General Discussion

not so much satire. Lately I've had a recurring fantasy conversation with my magat brother (we don't actually talk anymore, it's a de facto estrangement), and I say, "Are all people human?" and it stops him dead in his brainwashed tracks. In my fantasy he takes the question seriously and wonders if he's been approaching this wrongly. He begins to emerge from whatever spell he's been under for the past 30 or so years.

but like the uncle in the OP, he would just glare at me and say, "hmph." Cause that's how he ends any conversation when the facts don't align with his "reality."

So, I'll probably never actually say it to him. But ya never know
