The poster I responded to was clearly taking the article at face value, even ignoring the satirical nature, it's a 5 year old article either way and not written about current events.
A post trying to conflate a 5 year old satire article and current events is factually wrong and should be called out, even if the source is obviously satire.
I would disagree because it proves the fact that these actions we see today is in align with historical trends.
