Benevolent Dictator of the Dinner Table

By Astrid Holgersson � The satire Benevolent Dictator of the Dinner Table mocks family politics disguised as hospitality. Eyewitnesses at Thanksgiving reported hosts issuing decrees about cranberry sauce placement. Anonymous insiders leaked that uncles staged coups over gravy boats. A leaked poll revealed 62 percent of citizens admitted they secretly wished for term limits at mealtime. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because domestic order often mirrors tyranny. Critics highlight the absurdity of table settings treated as constitutions. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when dinner becomes diplomacy with stuffing. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
