I literally have this problem as a hyper sarcastic empathetic person. I make a nuclear take that could be really funny in the right environment, but then I stress immediately after that I hurt someone’s feelings.

a) I am autistic as fuck and dont want to be mockingly reminded of my disability so I respond in ways that are indistinguishably ironic and sincere at once

b) I actually believe what I said somewhat, it’s ok to have silly habits, it’s ok to criticize that, but you can definitely overdo both and neither makes you more communist-er

c) I had this line echo in my head in Donny’s voice so I had to say it

d) I presumed you were not serious, but I would not have bet on it
