There is probably a ton of meta going right over my head with this one, but how is The Onion able to post on Twitter if they've been banned from Twitter?


They’re not banned. That’s the joke sir.

To add further: I think the joke is how many people cry about being “cancelled” due to cancel culture and nothing for them has actually changed in reality. Chapelle is a great example.

And also that their martyrdom becomes an economic windfall for them! Nothing says persecution like a t-shirt and bracelet combo!

Exactly. This is golden Onion commentary on internet culture.

Conservative humor fails for the reason most conservative art fails: lack of empathy. 

 

That’s a big part, I think nowadays it’s also just lack of reality. Like, it doesn’t work because it assumes “the nation” actually gives a fuck about hunter biden’s laptop. It almost works in an unintended way, making fun of people who thinks hunter biden’s  laptop matters, but it’s not trying to go that angle. Since all their serious rhetoric is almost indistinguishable from parody to begin with, using it to try to do parody falls really flat.

If it makes you feel better I'm so tired I didn't even realise those were Tweets.
