Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

This sums up a large part of what passes as political discourse online these days. Especially on a platform like this where people have no skin in the game about the utterances they're spewing out.
