If one more person writes about something wildly successful a white dude did while quarantined when he either didn’t have kids at home or had zero obligation to look after them if he did, I’m gonna arm a raccoon with a screaming rubber chicken and set it lose in their househttps://twitter.com/PearlRiverFlow/status/1238854066677088257 …

Poe’s Law would be assuming it was earnest, non-satirical Unabomber praise (fair enough, there are weirdos.) But you also mention not knowing who he was; taking it as earnest because you didn’t recognize the name and thought he was just a random math guy is not Poe’s Law ^^;

Poe's Law hinges on the satire being casually indistinguishable from the thing it's satirising, and I'd argue that, as quite a lot of people don't actually know the Unabomber's name, this qualifies.

And "arm a raccoon ..." makes it worthwhile no matter what.

Trust me, tons of Americans don't know his name, either. No idea why True Crime fandom seems to think we all memorize the names of destructive men.
