      literally any comedian "predicted" BLM or SJWs or whatever buzzword bothers the chud in the comments. They can't just interact with the funny, it has to be culture war nonsense. They don't just not get satire, they don't understand comedy at all.

    "If MLK Jr was alive today he'd be a conservative, because he thought all people should be equal and CRT means people aren't equal."

      A very common Libertarian argument I've heard against it is that Rapture wasn't a "natural" environment because Ryan built it underwater isolated from everything else, he just needed to do it naturally and not artificially it would all work out!

    Also Fallout and to a certain extent WH40K, although that tends to run on grimdark.

    "Satire" is completely dead and ineffective at this point. Chuds are too fucking brainwashed to understand when they're being called out, and even when they do understand they just flip it around on their opponents. Nothing will get through their heads short of a trip to the wall.

      I get that we're supposed to hate Orwell and it's cool to see someone with clout shit all over him, but this is a horrible review and it makes Asimov look like a clueless nerd. had to get that off my chest

        he doesn't look that bad. He's pointing out orwell hasn't made any interesting predictions and is blatantly wrong in several places, and is solely focused on his personal feud instead of historical trends. Asimov makes some mistakes because he's not a leftist, but a good examination.
