  I don’t understand why people think OP doesn’t know it’s satire.

    Anything that is subject to Poe's law is going to be divisive shit that polarizes people. You are 100% sure it's satire and your uncle is going to be 100% sure it's meant to be taken seriously. Everybody laughs at thw counterpart and retreats further in their original opinion.

      Turns out there’s a bug in the client I’m using and it wasn’t showing the comment about anti-intellectualism. All the comments I could see were replies to that comment that I couldn’t see, so I assumed they were replies to OP.

    Remember when /r/conspiracy was satire. Or BirdsArentReal, or FlatEarth?

    Yeah, turns out there’s a reason satire is hugely divisive. Dumb people and many ND can’t tell the difference lol.

    I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.

      The right state of mind is boring. People only want boring when excitement becomes tiresome.

    You may be misinterpreting the meme - it's meant to be intentionally silly, anti-anti-intellectual if anything. "YEARS yet no REAL WORLD USE found for counting any higher than your FINGERS" is definitely poking fun at people who think that higher academic notions are useless.

      This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn’t choose that community name. Lol.

      Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.

    Except that it is clearly satire - it's poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.

    Having said that, one could argue Poe's law - it can be hard to tell these days what's satire and what's not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism

  I might be mistaken, but I think this style was pioneered by Welcome to my Meme Page.

  OP, the Kbin link should have /m/ instead of /c/ to work.
