      I don't think irony poisoning will be going away until we're part of strong parties, unfortunately. I think it's very much a "very tiny fringe political minority online" phenomenon, it helps folks cope.

      IRL organizing can be better, at least if you find the right working group. Not that you aren't welcome here, comrade, because it's good that you're here. But if you're looking for a way to avoid that culture, you might appreciate an inclusive irl leftist space.

      I'll try to be less irony poisoned then. It might be hard for a lot of us because it's a coping mechanism, but if it isn't helping us connect meaningfully then it is unhelpful.

          That's true, but if it gets in the way of people like you feeling welcome or, more generally, people actually connecting, it's not a very healthy coping mechanism. Ssying "I wanna die" or "I'm stupid and I suck" can also be coping mechanisms, but they aren't healthy and I stopped.doing them cause they didn't help me or make my friends happy. I can try to do the same here.
