And this still doesn't account for the nutcases that say this stuff, actually believing it, and then get showered with validation because the rest of us assume it is sarcasm.

Edit: whether someone is being "too unreasonable to be serious" is unfortunately no longer a reliable way to tell what someone is actually trying to say.

Then according to you, satire is dead. Time to hold a vigil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Hardly.

I'm saying satire that doesn't in some way tell you it's satire, can't be distinguished from the genuinely delusional.

And thereby the way satire tells you it is satire, needs to change. No part of the art requires that there be no way to truly tell, I would argue the opposite.
