But if we don't let them do this then the super yacht companies will go bankrupt and it will destroy the economy!
Gotta say it. This line of humor is a problem.
It keeps people from doing more than "heh heh, yeah this sucks".
Agreed. It derails the flow of topic away from discussion.
learn what satire is
Totally understand satire.
This is defeatist humor which weakens the stance of the subject.
I seriously don't think you do, here is a definition.
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
Continuous use of irony eventually makes the person communicate the idea unironically. Be careful with how often you are spouting this before you start believing it.
Please explain Steven Colbert then...
This sentiment is a load of BS and you know it
