I know these are meant to be funny but double negatives always piss me off so much. Like they are literally useless and make parsing the sentence for meaning harder because they add a bunch of noise in front what you are actually saying.

Like they are literally useless

So I should write “Hate Capitalism, even as a joke.”

That doesn’t mean what I said.

    Serious answer: that doesn’t say what I said. My statement has no state where “liking capitalism” is an option. If someone says, I hate capitalism because X, and you say X is wrong because funny reason, you’re not saying “I like capitalism as a joke”.
