The problem with this type of mocking is that at its core you are still legitimizing an insane, mentally ill cults beliefs and manufactured terms by using them and expanding upon their premises
That's been a common tactic of the left. Imagine people thinking the old Colbert Show was legitimizing conservative beliefs. I'm all for fighting fire with fire. The right has always lacked a creative, sarcastic, and mocking tone compared to the left. I think that really changed in 2016 with a lot of people checking out of The Cathedral and taking their tools of rhetoric with them.
That said, I have made jokes about us reaching a singularity where the minute one of us comes up with an issue to mock, they will take up with a passion. Then the goal becomes to make things so miserable that the system collapses and the pedulum swings back hard.
unfortunately pointing out hypocrisy doesn't work against perpetual victims
you "attacked" them using their own arguments, therefore you're still the bigot
That’s not the point of the sub. We’re all just trying to acknowledge how valid and cute we are without transcels attacking us.
no no no, even when they attack you, it's because you existed therefore you attacked them first

Legitimizing or satirizing?

Glad more people are talking about the Cathedral around here.
Nah we're just having fun and driving them nuts.
