The answer would be Satire.

Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

B. Tragicomedy

Tragicomedy is a literary genre that combines both tragic and comic elements, it brings together the amusing and the grim sides of life

One of the many examples of this genre is the work of Samuel Beckett: Endgame (1958), whereby the author depicts situations where he suggests that beginnings and endings are intertwined, that existence is cyclical (For example, it makes references to Christ, whose death gave birth to a new religion), he conveys the message that life is absurd and meaningless, and perhaps laughter is the best response to that. There's a line, said by one of the characters, that best portray the play: "Nothing is funnier than unhappiness".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
