If you find the prospect of a centrist opinion writer and editor visiting a liberal democracy to be “frankly terrifying,” I do not trust you to cogently differentiate between that which you disagree with and that which is actually dangerous.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1026691991441002498 …

Jeet HeerVerified account @HeerJeetThe prospect of Nigel Farage and Bari Weiss being in Australia at the same time is, frankly, terrifying.* * Note: the "frankly" here is meant to be ironic and the the "terrifying" is hyperbole. In fact, the prospect of the two running into each other in Australia is comic. https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1026869977268334592 …5 replies 1 retweet 55 likes -
If you need a qualifier longer than your original statement then maybe consider just not saying anything for a time until you make your observation more coherent.

The reason I need to explain the joke is that we live in a sad world where bad faith actors insist on reading irony & hyperbole in a literal manner in order to score cheap point.

No, there was no one going WTF when I first posted it because it was read by my readers, who know I deal in irony & hyperbole. But now Conor etc. want to recast it as sincere, in a bad faith effort to score points. Very disappointing.

No dude this is unrecognizable as satire. Humor doesn't typically come with an instruction manual.

I wrote an instruction manual because I realized that Conor, Weiss, and Shapiro were sending some very dull-headed readers my way.

You're like the pied piper of intentionally obtuse humorless scolds right now.
