Wait, so is the op actually suggesting we be able to use commas? I thought op meant to say people who want to use commas are exactly like people who want to eat human babies to solve the problem of child poverty.
- hoorayimhelping 9y agoThe second one. I read this as the author making fun of people who act like not having trailing commas is a situation so dire we may have to eat children.

The author just borrowed the title of Swift's article in the sense "here's a fun title based on a historical reference, for something that, for once, it's indeed a modest proposal". They didn't intend it in the exact same way Swift intended it.
