    I believe they are speaking in jest, hence the comical premise and imagery which is a reversal of a common meme used to criticize capitalism.

      Maybe. There’s no real way to know anymore with all the batshit crazy opinions people genuinely hold.

        Sure, but on a platform with this many leftists, it wouldn’t be upvoted if the message communicated wasn’t this. They also almost certainly would not expect it to be a successful comment if this wasn’t their intention as well.

        I definitely get this, but sometimes I decide it must be meant as a joke because it’s easier to respect them as a person if it is

      Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.
