    did “hey let’s eat irish babies” do anything over there or is swift’s only legacy being used as a school lesson? they skipped the part where they should’ve told us if it made a difference.

      Honestly have no idea, not one I’m an expert on. Perhaps? I wonder if the efficacy of this style of critique changes depending on society and media literacy rate. Probably? This would also be different historically I assume.

        yeah there are several sibling chains about riding the line of subtlety and i think that’s mostly a literacy issue.

      The name “Vanessa” comes from a poem of his, but I don’t think that’s too relevant to his satire.

        i also forgot about a bunch of stuff from gulliver’s travels, but byte-order conventions are probably not relevant either
