      Why does every generation get more ironic? What's the explanation you've read or heard as to the rise of irony in culture more broadly?https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1377798138413613059 …

      Mass coordinated action used to be done out of sincere belief in God, the state What Gamestop, Doge, etc represent is mass coordinated action for the Lulz We’re so post-modern we’re less capable of sincerity, but we still wanna be social— It's only gonna get weirder from here.

      Irony is defense, sincerity is offense. Irony makes you hard to attack. People can’t pin down your position. But you also can’t drive things forward. Sincerity is opposite: more vulnerability, more drive. Pseudonymity is, interestingly, an alternate defense strategy to irony.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1162109296198344704 …

      balajis.com added,

      This is also true. Irony can be a defense against our era’s often fanatical sincerity. Overuse of irony makes it hard to determine what someone even wants. Overuse of sincerity is the Spanish Inquisition. https://twitter.com/liz_franczak/status/1162094690323197952 …

      So irony is effectively Straussian? That explains part of it, but what about things like Steakums vs. NDT? People call it late stage capitalism but...what does that actually mean

      We should have @ibogost on to discuss thing. He has a whole riff on it in his book.

          DFW is a part of my discussion of irony in the book. I think he gets a lot right and a lot tragically wrong.
