Satire has satisfied the popular need to debunk and ridicule the leading figures in politics, economy, religion and other prominent realms of power. It confronts public discourse, playing as a public opinion counterweight to power (be it political, economic, religious, symbolic, or otherwise), by challenging leaders and authorities. It forces administrations to clarify, amend or establish their policies. Satire's job is to expose problems and contradictions, not solve them.
In the 2020s, it is increasingly under threat of censorship as the supranational deep state aims to tighten its grip over the public mind.
