    Important Context: @ratlimit is a satire account.

    Well I know people who go for this shit in earnest, so it’s good satire.

    Reddit has a sub called r/peopleliveincities, I’m sure they’d be happy to accept this one as well.

      I’d argue that’s why it’s not good satire. this just goes straight into another conspiracy theory now. satire doesn’t really work when it straight up contributes to what it’s supposed to be satirizing.

      that’s like satirizing the US culture by shooting up a school.

          I’m sorry if that felt too harsh about US culture. i take it back. I should have said it’s like satirizing the US education system by shooting up a school.

          He’s literally making his point… And he’s entirely right. Do you understand the concept of hyperbole?
