Huh, never really considered that.

Do you think the levels of "caricaturization" (my phone doesn't like that one, so I mean turning the "enemy" into caricatures) and satire directly correlate to feelings of fear or loss of control, maybe? Those in power don't seem to use satire much, if at all.

So yeah, I agree that it's probably counterproductive, but it also seems to be a somewhat instinctual response, and therefore it should probably be guarded against in particular. Unless I'm overlooking some hidden benefits that aren't just racist to some extent...
