That was... absurdly depressing comedy gold.

"The goddamn man hate here is toxic..." reminds me of the Roman Emperor Decius's infamous statement, "why do these Christians hate me so much?"

Decius was blind to irony, blind to his faults, blind to the obvious, Blind to all but the indictments placed on him by the very people he oppressed.

Funny in its irony, yes. But depressing in what it accurately illustrates in far too many people.
