Some people may very well understand, yet choose to pretend not to!

Others may choose to pretend to understand.

Or, others might pretend to understand is part of the game.

And so it is.

OP, you need to lighten up. Can I recommend some Ephraim Kishon literature?

I might recommend a splice of peyote, instead.

NATIONALISM is ironical in that rampant nationalism destroys the nation.

 

Is this an example that might be helpful...?

 

The irony is in the fact that, for example, in Germany, under Hitler, the Germans were striving to rebuild a nation, but destroyed their nation, in the process.

 

Nationalism is irony, in most cases, since it invariably destroys what it purports to be seeking.  Total irony.

 

So, this is my best example.

 

Well if we must discuss linguistic usage disputes what about parody or satire?

On AN/TV, when a poster who thinks they are really  clever makes a stupid comment and multiple other posters jump on it, the original poster comes back and says:

 

"Didn't you realize that was sarcasm?"

Irony is better

sarcasm is being mean to people, where irony gets all the wrinkles out of your clothes, and puts a nice crease on your pants .

I thought it would be obvious

Idiots all of you!!
