Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, we have entered a realm of reality where satire and

seriousness are indistinguishable, where if you do not know your interlocutor, you might

not know that he is in fact delivering the best deadpan satirical parody of all time.

Mr. Gadsad, author of such books as The Parasitic Mind and Happiness,

creator of the term known as Suicidal Empathy, put out a video that was so convincing

people actually thought it was serious. Behold!

I just found out of the terror attack of two national guards in D.C.

by Rahman Allah Lakhanwal from Afghanistan.

And as I think of this tragedy, I can't help but worry that this is now going to marginalize the

Muslim community and lead to more Islamophobia. So the guy who was granted entry into the

U.S. in 2021 so that he could live a better life here ends up shooting two people.

And my big concern is that there's now going to be increased Islamophobia.

So I suggest that we increase immigration from Islamic countries to show that we're not going to let the terrorists win.

I just found out. The problem is this.

I it's you feel almost dirty saying that this is funny that we live in a world where if you

don't know who Gadsad is and this is your first time seeing him, you're going to think what the

hell is wrong with this guy. Now if you've been around the world long enough,

you also know that pretty much systematically in the wake of terror attacks, wherever

they occur, you invariably have people saying, you know, the community of the perpetrator

is going to fear backlash, invariably.

And it's the suicidal empathy that Gadsad coined as a term.

Some people didn't know who Gadsad was, and they thought this was serious.
