The movie, The Raven and the Seagull, portrays the post-colonial relationship between Greenland and Denmark through the over use of stereotypical Greenlandic garments and stereotypes. It sincerely conveys its message through hyper irony - it returns from irony to sincerity.

irony-teen

noun /ˈaɪ.rə.ni ti n/

A digitally native teenager or young adult (typically 16-23) whose online persona is built on performative irony, detached humor, and carefully curated "chaotic" behavior. Irony-teens communicate primarily through layered sarcasm, absurdist memes, and meta-commentary that signals cultural literacy while maintaining emotional distance. They often adopt exaggerated personas or "bit" accounts that blur the line between genuine expression and performance art.
Jake: bro why did you send that crying wojak meme in the main chat

Tyler: it was funny lol, just the basic "me when monday" one

Jake: dude now all the irony-teens are quote tweeting it with their weird shit
Marcus: what happened?

Jake: look at this... screenshots "BESTIE WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO POST UNIRONICALLY 😭😭😭 the way this wojak is literally me but also sending me to another dimension... why is this the most devastating thing i've ever witnessed, i'm actually ascending"

Tyler: what the fuck does that even mean

Marcus: bro they talk like they're having a religious experience over a basic meme

Jake: and now there's like 50 replies all talking the same way... "this would kill a victorian child" "i'm literally perishing" "why is this so unserious"

Tyler: should I delete it?

Marcus: nah fuck it, let the irony-teens have their moment. they'll move on to something else in like an hour

Jake: it's just exhausting man, like can't a wojak just be sad without someone making it into performance art

Tyler: next time I'm just sending it in here lmao

irony-of-empire

The phenology of an empire needing to continuously expand its borders AND impose racial segregation on its subjects.

As the empire grows it runs out of capital to continue expanding.

The empire then allows racial integration in order to free trapped capital within the empire.

This ends the empire in a 300-year timeframe.
The irony-of-empire paradigm argues that racial integration is an attempt by the empire to free capital to fund expansion in contrast to an altruistic attempt to become more just.

It indicates that empires fall to the laws of capitalism more than any contrapositive external condition.
