> Yes, we're building a sad world. I'm glad you noticed

What is the point of sarcastic, passive aggressive comments like this?

I don't think it's particularly sarcastic. Its bitter, of course, because the world we're working towards kind of sucks. I'd like to opt out of it, but it's being forced on me.

The best I can do is understand its edges and try to find some advantage that leaves me well off enough to stave off the worst effects.
