It depends on if they’re actually being ironic or not. I think it’s perfectly fine to use irony in humor, and to use irony to pock people in posts. What Brace is doing is fundamentally not the same thing as whatever memory you have of some channer from the mid 2010s was doing.
Furthermore, I don’t think anything majorly good or bad came from the great sturm and drang struggle over how a leftist is ever “supposed” to post or “supposed” to react to posts, except that it made a bunch of people on obscure online spaces mad and tired. Fundamentally, I think you and the other guy complaining in this thread are overly focused on how people react to posts as some kind of important barometer of politics, and I think that’s a reactionary and anti-materialist tendency, which, ironically, is the exact thing Brace is making fun of.
