(cache) Argumate — I mean sure A Modest Proposal and all that, but...

I mean sure A Modest Proposal and all that, but that kind of satire involved the author adopting other people’s beliefs and following the implications to their absurd conclusions in order to get others to disavow them, he didn’t run around accusing random people of wanting to eat babies.

  People satirized during A Modest Proposal didn’t actually literally want to eat babies, so that’s unfair.
