    Satire should be staunchly defended. Some people may find it offensive and they can go fuck themselves.

    Satirical publications are often the last free press able to publish in authoritarian governments and have often played a critical role in communication to weaken oppressive regimes.

    We can all occasionally suffer jokes in bad taste in exchange for freedom of the press.

      if it was far-right satire i would feel pretty shit about it but it should probably still be allowed (?)

      While I agree with Satire should be staunchly defended, I can’t see a way for that to happen when you hit a nerve with a greathammer repeatedly.

      So as a society we can show our full stance besides satire, but showing a stance, even with millions of people, could stop them getting killed by a two radicals? It appears not.

      So what should we do, put State Police in front of their door? I think police standing in front of every satire outlet would be a satire itself.
