How does Jonathan swift use satire in a modest proposal?

He mostly uses "parody" which is a type of satire. Parody is basically making fun of something else, to create sort of a "humorous" feel for it. It's just like the parody for Twlight, that someone wrote to make fun of it. In A Modest Proposal Jonathan Swift uses parody when he makes fun of the people and their children. Describing children as delicious food to be eaten.
