Satirism

Political Satirism or just Satirism in the context of Polcompball is a ball representing a broad set of political personalities and/or parties that run on a campaign of joke policies.

History
Political satire has existed pretty much since politics itself existed, although the first actually known instances of political satire were in ancient Greece.

The first case in which a candidate ran for office with the sheer intent of satirizing politics isn't really known, but it could be said to be the story of the time when Emperor Caligula of the Roman Empire nominated his favorite Horse Incitatus for Consul, which could be interpreted as a joke on how the Roman Consuls were useless. Although it could be just his being a loony or not have happened at all.

In medieval times political satirism often took place during "All Fools Day." Various festivals were held by local groups in cities. They were often allowed to criticize royalty and other government officials on such days due to the humorous nature of their criticism. It was one of the few political expressions allowed during the periods of Feudalism. Though often they would still be persecuted if local officials felt they went too far. Often they'd make false decrees, pretend to be local nobles, or put on performances of recent political events from a satiric point of view.

In the ages then, many notable works of political satire have been produced. Including some of the works of William Shakespeare and works like "A Modest Proposal" and "The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and  Montesquieu".

Satirism later took hold in the 20th century, with one of the earliest organised satirist parties being the "The Party of Moderate Progress Within the Bounds of the Law" in Austro-Hungarian Czechoslovakia by Jaroslav Hašek, founded in 1911. Which promised that if they get elected to the Imperial Council of Austria would introduce policies such as the "nationalisation of janitors", "reintroduction of slavery" and "mandatory alcoholism".

Satirist candidates later became more popular with the introduction of television and similar media.

Leaders of the Church of the Subgenius, a parody religion, issue 5 specific instructions to their followers.


 * 1) Shun employment and stop working.
 * 2) Purchase products sold by the church, which is said to have been founded by Dobbs to "gain wealth". This has been seen as a parody of the "greed is good" mentality.
 * 3) Rebel against "law and order".
 * 4) Rid the world of non-subgenii.
 * 5) Exploit the fear of conspiracy members.

Robert Latham calls their ideology "anarcho-libertarianism". The UK Free Party, founded to promote the free party scene, stood candidates for the three Parliamentary seats within the city of Brighton and Hove, under names associated with the church.

The invention and popularization of the internet in the 21st century have allowed political satirism to become more popular, allowing it to be accessed by pretty much everyone. Notable examples of satirism being adopted into new philosophies include the ideology of Anti-Centrism.

The german political satire party "Die PARTEI" gained 1 seat in the European parliament after the 2014 election, it gained 1 more (making it 2) after the 2019 election. The party is currently also represented in the german national parliament due to an MP of the SPD changing political parties in 2020.

He is best known for hosting the satirical Comedy Central program The Colbert Report from 2005 to 2014 and the CBS talk program The Late Show with Stephen Colbert beginning in September 2015.

Colbert's work as a correspondent on Comedy Central's news-parody series The Daily Show gained him wide recognition. In 2005, he left The Daily Show to host The Colbert Report. Following The Daily Show's news-parody concept, The Colbert Report was a parody of personality-driven political opinion shows including The O'Reilly Factor, in which he portrayed a caricatured version of conservative political pundits, earning Colbert an invitation to perform as featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in 2006, which he did in character. This event led to the series becoming one of Comedy Central's highest-rated series. After ending The Colbert Report, he was hired in 2015 to succeed retiring David Letterman as host of the Late Show on CBS. He hosted the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards in September 2017

[[File:DarkBrandon.png]] Dark Brandonism
Dark Brandon or #DarkBrandon refers to a series of memes depicting a darker, edgier Joe Biden. The memes appropriate DarkMAGA imagery originally used by rightwing posters to depict Donald Trump as well as the Let's Go Brandon catchphrase used by conservatives to mock Biden and the media. The trend started in early 2022 on Twitter and in its original usage, Dark Brandon was highly ironic, with the memes mostly joking about Biden's perceived senility and inability to act in the forceful, dramatic ways depicted in Dark Brandon memes.

