Some people don't understand why Irony is far better than Sarcasm, on Any given Good Forum, on any given Sunday

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?
