Unfortunately, "sarcasm" can also contribute to the spread of misinformation. All it takes is one person to believe in a false message. Yes, it's true that the problem is much bigger than ourselves and normally I'd agree with your point on making matters (conditionally) light, but many people fail to realize that their impact can actually be greater than what they observe.
