Emulating their bullshit doesn’t give you the high road you think it does. Sure. It’s funny… but it just puts you on equal footing.
Now they can say, “See! They do it too!”
If this meme hadn't include the last line, I'd agree that it's emulating their bullshit. But that line means it's satirizing their bullshit by pointing out how easy it is to make up stories from social media posts. I hope future political scientists will call this "couchfucking."
Fair enough. But it’s considerably more difficult to speak from the high ground when participating in shit that’s equally as bad- especially when it’s satire.
Because you don’t get to say that you don’t any know better, like they get to.
shit that’s equally as bad- especially when it’s satire.
Satire is nowhere near equally as bad as making up a story and then claiming it's okay. At least satire doesn't claim to be truth.
Satire is the pot calling the kettle black, but for a different reason. It’s the same offense, regardless how you spin it.
Do as you feel you need to. I’m not judging, I’m simply pointing out a fact as I see it. It’s stooping- no matter how you dress it up.
You'd have to do way worse than that to be on"their" level.
