Remember: even in the most repressive autocracies, the leaders realised that jesters serve a purpose. Because if people can’t joke about how shitty things are at the present, they might see that as a sign that things are pretty bad, actually.
If the comedy is mucked with, that’s a sure sign that the politicians are getting a tad bit touchy.
Once again, they’re calling for the government to stop messing with things, when the actual problem is the private sector messing with things.
The governments of the world do not have secret weather fuckuppery cannons. And if they did, it’d be pee in the wind compared to the literally industrial scale weather fuckuppery cannons the industrial sector runs all day every day very publicly.
