        You think there's any practical difference between an idiot honestly saying something and idiot ironically saying the exact same thing?

          Fuck that's deep. I'll just repeat what I said before then.

          There is no legitimate authority in this country. Justice must be dealt out by those who would otherwise be victims.

          The Black Panthers got it right. We take care of each other, but we take care of racists when they come after us.

          We have to do that while at the same time dismantling the systems creating these conditions.

          You must address the cause, but you also have to address the symptoms so they don’t literally kill you.

            Oh ya, I don't disagree with you or your sentiment at all. I'm just pointing out this unpaid intern posting "as a proud liberal" ironically has the exact same societal effect as the person you argued with who earnestly posted it. Performative liberalism now turns into liberalism in the future.

            The harvard lampoon have a long history of being liberal irony trolls @ 22 and growing into rightwing media oligarchs. The concept of 'trolling' is just a way of weaponizing that. At least the liberals @ harvard eventually get paid. Trolling for free is just cuckery.

                I think you're using the words satire and irony interchangeably. Satire requires heightening and commentary. Irony-trolling is just word for word saying something an asshole would say with the subtext being /jk. That shit is dumb. Look at the old lampoon issues, its just the racist shit their parents were saying and they thought it was "pwning their dads" to put it in print and say they don't believe it. Nah they were just sharing it. It's like all the idiots trying to pwn someone with a retweet. Dummy you lost the second you retweeted it, that was their goal and you just raised their engagement.

                It's just not as easy as "if its true and i enjoy saying it then it must be helpful" and thats the reasoning behind mainstream political satire.

        At risk of being called a radlib: you shouldn't punch nazis for whatever dumb reason.

        You should punch them because they're nazis.
