Everyone seems to be taking this seriously. Am I the only one here that reads this as sarcasm?

You might also be the only on here who didn't read his bio.

I'd have to actually search his name then, right?
I don't know who this person is.

Poes law

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

True, but I often feel like people use Poe's law as an excuse not to engage mentally. It's really uncharitable, actually.

Like, I can hold the view "is sincere" and "is sarcastic" in my mind simultaneously until something confirms or denies one.

And it's not like it matters that much. If he's sincere, I'll say "wow, that's crazy, " and if he's not, I'll say "wow, that would be crazy."

[e] Just to clarify, I see now he's a Fox news contrib. So, he's paid to be nuts.
