Satire isn’t always pure fiction. Sometimes it’s just reiterating a stupid point to highlight how ridiculous it is. Satire doesn’t mean “fake” and the success of the joke is not dependant on whether or not people are making those same arguments themselves. In fact, a lot of the best satire assumes the headline you’re putting forward is mocking genuine but daft arguments.
Just because you managed to type out an opinion on the internet doesn’t mean you are entitled to other people’s time and effort.
Not every random hot take in the comment section of The Onion community is going to be worth engaging. Particularly when the point is “cities are all shitholes so you should just leave!”
They don’t seem upset to me just dismissive. If I had to guess I’d say they probably don’t want to keep explaining to you what a facetious remark is. Which is probably a good idea, because you seem to be very dumb.
