I've met people like this before: I hope it's satirical, but wouldn't be shocked if it was posted in earnest.
Edit: Yes, I am now aware this particular account ia just satire.
Satire can be hard because people approach an Einsteinian ridicule limit at which point they become indistinguishable from the most blatant satire about them... But I have to take a stance on this one, he hangs a hat on it - "one of those morons". Come on!
Some people are like characters that escaped a comedy skit.
The account is entirely satirical.
Yes, I am aware now. Thanks.
My point was more that people who really think like this exist.
Who think "I'm going to say something satirical" and then say it?
No, people who earnestly say shit that sounds satirical.
Well yeah, satirists need someone to satire
Not quite what I meant but yeah, sure.
