Satire usually uses sarcasm or hyperbole or some variation, this reads very flat. While it may seem absurd to some, it’s coming off more as just repeating propoganda points rather than actively pointing out irony or hypocritical thinking etc. Just doesn’t have the flare to read as satire. It reads more like the writer holds these views themselves. Perhaps I missed something in tone but that’s my two-cents. Satire can be hit or miss; see Poe’s Law.

If it was meant as satire I think it missed the mark in tone completely.

why? Maybe because some people exist that have these opinions for real?
