Performative Irony

Performative irony is when sincere things are said in such away that makes it seem ironic or not serious. While people who believe in what is being said takes it seriously. Performative irony is most common on the internet, where opinions are fluid and trolls plentiful.

This term was originally coined by Innuendo Studio’s video “The Alt-Right Playbook: The Card Says Moops

Questionable Troll: “ nazis did no wrong”
Normal Person: “Okay, troll”
Actual Nazi: “Yes, nazis are an oppressed group, we need to rise above”
Normal person: “Woah— that was a joke right? That wasn’t Performative Irony please?…”

Irony snob

As defined by eeClayton:

someone who analyses passages for ironic content, and then remarks - "ha, how ironic"

I hear that television intellectual has a new book out

Yes, that's right. She has hidden her lack of wit with a sarcy kind of irony.

And there is a lame photograph of her in the inside cover, taken whilst she brooded around after graduating from her college course in Sexual Politics or some such pseudo what the what all irony snob

feline irony

The tendency of cats to sit on the lap of the person in a room who least wants that to happen.

With typical feline irony, Tiddles climbed on to the heavily allergic Juliet, even though Romeo was trying to attract the cat's attention for a cuddle.

irony-of-empire

The phenology of an empire needing to continuously expand its borders AND impose racial segregation on its subjects.

As the empire grows it runs out of capital to continue expanding.

The empire then allows racial integration in order to free trapped capital within the empire.

This ends the empire in a 300-year timeframe.

The irony-of-empire paradigm argues that racial integration is an attempt by the empire to free capital to fund expansion in contrast to an altruistic attempt to become more just.

It indicates that empires fall to the laws of capitalism more than any contrapositive external condition.
