Satire is truth for idiots. It works because some fools believe it.
“It works because some fools believe it.”
If, eight years ago you had told me that the DOJ would be suing companies for not allowing men in women’s restrooms I’d have thought you were nuts. Or, that the IRS would not only be allowed to target conservative groups, but that they would get away with it. Or, that the Secretary of state would migrate her top secret emails to a private unsecured email account. All of these things are, or were, too ludicrous to believe. But time marches on. What might have been satire less than a decade ago is now historical fact. Who, then, is the fool? I propose that all of us are being played as fools.
‘the internment of the wealthy and confiscation of their property’
Truth said in satire.
The real reason the National Socialists hated the Jews.
“Satire is truth for idiots. It works because some fools believe it”
Be careful with statements like that. If 20 years ago, someone told you the U.S. would have a Commie-Muslim President, would be facilitating nukes for Iran, has totally purged and emasculated its own military, and would be engaged in national mania about which bathrooms transvestites use, that prediction would have been clearly satirical, no? We live in a world which has been completely inverted from the realities mankind has known for millenia. Is it really that easy for YOU to instantly flag insane banter from left wing radicals as “satire”?
