I am DEFINITELY being sarcastic! That last one was the most famous piece of sarcasm ever written, "A modest proposal" by Dr. Jonathan Swift!

I can understand the limits of text to convey subtle meaning but if you're that far removed from culture that you cannot pick up when someone... I am loathe to say "alludes" (more like beats you over the head) to the most famous piece of satire in all of history then maybe you should consider getting off the internet and picking up a book.

I'm not English nor Irish (or from any anglo-saxon-adjacent place) to have Jonathan Swift as any important part of my cultural-literary canon, so excuse the ignorance but at the same time fuck you for telling me to "pick up a book" as if I should have known your cultural references :)

(And yes, the "fuck you" is in jest, I'm still astounded [and a bit ashamed] I didn't pick up the sarcasm at first...)

Sorry.

Touché. If you wouldn't mind sharing where you're from and what you consider a good example of satire in your region I will take my own advice :-)
