    People have said so much insane shit over the years that it is genuinely becoming harder and harder to tell what is being said sarcastically and what is not

      Yeah but this one was still super obvious. At least if you read the whole thing.

          Yeah I guess that’s fair, there are a lot of those types in the world in recent years…

        Also, posted in a meme community. So, like…doubly obvious to anyone who spent literally more than a second thinking about what they were reading.

      This is a laundry list of things that are just very obviously the opposite of punk, though. It’s like if you asked someone to define “anti-punk,” they’d rattle of something very similar to this. It’s also in “Microblog Memes,” a meme community. The things posted here are jokes, and as such its nature as a joke is reinforced by the context in which the text is presented. This is Media Literacy 101, stuff.

      If someone in full seriousness says something like in the screenshot, it unintentionally becomes satirical.
