The number of people trying to explain that the Bolsheviks weren’t actually like that depress me. Why are they in a political memes community if they don’t know that Trump and Musk are accusing Democrats of being communists based on their pretty milquetoast policies?
I think if it had been placed in America it would have been better received. People don’t expect to have a serious conversation about critical reading skills in a meme community. They’re used to one liners and moving on.
Damn, this post is like a zoo for people not understanding irony and sarcasm

You won’t be able to save people who are unable to draw parallels between a hypothetical and a real situation, even when they are given a dozen hints.
Eh. Normally I would agree with you but these hints require a lot of known context.
But placing it in America ruins the joke. The whole point is that it was absolutely nothing like that.
Well there needs to be a better way to communicate the message then because it got lost in the noise.
Maybe. I just plan to be over here in the corner weeping at the death of satire.
Lmao, if A Modest Proposal was published today we would all be breathlessly talking about those Republican cannibals.
