Wow, how funny. You added ‘Our,’ to a word.

Wow. How funny, you added the word our to a word.

How funny. How compelling.

Have you read Capital? Have you read anything remotely socialist? Do you know what dialectical materialism is? Do you know anything about commodities, the relation of the worker and the capitalist, etc?

Adding “our” to a word and presenting it as ‘wOw Am CoMmIe’ humour is a brilliant, clever, Einstien-level joke. This is so far from the truth. In reality, using this technique is not only unfunny, but it’s also a lazy attempt at humour that relies on tired cliches and stereotypes. First of all, the very THOUGHT that putting “our” in front of a usual, everyday word automatically makes it socialist is a misunderstanding, a curse, a level of stupidity I cannot comprehend; are you, by any chance, an einzeller?Communism is such a complicated socio-economic theory that CANNOT be reduced to a simple ‘our,’ to reduce it to such a simple, low-iq linguistic trick. Using ‘our’ as a prefix is one of the worst attempts at humour I can imagine. Shame on you, shame. Secondly, the use of this technique is often associated with lazy humour that relies on stereotypes and cliches. This type of humour is not only unfunny, but it’s also hurtful and perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

Shame on you, ya filthy bumhole.

    Ackchyually, we did not add “our” to a word, because this was not an agglutination, as English is largely analytic. You fool. You absolute buffoon.

    Taking this seriously… even if this is an April 1st joke

    On the other hand, yes, it’s a bit tiring

    On the other hand, I feel indirectly attacked by yer post…

    Yeah, we shouldn’t be making brilliant, clever, Einstein-level jokes. Obviously, we should be making Vegapunk level jokes.
