Schrödinger’s Irony 

Schrödinger’s Irony is when a meme is racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive. The OP of the meme decides if it was ironic or not based on the reception it gets, thus being ironic and non-ironic at the same time.

“It’s Schrödinger’s Irony! My meme is racist and not funny, you say? Well then it was merely ironic!”

Schrodinger's Irony 

When someone says something that is of controversial nature, then decides whether it was irony or not based on the other people's responses.

Guy 1: "I fucking hate everyone"
Guy 2: "That's not very nice..."
Guy 1: "Chill, it's just a joke ok?"
Guy 2: "Yeah sure, that's just Schrodinger's Irony"

irony squared 

Irony as an external attribute; beyond the qualities of an implicit component. Irony as a subjectively-applied attribute of an object which ALREADY contains internal ironic components. Irony that falls outside of the bounds of postmodernism. Postmodernists call it post-irony and ascribe it primarily to post-postmodernism; although much of post-irony arcs farther, into hypermodernism. Includes ironic nihilism, ideal ironicism (aesthetic), and ironic identity (racial; collective conciousness). Popular in the alt-right messaging approach

A number of late 90’s postmodern academics considered second-degree existential irony to be a boundary of postmodernism rather than external to postmodernism itself; however this analysis did not take into account the unique attributes of nihilism as compared to existentialism as a whole

Ironic nihilism is an example of irony squared because nihilism itself already contains implicit irony.

Irony snob

As defined by eeClayton:

someone who analyses passages for ironic content, and then remarks - "ha, how ironic"

I hear that television intellectual has a new book out

Yes, that's right. She has hidden her lack of wit with a sarcy kind of irony.

And there is a lame photograph of her in the inside cover, taken whilst she brooded around after graduating from her college course in Sexual Politics or some such pseudo what the what all irony snob

Pareto's Iron Law

The Italian sociologist living in the early 20th Century observed that the distribution of wealth and income remains roughly the same in modern industrialized societies no matter what governmental policies are pursued. A corollary of the Iron Law is the "circulation of elites" where groups vie to be the dominant group under various guises including equality and social justice, but there is always an elite no matter what.

Liberal elitist humanitarian: Let's pass legislation to make a more equal, fairer society.

Conservative realist: That will get us no where except you leftists will be in power rather than us. There is the brutal fact of Pareto's Iron Law. We cannot escape inequality of result.

Liberal elitist humanitarian: Well, I know, but at least we will be ahead of you conservatives. We hate you because you do not love everyone as we leftists do.
