In episode 12 of the 15th season of South Park titled "1%," we see the town's richest man, Eric Cartman, flaunting his wealth and power. However, his fear of losing his 1% status leads him to take drastic measures to keep the other 99% in check.
Meanwhile, the boys are learning about wealth inequality in school and become inspired to enact change in their community. They start a "99% Club" and lead protests against the town's wealthy elite, including Cartman.
As tensions rise, Cartman tries to maintain his position of power while the boys struggle to make a difference and fight for equality. The episode addresses issues of wealth inequality, class struggle, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power.
Through its usual satirical and outrageous style, South Park showcases the absurdities and hypocrisies of both the 1% and those fighting for change. The episode challenges viewers to think critically about the current state of society and the role of wealth in it.
Overall, "1%" is an insightful and thought-provoking episode that continues South Park's tradition of biting political commentary.
