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.

Getting over my love of irony comedy was the greatest thing I ever did for myself. I still love sarcastic comedy, I still love lots of comedy Hexbear probably wouldn't like, that's fine and is what it is. I'll probably change over the years. But developing my entire personality around irony as I did as a teen was more damaging than any traumatic event I lived through. It's the act of separating your sense of self from the words coming out of your mouth. It can be funny at the right times, but developing your sense of self around being non-genuine is a great way to prepare yourself for being a fascist.
