True satire is very welcome, especially considering the sad state of public opinion.


I enjoy satire that strikes my subjective determinants of good satire. But what exactly is true satire? Do you mean satire that actually exposes and criticizes people's stupidity in the context of contemporary politics and culture? Cos if so, this post misses that mark.

I was unaware, before this post, that Medium even had the 'Pulling Pranks' section. This piece, however, strikes as less good than what I'd read in The Onion--and even that is more comedy than satire, most times.
