    It was totally leftist…which is why small business owners backed them and other conservative parties formed government with them.

      People these days really are sheltered if they can’t detect sarcasm without it being specifically called out…

        How do these people function in their daily lives? Do they have service dogs or something who bark every time someone makes a joke?

          ~70% of communication is nonverbal. Body language and tone of voice convey that you intend something opposite of the literal words you’re using. When you throw the nonverbal aspect out the window for an entirely verbal exchange, especially online where everybody is a stranger and potentially something akin to but not necessarily a Nazi, it’s pretty difficult to ascertain whether you’re dealing with somebody who is broadcasting silly thoughts to satirically display the stupidity and absurdity of supporting fascism or an actual supporter of fascism who is actually stupid and absurd. Without using italics or “/s” we can’t know for sure because there are almost certainly some dipshits who believe whatever you say sarcastically without a shred of self awareness.

          But yeah, I think the comment you’re talking about was pretty obviously meant to be sarcasm. It could only be misunderstood by people who don’t know what those words mean lol.

          At first I thought lemmygrad was a satirical instance making fun of communist talking points by exaggerating them…

          So yeah, sometimes it’s hard to distinguish.

      Also, they called themselves National Socialists. After all, would a government ever lie?

        I thought the sarcasm was obvious enough to not need that. 🙂

          I got it, but in our current age with what’s going on we need to be clear unfortunately. We will not accept fascist/Nazi views and should do everything possible to remove them from society. Tolerance of intolerance (specifically in the context of this post) does not fly. Those views are not welcome in modern society. They should never be welcome in any society. This isn’t for you SeaJ. It’s for anyone who could even contemplate that ideology. If you sympathize with Nazi ideology you are not welcome here and “here” is Earth. Go subjugate Pluto and get off my planet!

      It was rightwing and fascist… How do you come to the conclusion it had something to do with communism?

        Read the first part of my comment and then read after the ellipsis. It was sarcasm. 🙂

        Clearly a left wing party is not going to be supported by business owners and conservative parties.
