    I can’t tell if this is an example of Poe’s law or why it’s a thing.

      It was supposed to be hyperbolic and sarcastic, but it looks like such beliefs can actually be held.

        Sarcasm and hyperbole are two of my favorite things, but Poe’s ls is a real thing.

        Without a clear indicator of intent, it’s impossible to distinguish snark from extremism
