- bell-cot 5y ago"A Modest Proposal" is a flag for Juvenalian satire - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal (Though such bizarre and self-destructive behavior is a red flag, and medical testing & psychiatric evaluation are quite reasonable. PragmaticPulp's comment kinda covers that.) Yes, I know the USSR's history. In current-day America...the guy's chances of being forced into a psych. hospital by the government for this seem about as high as his chances of being tried for publicly insulting George III's honor.
