    There’s a difference between i) writing a satirical comment that makes an extreme version of an argument to draw attention to the general argument’s flaws and ii) trolling people by continuing to pretend to hold a silly point of view, drawing them into a protracted argument.

    I’d prefer to treat your question as rhetorical.

      Satire typically requires a position which is distinguishable from sincerely held beliefs.
