    @captainvellalives and meanwhile in Germany people are doing comedy about pretty brutal stuff, people who suffered violence and so on, label it as satire and feel intelligent.
    They once heard that Kurt Tucholsky, an ardent leftist, said "What is satire allowed to do? Everything!" and then they stopped thinking. Because reading the entire text (which isn't very long) is beyond them. They just hear those two sentences, think "Oh if I label the awful shit I'm saying as satire I am allowed to do anything" and then they go on.