As the meme trend evolved through August 2022, however, it increasingly expressed an unironic appreciation of Joe Biden and the accomplishments of his administration. The memes often feature deep-fried imagery and laser eyeballs borrowed from Dark MAGA, as well as many of Biden's most meme-worthy catchphrases such as "Malarkey" and "Listen here, Jack."

According to The Economist, "NAFO's flippancy obscures its role as a remarkably successful form of information warfare.

[[File:LoveParty.png]] Love Party
Love Party (Italian: Partito dell'Amore, PdA) was a political party in Italy co-founded on 12 July 1991, by pornstars Moana Pozzi and Ilona Staller, the latter a member of the Chamber of Deputies.

Organized and conceived by Riccardo Schicchi, manager of porn stars like Ilona Staller (called Cicciolina) and entrepreneur of the sector, and by Mauro Biuzzi, political and ideological arm of the new formation, the party was born with declared intentions of diffusion in politics and in a society of issues related to sexuality, in a libertarian (for Schicchi) and Christian-social (for Biuzzi) sense. With the replacement of Staller by Moana Pozzi (who was of Christian faith) as a candidate to lead the party, a line prevailed that Mauro Biuzzi, ideologue of the party, defined from the beginning Christian-Dionysian and center and the party became politically placed it at the extreme center of the Italian Parliament.

Among the cultural roots, mentioned in the official site, there were in various ways the situationism, the theology of liberation, Nietzsche's Dionysian and Garibaldi's suggestions. Accompanied by a predictable scandal fumus, the party had in Staller and Moana Pozzi, another porn star who at the time was beginning to be known by the general public for her appearances on national televisions, her best-known candidates.

The party, from the beginning considered functional to catalyze the growing "protest vote" (that is, a way and a destination of the vote which, through sensational, insane or nonsense forms, intended to subtract electoral consensus from traditional politics), joined the Party Pensionati, a political formation that in its "corporative" appeal to the elderly, supported reasons that some approached to indifference or rather to the anti-political debutant, and together with this led an unusual political debut. This twinning, however, was interrupted with the formal entry of Moana into the party (late January 1992) and before the February collection of signatures, which the PdA carried out only for its new symbol, and which at the beginning of March allowed him to be admitted to the ballot papers and the related electoral campaign in April.

[[File:Cball-Tuvalu_Ulterior.png]] Tío2ism/Tuvalu Ulterior model
Tuvalu Ulterior (officially the Dependent Republic of Tuvalu Ulterior and part of Taiwan) is an ironical fictional Oceanian country from Inciclopedia (the Spanish version of Uncyclopedia).

Its current ruler is Tío2.jpg, who became president in October 2007 by overthrowing Anti-Goat Rape Party's Tuvalí president  Pedro Pastafarra through a coup d'etat, then electing himself with fake elections, starting a  military dictatorship.

Tío2 did his merits of lowering taxes, but this only led to a very large fiscal deficit, so he lowered taxes as low as they can go, then raise them by 100000% People strongly disagreed, a poll of those years showed that 76.666% of those polled believe the president was not doing a good job. Several newspapers like the O'diari O'solead (Sunny Newspaper) strongly criticised the measures of Tio2ism.png Tío2:

"So this Tío is doing everything wrong, he replaced the congress with a kilo of bananas, closed the banks and replaced them with candy shops. If there is one thing we are sure of, it is that these will be dark times for the country."

In November a coup d'etat was attempted (Tuvalu Ulterior Civil War), but with very little success, most people were damaged psychologically by Tío2's image and physically by the actions of the soldiers. There were other unsucessfull coup attempts, like one in 2017, when Tío2 disappeared for 3 days, later returning.

During the rest of his government, Tío2.jpg would be a noble president who's close to the people, promoting job, foreign relations and patriotism.
