That's an honest question. There was a recent F.D. signifier video on edgewood films and if satire works or not.

To save you an hour: While yes, satire is funny and informative for those of us on the left, and they show a great degree of well made art which you should enjoy, those who support what's being satired aren't impacted. Rather they ignore the overall message and cheer on the negative aspects being made fun off. Which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't amp up terrible aspects (violence against marginalized groups, for instance) and thus end up getting people hurt and/or killed.

I don't know that a YouTube video is the best way to determine that. I'd like to see some peer-reviewed evidence.

Agreed, but it's still a good watch. . He has a relevant degree (sociology?) and was a social worker for a while so his perspective is still worthwhile.

Sure would be nice if social science were complete, and we could say with scientific certainty the effect of any given social activity.

Here are a couple published articles that attempt to get at that question, more research required tho.
