Communists have always hated humour. Their poor understanding of human nature opens up the barbs of the satire so that any reasonable person can see that what they are seriously selling is a parody of itself.
Too many people deny themselves real knowledge by imprisoning themselves in a pre-established narrative.
Being open minded does not necessitate the dropping of critical thought. There is no limit to the amount of stupidity that needs to be filtered out.
Not all opinions are created equal. Most (although by no means all) will in due course be damned by the brutal reality of time. Unfortunately the selection process does not necessarily bias itself in favour of the good.
In a battle of reason and emotion most people will opt for the latter.
