Yay for scapegoating, rent seeking, humor at the expense of low status social groups, unreflective support of information cascades, asserting social dominance, solitaire, and adultery!

Don't forget satire and sarcasm! ;-)

And, as we see in the case of what Will seems to be doing here - irony and accepting-optimistic-cynicism (we need a word for that.)

How many upvoters do you reckon interpreted my comment the way you did versus the way Eby apparently did?

...Vs. interpreting it as non-ironic endorsement of the items you list.

Ironic versus non-ironic endorsement is somewhat blurred in this case I think.
