No one has tried pure capitalism before so this argument isn’t in good faith.

I really think sarcasm needs to be properly marked in text formats.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 17 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

Reverse italics would work so well.

However I feel like to be truly good sarcasm, it needs to fly over someone's head.

Sarcasm doesn't need to decieve, it needs to make a point IMO.

Making it obvious with a /s or similar takes a away from that I feel

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 12 hours ago

/s doesn't take away from the point, it's just an indicator. In this day and age, it's legitimately impossible to tell otherwise sometimes.
