    Many comments being posted are intended as satirical, but the actual apologia resembles satire so much that I think the intentional satire is rather creating confusion above all else.

      Creating confusion for you maybe. Nobody else took my comment that seriously.

      I said “shooting holes in a water tower to make trickle-down economics work” as a reply to someone making an obvious quip. IDK if you’ve just never been around leftist discussions, but joking about how fucked trickle-down economics is isn’t an endorsement of building megayachts that wreck the environment and provide no good to society.

      Stop being intentionally obtuse, or just don’t blame others for your inability to read between the lines.

      EDIT to add: I also explicitly stated it was satire in response to the only other comment that replied to mine taking it seriously. But even their comment just seemed more like a clarification for anyone else reading, not someone actually taking my comment seriously.

        The general view is one I have reached after reading hundreds of threads or more.

          So then why reply to my comment with a hostile argument when there was already a thread in reply to mine which cleared up any possible confusion?

          You can’t read satire, got confused and replied without spending the time to even read the other reply saying the same shit you said.

          And you wanna blame satire for creating confusion.

          If u smell shit everywhere you go, check ur own shoe bud.

            You are applying overly broad extrapolations, distorting the sense of my comments, and also imposing an inaccurate view that I expressed hostility.

              So leading with “the argument is sloppy” is a nice friendly way of opening a conversation?

              Please tell me exactly what I’m broadly extrapolating or distorting here, because your comment makes broad accusations without actually talking specifics, while mine does exactly the opposite. If anything, ur the one extrapolating bs.

              You’re the one that chose to make a useless comment in the first place, don’t bitch when you get called out for it.

              You just literally don’t know how to accept/respond to satire, and when you realized you took satire seriously, instead of saying “oh okay” u got defensive and offended.

              Grow tf up dude. Let satire exist. Read other replies before adding to meaningless drivel like you did.

                I am rejecting your characterization that I have been hostile, which is also not supported by the text you quoted.

                Your tone consistently has escalated toward one that is petty and oppositional.

                  Starting a reply with “the argument is sloppy” is unfriendly, yes. Deny it all you want.

                  Your first comment was 100% unnecessary if you’d spent 30 seconds to read further into the thread instead of taking those 30 seconds to tell me I’m wrong.

                  That’s antagonistic.

                  Now go look up the definition of hostile.

                  Your tone consistently has escalated toward one that is petty and oppositional.

                  Yeah bc ur comments from the first one have been utterly pointless, added nothing to the discussion, and shown that you have an inability to just admit when you’re wrong.

                  The other person who took my comment seriously just up voted my reply saying my comment was satire and left it at that. U just got something up ur ass and can’t handle ppl correcting u.

                  Bye lil bro, have fun arguing with the ether. Hope you can grow tf up someday.
