I was like "OMG! They finally understand how I feel!"
The best satire borrows heavily from reality.
The best satire is reality.

It is very real but journalism hasn't quite evolved to state facts yet. They're still at the gaslighting stage of making us think our unhappiness is the result of our own poor choices and shortcomings, and that everyone else is happy except for us.
