I enjoyed the article because I enjoyed how absurd it sounded. The joke about Illiteracy dawned on me very slowly, and I'm not from the US and don't know much about Roseanne Barr. Even reading her Wikipedia article didn't really seem to help. I then reposted the article basically hoping someone would explain the joke to me. I'm of course not being paid to do that. Though I have registered that the joke about illiteracy is actually there now, I have only gotten little other information, like that "Roseanne Barr is basically a hyper mega MAGA Karen" (sp3ctr4l@lemmy.zip, 2025), and that this appears to be a somewhat recent development in her world view. I'm starting to believe there isn't much more to it.
