Come on man, everyone knows that the Guardian is just for people 'who claim to be highly educated with a smug sense of superiority because its so unapologetically left wing and uses big words to make them feel clever'.  |  | | |

That appears to be fake news. A search reveals no article by Owen Jones to that effect, and this suggests the website is pretty dodgy.
But well done you for linking it because a lie is half way round the world before the truth has got its pants on.

I mean it’s quite clearly labelled as a ‘parody’ account…
Is this some sort of double whoosh? | | | |

If only social media were that simple.
In my view, if that were widely circulated, the vast majority would take the central message in the post, which I believe is the point of such websites because they play into and reinforce prejudices. [Post edited 19 Nov 2025 14:12]

Surely if that were the case it would be better to masquerade as faux news, rather than a clearly labelled satirical account (regardless of whether you find it funny or not).
Removing satire from the internet because some people are a bit thick seems a little dystopian (and surprising, as I see you as more at the liberal end of the spectrum). You could end up with censorship of political satire content which would make for a very dull. Best delete my spitting image follow in case people think the puppets are spreading fake news. | | | |

I have never called for the censoring of the internet but that doesn't mean I think what goes on there adds much in the way of enlightenment. | | | |

You literally linked a genuine Guardian piece the other day that had Shabana Mahmood being dragged from her bed, put in an orange jump suit and deported from the UK. |  |

That you didn’t recognise that as parody, probably says more about Owen Jones… | | | |
