This is for tee hee, not treason: please don't ruin my life.
Ihr kennt ja alle die Extremismustheorie, also dieses von Jesse und Backes entwickelte Dreiecksmodell, das alle Behörden und die Politik immer wiederholen und was uns ja auch vor allem schlechten bewahrt hat ;)
Ich habe die #Extremismustheorie dem 'Zeitgeist' entsprechend weiterntwickelt ;)
Und natürlich hatte Brecht recht: 'Erst kommt das Fressen und dann die Moral'
#trump is just posting videos of #warcrimes on his truth social page now.
He posted some drone footage showing a group of people in a circle, calling them #houthis planning an attack - in a very sarcastic and cruel tone I may add - that then got blown up, killing about 20-30 people.
Turns out it was actually a Yemini religious gathering: those people were innocent.
Our president ACTUALLY DID THAT.
We don't need #satire anymore guys. Our president is a comic book villain.

I've finished: The Simoqin Prophecies by Samit Basu
Self-aware and breaking the fourth wall, The Simoqin Prophecies makes fun of classic tropes from myth, fairy tale and fantasy. But it is not trying to be funny, it is deadly serious about its own high fantasy world.
While it is not perfect in all it's choices, as an experienced fantasy reader I enjoyed the references to classic tropes and their deconstruction. Satire can be better when it's not trying too hard to make you laugh.

I'm glad I found it through a Story Graph reading challenge prompt. Sometimes you find a book that was written for you 20 years after it was published and wonder where it's been all these years.
I love reading challenges with prompts that specify a type of book and let you choose the book you'll read for that prompt. You can also use these prompts to find novels other members think fit a prompt you like. I found The Simoqin Prophecies in the Speculative fiction genres challenge, under the prompt for Comic Speculative Fiction.

Heute gibt's ein weiteres Out of Context - Textfragment aus #Dansecorone.
"Während er sich also in dieser Art synaptischen Aufzugspalt positionierte, beäugte er den obskuren Fund, denn vor ihm saß eine dürre marionettenartige Puppe auf einem Dreirad."
Um was für eine obskure Puppe es sich handelt könnt ihr in meiner satirischen Novelle "Danse corone" eruieren.
A satirical masterpiece from 1868, this lithograph by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans critiques political leaders through the whimsical act of tree felling. What does this say about the relationship between nature and governance?
