Don't worry everyone, I'm sure someone somewhere is worse and that makes this okay somehow.

Sometimes fiction and altered objects depict abstract concept better than real physical objects do and neoliberals tend not to say the quiet parts loudly like the fascist party on the other side of the aisle has increasingly been doing in recent years.

Do you not recognize that this is deceitful? I understand how fiction can present allegories to demonstrate real world themes. But this isn’t that. This is meant to portray reality and real life hypocrisy but is not actually real.

If the hypocrisy is true, why the deception?

If the hypocrisy is true, why the deception

Because the hypocrites do an effective job at explaining away and obfuscating their hypocrisy. This makes it clear in an way that literal reality doesn't.

The rich people weren't literally eating the babies of poor people when Jonathan Swift wrote A Modest Proposal, but that doesn't mean that his point about their callous disregard for those less fortunate was fraudulent.

This is basically visual satire.

Satire is not deceitful. You’re not meant to read A Modest Proposal and think rich people are eating poor babies. You’re meant to recognize the allegory and what it says about our real world.

This post is not satire. It is meant to deceive you into believing it is a real photo.

You're being way too rigid and literal. That's not how it is.

This post is not satire. It is meant to deceive you into believing it is a real photo.

Says you based on faulty reasoning leading to a seemingly willful misunderstanding of the point.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

You can’t lie to somebody and when called out say, it’s just satire.

I’m not being rigid at all. You are changing the definition of satire so you don’t have to admit this post is BS.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Nobody said that it physically exists. That's a claim that you inferred.

I repeat: nowhere in the OP or even in the comments does anyone say that it physically exists. The lie you keep complaining about is of your own invention.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

This is hilariously flawed logic. I’m guessing you know this and are just trolling now, so I’m gonna tap out.
