"Decimate" literally means only 10%, so that means they have like 90% of their rights still, right? ... Right???

Go check a dictionary. That was the original meaning of the word. Over time it has come to mean drastically reduce in number.

What exactly does this bit mean to you?

To me, it was intended as an indicator that the post is intended for humorous purposes, so the rest of the post should be interpreted in that light.
