As a surprisingly fast followup to the immediately preceding post, there’s this modest proposal which, once again, I can’t rightly tell if it’s satire or not. There are some strong hints that the author thinks himself a Jonathan Swift, what with the use of the term “modest proposal,” but again we’re living in a time where a whole bunch of people will read this and nod along.

Want true equity? California should force parents to give away their children

The rich should give their children to the poor, and the poor should give their children to the rich. Homeowners might swap children with their homeless neighbors.

And so on.

Arguing *against* satire is that the author repeats the usual tired lies about political conservatives:

Over on the right, Republicans are happy to jettison parents’ rights in pursuit of their greatest passions, like violating migrant rights. Once you’ve gone so far as to take immigrant children from their parents and put them in border concentration camps, it’s a short walk to separating all Americans from their progeny.
