The Sarcasm Trap – Introduction

Have you ever had the impression that no matter how THICKLY you lay sarcasm on…

– even if you give SPOILERS that you are being sarcastic –

That people STILL take it the wrong way?…

That’s because the unconscious / subconscious mind doesn’t understand sarcasm in certain contexts.

This is very important to understand, so please read this carefully:

The unconscious mind doesn’t understand sarcasm in many forms.  photo sarcasm.jpg

If someone says something, so that the audience can HEAR and SEE the person, then there are various cues such as tone of voice and body language. The unconscious mind picks up on these cues.

So if something sarcastic is said IN PERSON or as a VIDEO by a SKILLED ACTOR, the mixed messages reach the unconscious and it will create dissonance.

But it is still risky, and for purely written communication it DOESN’T WORK.

That’s because the unconscious mind can’t process the intent from just written text.

It’s similar to the way children don’t understand sarcasm, or how the unconscious mind doesn’t understand negations.

This is well-known in the field of hypnosis and NLP.

That being said, few people really come to grips with this.

The Sarcasm Trap is something all-too-easy to fall into.

Even some White geNOcide messages have been altered over the years because of this. A case in point:

Canada is 63% Racist and 37% Diverse. The U.S. is 61% Racist and 39% Diverse. Australia is 69% Racist and 31% Diverse. Europe is 82% Racist and 18% Diverse.

END RACISM NOW!!! WE NEED MORE DIVERSITY!!!

– Anti-racist logic

“Anti-racist” is a codeword for anti-white.

Note that the line “- Anti-racist logic” was added some time ago, because audiences didn’t “get it”.

And even with THIS line, many people STILL get the wrong idea…

But don’t blame the audience. You have to change the message.

It is NOT the intent of the communicator; it is HOW the message is understood.

So especially in purely written communication, stop the sarcasm!

The unconscious mind doesn’t understand it. It takes it literally!
