Checked the account thinking it was maybe satire, but nope - just a vile ragebaiter. People can seriously suck.

Before, satire was easy. You could just make a message internally inconsistent and people would eventually realize "this can't be a real person's avowed opinion, because it doesn't make any fucking sense."

And then Death took on subcontractors to expand its market to communication.

Cue the idiots: i.e., influencers.

Ragebaiting is good for engagement and shareholder value. Or are you some kind of communist tankie that is against folk making an honest living???

It was so utterly ridiculous and straw grasping that I was convinced initially it had to be satire.

Reality really is disappointing.
