Satire’s Immune Response
Cultures develop defenses against satire through: 1) Co-option (absorbing critique) 2) Exhaustion (flooding with nonsense) 3) Recuperation (turning radicals into celebrities). Our “Resistance Index” tracks these globally – democracies develop tolerance while authoritarian regimes grow allergic. The 2024 “TikTok Brain” study showed Gen Z processes satire differently: 63% interpret straight news as potential parody. At Satire.info’s Cultural Immunology Lab, we’re developing “booster shots” – meta-satires preventing institutional immunity.
