.
As long as you didn’t just have dinner - take out :-)
Guess I’ll have to watch it.
