Yeah…

> Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied.[1][2][3]

It's increasingly difficult to tell what's sarcasm and parody.
No, it wasn't clear. It's not that different from views I've seen expressed on here before.
Don't be ridiculous. Only fascist enemies of the state are ever sarcastic.
You just watch yourself, sarcastic twits are fourth down on today's list. And you just outed one.
