I don't know if this is sarcastic or not.
- Espressosaurus 3y agoIt's probably sarcastic. Probably.
- gloryjulio 3y agoI'm not sure either. It's really hard to tell
- ToValueFunfetti 3y agoIt's a one-sentence comment that undermines itself no fewer than four times; of course it's sarcastic. The only question is whether the two of you are being sarcastic.
- kayodelycaon 3y agoIt would be sarcastic if people didn’t believe things like that. If you’re in a bad situation, that’s your fault and not my problem. Kids with bad parents should have stood up for themselves. It leads to the implication that the kids should have picked better parents. I wish I was joking.
- maxbond 3y agoI have problems understanding online sarcasm all the time, and people do believe some ridiculous stuff, but no one is under the impression that 10 year olds have the right to vote.
- lazyasciiart 3y agoA victim of Poe’s Law.
- dllthomas 3y agoThere are clearly people who believe it's the parents fault, and not our responsibility (especially through government) to fix it. There may be people who believe it's the child's fault for... being born to those parents? Not earning full scholarships at 10? I am skeptical that there are many of those people. To a first approximation, there is no one who believes it's a 10yo's fault for not voting for different politicians.

- gloryjulio 3y agoI was assuming the one above me was sarcastic so I did a +1 to make it more obvious. Seems that didn't achieve the intended effect
- ToValueFunfetti 3y agoHaha, sorry to dampen the joke then, I wasn't sure.
- quest88 3y agoDo you think kids can vote?

- javajosh 3y agoI'd call it satire more than sarcasm, my primary target is the kind of argument that blames the victim. In this case, children cannot vote and therefore it is the adults' job to protect them. By allowing them to work these jobs, adult lawmakers are exploiting people who don't even get a say. It's self-evidently abhorrent. If you disagree, how do you even begin the conversation? It's like arguing with someone who thinks a plate of human shit is delicious - it's such an alien and disgusting position that it's almost impossible to engage with, except, perhaps, with satirical contempt. Which is what I did.
