Anything that is subject to Poe's law is going to be divisive shit that polarizes people. You are 100% sure it's satire and your uncle is going to be 100% sure it's meant to be taken seriously. Everybody laughs at thw counterpart and retreats further in their original opinion.
Turns out there’s a bug in the client I’m using and it wasn’t showing the comment about anti-intellectualism. All the comments I could see were replies to that comment that I couldn’t see, so I assumed they were replies to OP.
Remember when /r/conspiracy was satire. Or BirdsArentReal, or FlatEarth?
Yeah, turns out there's a reason satire is hugely divisive. Dumb people and many ND can't tell the difference lol.
Carefully tries to hide Rayo's number under a carpet

I might be mistaken, but I think this style was pioneered by Welcome to my Meme Page.

They have played us for absolute fools
Who is "they"?
"They... you know... they. The librul... mooslem... communist... trans... lizard overlord... libruls!"
I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.
I saw someone else post this:
The legal presumption of the “reasonable person”, often criticised by legal scholars, has most successfully been debunked, of all things, by social media.
It's easy enough to see that it's satire. But satire has made people into Nazis on 4chan.
Except that it is clearly satire - it's poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.
Having said that, one could argue Poe's law - it can be hard to tell these days what's satire and what's not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism
You may be misinterpreting the meme - it's meant to be intentionally silly, anti-anti-intellectual if anything. "YEARS yet no REAL WORLD USE found for counting any higher than your FINGERS" is definitely poking fun at people who think that higher academic notions are useless.
This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn't choose that community name. Lol.
Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.
