There is /s but I opted not to use it.
Using it makes the sarcasm less “fun”/rewarding for me.
I am quite surprised at the amount of people that think people exist that would praise a monopoly and celebrate shareholder value. Sadly people thinking that means that they have encountered people who hold such beliefs seriously. Which is quite sad.
the problem is that those people actually exist and post. so it is hard to see the difference btw the monopoly/technocratic feudalists and the average sarcastic poster. being naive about that group is probably your first mistake. sorry for the heavy eyeroll and expression of disgust. Maybe find another way to have “fun?”
You’re assuming the indoctrinated ever bothered to learn what they’re celebrating as opposed to cheering in capitalism like it’s their favorite football team.
I thought the second sentence made that clear but apparently not.
If only there was an understood way to convey sarcasm.

It’s surprising that you are surprised that these people exist, when they’re very loud about how stupid they are.
Well I guess my bubble is pretty strong 😅.

If you’ve never been to the US, don’t. Half the population unironically hold those beliefs as sacred.
Okay celebrating shareholder value I get in an indoctrinated pure* capitalist society.
But praising a monopoly? Wasn’t that one of the main points capitalism should prevent?
Which does not hold true in reality due to various reasons and dynamics like entry cost…
Edit: These two are related as monopoly -> big shareholder value. Still the free market should prevent monopolies. Sooo Ahhh.
