Yeah, the US gov seems to use The Onion as a manual these days, it desensitises the wider concept of satire because any nonsense could be a real thing.

It's wild that people think disengaging from the system completely is a solution, particularly when they aren't pursuing the alternatives. They are always light on what the alternatives are beyond starting an actual revolution (noones doing that, and if they are they are doing a shit job and need to start building some momentum and pressing ahead, turnaround on the plan-implement cycle needs to be quick lest it be dismantled by the state before it can get moving) or wallowing in self pity (not going to help).

Satire is truly dead.

To be fair tone is hard to read. That said I am not sure our fellow lemms would get it. Some of us here read things to strictly. It reminds me of christian fundies in a way.

I didn't catch the satire either, but I think it's because I don't know you and, well, people say a lot of dumb things on the internet. It is sad that discourse has gotten so stupid that I thought you were serious.
