For anyone who monitors a lot of news and political sources on social media, every day is filled with "The Onion or Not The Onion?" moments. Much of what the leftists-especially the social just warriors-do is often hard to distinguish from satire or parody.
Here's an example:

It turns out that the site was founded by a teenager and caters to teens. More on that in a moment, let's look at the meat of the post.
Now, history lessons aside; many people who disagree so far might be thinking, “Yes, all this injustice that happened in the past was undoubtedly awful. However, two wrongs don’t make a right.” However one can’t be sure if withdrawing the white man’s vote could be considered a “wrong”. Furthermore, the point here that has to be made is that banning white men from voting temporarily will help them understand systemic injustice and help them become better, more empathetic allies to the social justice cause. ......
That's the conclusion offered by the sixteen-year-old author. Let's commit an injustice to make people understand injustice. This, of course, is not unheard of from leftists.

Do you believe that only wounded combat veterans have the right to vote?
What minimum area of real estate would you require? Is the prospective voter required to actually maintain a residence or business on it?
Yep. Bottom line is that all voters should have skin in the game. And I don’t mean skin in the game of getting free stuff.
Blah, blah, blah, the usual adolescent vanity from someone who has never served her country or paid any taxes other than sales tax on pimple cream and bubble gum. Disenfranchising a heavily armed and increasingly pissed-off demographic may not turn out as easy as it sounds on social media. Try it and see.
Of course not ..... jeebus
But younguns making blanket racist demands have no pulpit to judge anyones deserving their rights. My post was meant as a one-on-one with the supposed teenybopper author, not the world in general.
Ok. Thanks. Just making sure I understood properly.
These people are doing all the things in reality they accuse us of doing fictionally
They want to take our bank accounts and steal our homes!!! Why vote?
Thanks, you’ve spotted it. A sock puppet.
And whoever thought him/herself so clever.
Brilliant! I would have never spotted it.
I think I still own that exact hat. The Firing Line forum was selling them in the late 90s IIRC.
This isn’t going to end well.
No one on welfare should be allowed to vote”
I’ve supported that view for 2 decades and stated it many times on this site. The parasites are out breeding the taxpayers.
Don’t be so sensitive, but ask yourself one question, who put Hussein the Marxist Muslim in office, twice?
I get what you’re saying. But think about this. If we allow people to vote based on how we think they are going to vote, then why have a vote at all.
It’s the same logic they are using when they say they don’t want white men to vote.
I lay it at the feet of those who built western civilization. The problem rests with too many contemporary voters who check the ballot box for the wrong reasons. For example, based on race, gender, and promises to steal property from others to give to them. And perhaps you are right; Of what value is a vote when a blackrobed tyrant can overrule millions of voters with the stroke of his/her pen.
