"All satire is blind to the forces liberated by decay. Which is why total decay has absorbed the forces of satire"

- Theodor Adorno

About this Quote

The quote suggests that satire is unable to fully comprehend or critique the devastating and destabilizing results of decay. As decay advances and magnifies, satire is no longer able to effectively attend to or confront the issues at hand. To put it simply, decay has actually become so pervasive and all-encompassing that satire is no longer capable of overturning or challenging it.
