Well, at least as explicitly as I've ever seen. This one is a real gem :cool2:

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately it is written in the onion which is know for satirical pieces, though not many people will take it to heart imo since it is just a satire. Nonetheless a good piece.
 
It is Satire. But from what i understand, Satire was feared by the self important ptb because it not only mocks them but usually cuts right to the reality. I also find that - as with the question of the soul - people can be become quite curious if they feel that the 'joke is on them', if they subscribe to the narrative presented. Another effective method at presenting the truth i think.

Is a very good article (and it's a shame that it has not been more developed).
The ending is great and sad.

Yes, I agree. A satire and creative humor against psychopaths with power could make them a lot of damage, because it could demonstrate their superficiality. And superficiality is the only reality that they can "create" and maintain, and ultimately, what they really are. So, good humor can be an support for make that people will stop projecting their essence to psychopaths.
