    Oh, THAT’S what that is! Oooooooh, ok. Yeah. That makes sense. Couldn’t be a bunch of out of touch CEOs with more money than brains leading us down the worst possible path in the pursuit of profits by any means needed. That’s why they get paid the big bucks!

    …I swear I’ve posted messages with 10x more sarcasm, and I was mistaken for being sincere, and starting a fight. So if it’s not blatently obvious by my words and tone, apperently we now need to point out sarcasm on the internet. So this is me letting you know I’m agreeing with you, and egging the joke on.

    I swear society sucks today. I guess they sucked yesterday too. Probably will suck tomorrow too.

      to be fair, you need to point out sarcasm because some people lost the plot so hard that there are genuine comments that go beyond your wildest sarcastic ones.

      just like how Don’t Look Up was supposed to be an over the top satire of climate/science deniers but by the time that movie came out that side already went way beyond the level of crazy they could even satirically depict.

      musk fans who had a terrible time with the cybertruck still acting like it’s the best thing ever is another example. satire is dead because real people are crazier.
