I think Karsten knew that, since he said:

Or maybe you were being sarcastic, or ironic, or ironically sarcastic, or sarcastically ironic. Poe's law.

Quote
Parker predicted the inevitable success of the abolitionist cause this way:
"I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice."
