When it's this poorly executed, yes it needs to be said. I was going back and forth on whether it was for far longer than I should have been.

- JumpCrisscross 3mo ago> When it's this poorly executed, yes it needs to be said Isn't that a mark of great satire? That the argument sort of works within the zeitgeist, thereby showing the zeitgeist to be corrupted. Over-the-top satire is funny. But it's clumsy. The fact that some people who are being satirised will agree with the satire is what makes it great.
- ghusto 3mo agoYes, but it's a thin line, and I contend that this is over that line. If you satarise Nazis and some Nazis can't tell that you're making fun of them, that's good satire. If you write a peice that reads like any other peice of Nazi literature, that's not understanding what satire is.
