If I make some shit up and post it in /c/politicalmemes without actually trying to be funny, can I similarly write it off as “jk bro don’t take everything so seriously” whenever someone points out that it’s bullshit? Did we not learn our lesson from “it’s just a meme bro” as a justification after 2016 when disinformation in memes got a white supremacist conman elected president?
It’s posted in c/politicalmemes. So yeah, it’s a joke.
Damn, then it’s depressingly unfunny.

I thought it was funny.
Humor is subjective.
