Is there a name for people who always give themselves the possibility of backpedaling whenever they speak by invoking irony or sarcasm? Even worse, people who fully accept praise when they happen to be taken seriously but were otherwise prepared to throw their words down the toilet at the slightest hint of discord.

I haven't said or felt a single authentic thing since about 1996. I don't have any real position on anything. I tell people I support Trump; I tell people I support Clinton. I call people niggers ironically. I speak out against racism ironically.

Come at me, faggot.

For a long time this was me as well but
>>8718545 is right. You can't just keep avoiding the deep issues beneath by making a joke out of everything, eventually the wall of irony will crumble and you'll have nothing to protect you from the flood.

I'm somewhat the same. My beliefs have become chameleonic. Not so much because I'm a pussy lacking in conviction but because I've become convinced that reality is irreducibly complex and nobody understands anything about anything.

Yeah, right, hosers. I'm nearly 30. I'm pretty sure I've got this irony thing down. Even if it were to fail me, it would only be be failing ironically.

Also, you seem to presuppose the existence of "deep issues." Maybe you had deep issues. I ain't got none.
