Whoosh?
Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
if it's satire, it's indiscernible from actual right wing hate. so pardon my 'whoooosh'able moment, you'll have to forgive me, this hateful disregard for history and decency seemed very authentic.
and fuck off with your whooooshy bullshit anyway
You didn't think "crying Jesus waving two American flags" was obvious enough? There's no "if" here, Ward Sutton has been doing that satirical bit in The Onion for almost 20 years now (it even says "Onion Syndicate" in the top-right)
The whole bit is the fictional cartoonist Stan Kelly is a horrible wrong-about-everything goblin. It's laughing directly at those assholes and their twisted view of the world. If you took like two seconds out of your misguided indignation you could have figured that out on your own.
Alright well being unable to integrate context into your experience is what we call a "you problem"
I mean feel free to read the other replies to your comment. It’s a well-known satirical cartoon.
good for you. do you want a cookie?
because when comedy is indiscernible from right wing bullshit, I don't find any of it funny, onion or not.
goddamn it how many times do I have to do this GDPR shit
REJECT ALL
Maybe youre just dumb?
ftfy. really reveals your superiority lol
Man, all you had to say is "ah, never heard of him" or "ah, nice to know" or something but here you are fighting with everyone. Well, I guess it's entertaining for some.
well fuck if we're fighting everyone get it on
