-# irony versus sincerity in conversations
-
-## Possible topics
-- roles of irony in voicing unpopular opinions (I am not sure how much each of these play a role generally):
- - showing a low level of commitment to one's opinions to others.
-
- > It's just a meme, bro!
-
- - having a loose and uncommitted relationship to opinions and ideas.
-
- (to oneself:)
- > It's just a joke. I don't even believe it, so I'm fine morally.
-
- - humour helps keeping an audience's attention, as seen in satirists' works.
- - being able to voice your actual hateful opinions. ![Hateful Opinions]
