This level of satire is going to fly right over the head of anyone who actually needs to hear & get this message. At least the rest of us can smile with bitter amusement at the Kafkaesque nightmare we’re all living in.

I’m usually in favor of this level of satire, but I think some of the commenters are getting confused. Or maybe I’m confused about them, it’s getting too hard to tell.
As the kids like to say these days: “I’m tired, boss.“ We’re all really fucking tired at this point. The last decade has felt like 25 - 30 years of continual warfare, at least mentally / emotionally. It’s hard to even distinguish satire from weird forms of trolling in this era of online bullshit.
I guess I should feel lucky I only noticed this BS from around Gamergate time, which amazingly is only 10 Years or so ago. I just hope My kids have a better time finding joy in this hellscape.
Gamergate feels like 15-20 years ago in my mental map. I still remember being utterly confused by the whole thing, especially why so many people were acting like something that was clearly a misogynist meltdown by a bunch of maladjusted assholes was some sort of legitimate movement!
Instinctually my first thought was… “Kafka wasn’t this dark” 😞
No, we were forced to read Kafka in school... dude was a source of pure utter despair and head hurting absurdity. Why do we subject middle-schoolers to such horrors?(like, in the EU, where other horrors are less prominent)
