    I’d argue that’s why it’s not good satire. this just goes straight into another conspiracy theory now. satire doesn’t really work when it straight up contributes to what it’s supposed to be satirizing.

    that’s like satirizing the US culture by shooting up a school.

        I’m sorry if that felt too harsh about US culture. i take it back. I should have said it’s like satirizing the US education system by shooting up a school.

        He’s literally making his point… And he’s entirely right. Do you understand the concept of hyperbole?
