      User is a sarcastic concept account cosplaying as the most ridiculous pro-billionaire stooge possible 😁

        First I didn’t get that it was a joke. Then I got that it was a joke and it was an okay joke. Then I saw the joke over and over. Now I’m sick of the joke and I downvote it (not that it helps).

          To the unobservant, yes.

          Not their fault that end stage capitalism and the resurgence of fascism have made the most braindead takes mainstream enough that it’s more difficult to spot the difference between sincere idiocy and satire 🤷

            Satire isn’t just ‘say a ridiculous thing and hope people don’t take it seriously’. There’s supposed to be an element of commentary. This guy is basically just a pro billionaire bot spitting out what they actually believe.

              Yeah, you clearly haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. If you’d had just a cursory glance at their comment history you’d have found such gems as “ABUB: Always Be Union Busting” and this one:

              Under capitalism I allow my workers no such thing, they must toil physically for a full work day and if I catch a whiff of complaint or dissent, I threaten them with unemployment. Not only will the trenches not dig themselves but my profits don’t come out of thin air. I need them to work extra hard so I can pay off my second sailing yacht (one stays in the carribean, the other in the med) this year and put a down payment on a third (south pacific).

                Are we supposed to check comment history every time we see some moron that’s bad at satire make a comment that’s identical to actual bootlicker rhetoric?

                    Hey guys this is satirical! Don’t find it funny? Maybe check my entire account history and determine that it’s satirical in nature?! WHY ISN’T ANYONE LAUGHING AT THE HILARIOUS SATIRE THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO DISTINGUISH FROM THE REAL THING?!!1!

                  Nah, only the times when you make definitive statements about comment patterns and the overall quality and nature of the entire account.

                  You know, the rare occasions where it’s actually what determines whether you have a point or are full of shit and doubling down to avoid having to just admit that the subtle difference between satire and stupidity eluded you 🤷

                    Wrong about what? You think this guy is some comedic genius and I disagree. He sounds like what actual bots and shills say. I have a feeling you’re more invested than just a ‘fan’ of this random internet account, but if you are just riding some random persons dick then that’s kinda sad lol.

              So making fun of bootlickersin a room full of people who don’t like bootlickers is a bad thing now?

              Or are you just expecting people to be too stupid to spot the differences between playing a loathsome persona for laughs and being a loathsome person?

          Congratulations, you win the “stupidest shit I’ve heard all day” award.

          I suppose you also think Christian Bale is actually Batman?
