We’re just posting anti-union propaganda on the fediverse now?

Are y’all at least getting paid for it? fedposting

How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we’re just propagandizing against ourselves.

    edit: i do wanna point out that this isn’t so much an issue of ‘smartness’ as “large groups generally fail to understand anything more subtle than a hammer to the head” thing (i.e. a critique of irony in mass consumer culture of which the internet is a part)

    Agreed, not the best wording on my part, but in my head the list of words I could use (informed/aligned/sympathetic/etc) was just too long. Went for the simplest.
