Poe's law. If your bs is indistinguishable from that of a trolling fascist pos, then why is the onus on the reader to engage in greater effort to distinguish you from such, particularly since that would permit the use of Sealioning in order to damage the ability of the reader to engage with superior works and not have thier mind slowly contaminated with the propaganda and disingenuous bs that fills such works? Ed: came back BC there's a chance I've over reacted, primarily due to the frequency I've actually encountered those who use such games and hold such mindsets, all self identifying not just as right wing, but every class, and thus I find your actually ideology irrelevant and the fascist term is used as a short form for your engagement with the material and expectations upon others. Self declared Leftists can be fascist too.

Not a fan of internet culture laws; they're cute but meaningless. And you got it wrong too. Poe's law is about sarcasm, parody, and extreme views. I realize that what was center or center-left is now right wing for extreme leftists, but that doesn't change facts only culture perception. I asked questions. I acknowledged climate change and I ask about migration as just another factor. It is even in the OP article. The discovered cases were in Florida and Texas which are also largely effected by illegal immigration. "travel-related malaria": <Although both states see many travel-related malaria cases each year, those cases don’t usually lead to local spread. I am starting to think I am being trolled in some manner by someone working out their rationalization of their posts through edits and second guesses.

  Poe's law has broader implications than the initial definition. You do know language evolves right? I know you do, but this is another example of the game playing I was referring to when I said it. I won't play. And btw the Overton window has moved in the opposite direction to your claim btw.... Unless youre using the 1950s southern USA as your reference point for "normal".... But that would be ridiculous wouldn't it? To paraphrase Sartre: Never believe that Trolls are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The Trolls have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. I SEE YOU
