Not to Brag, But I’m Totally Intellectual Enough to Be Brutally Murdered By Fascists

"a roving gang of far-right street thugs won’t request my full job title and last pay stub before bashing in my skull with a mini-bat."
But the Fascists and Nazis were all socialists, i.e. left wing.

poorly done satire?

Which side dresses all in black, wears masks, and pepper-sprays peaceful protesters again?

Thought so.

McSweeney's used to be be funny. A little. But losing libs also lose their sense of humor.

You are absolutely not shitting here. They all think they're going to be pulled out of line as one of the good ones, but as soon as they see the iphone and soft hands, off to the killing fields. Thanks, Useful Idiots!

At this point it is appropriate to throw in my plug to watch the YouTube videos of the late Yuri Bezmenov, may he rest in peace.

That was funny. This one is good, too.
"Perhaps I’m being too modest. I could tell my grandkids that I also wrote some Facebook posts and would Snapchat my friends during the debates with captions like 'LOL Trump what are you smoking?!' I could tell them about my nightmares, where I’m back on my couch, checking my Twitter notifications only to find that nobody liked my latest tweet. But I will tell them that I was just doing what any good citizen would do, and that a time comes in everyone’s life when they must decide whether to fight back against hatred and persecution or simply put down their iPhones and accept the status quo."

Not even close to funny, or real. When A$$hole's turn comes, the Antifa Rouge will simply round up everyone, faculty, staff, and spectacle-wearers, tie a plastic bag over their heads, and wire them by their necks to the nearest tree or signpost. They will be trophies in some Blackshirt's selfies. Deplorable non-intellectuals will be marched to rural labor collectives to starve.

Geeze, lighten up, it's satire.

PUHLEASE!

It's McSweeney's, you humorless sumbitches. Lighten up lest ye find yourselves the subject of the next round of mockery.

Never been a big fan of satire's disingenuous nature.

Gerard,
PLEASE! What is the provenance of that fascinating photo?

I have never taken any kind of threat with a grain of salt. Satire or parody, my AR and I would welcome them.

Hmm. Clever.
