    I don’t think it fails as a satire, I just don’t think satire is an avenue to change. It can be entertaining, but it’s not going to convince anyone of anything they didn’t already know and the people who don’t already know will miss the point.

      100% agree with this. Satire entertains us very much but ends up being absorbed by fascists and becoming part of their propaganda sphere. Even something unambiguous good vs bad can be absorbed such as the Star Wars Empire.

      In the unambiguous good vs bad I think the good it does in warning people of the bad outweighs their absorbing it but not in the case of satire where fascists are portrayed as good.
