I agree. Not funny at all.
Classically, satire is not about humor but a technique to bring about change. When Swift wrote A Modest Proposal he did not intend for his audience to laugh at the prospect of roasting and eating Irish babies. Swift intended to bring about change by making people feel very uncomfortable about what is really happening. That is exactly what this piece of satire is doing.
