Brass-Eye: The Oppositing Argument

I don't really agree with this thesis that satire is necessarily a conservative. It's just silly to say that any particular form has an inherent meaning anyway, it's going to depend on the wider cultural ensemble into which it's inserted. So all this means we can't generalize about satire or comedy. If the whole point of it is, it's actually going to mean different, slightly different things to different people. That's why it gets an audience. And it becomes something more than just one particular niche group talking to itself.
