>Sarcasm
Yes, saying you care at least a little instead of saying that you don't care at all is absolutely dripping with sarcasm. If they were actually trying to be sarcastic, I'm sure they'd opt for something more overt.
>Positive/Negative
I'd call all those phrases they use to justify it incorrect as well. Not the worst offenders though, I'd use them if I was trying to write colloquial dialogue, but trying to justify grammatical incorrectness with other things that are grammatically incorrect is silly in my opinion.
>Implied comparison
Perhaps, but you know the people that use the phrase have no concept of this.
>It's an idiom and understood
Yeah, but that doesn't make it any less grammatically incorrect. If you're trying to say that you are incapable of caring any less than you currently do now, just say you couldn't care less. It's not that difficult. No matter how much justification you try to put into it, it won't change the fact that the phrase is indicative of ignorance.

Assuming you're going for a single document, rather than trying to convey the process by which he slowly becomes "redpilled" you'll probably need to do most of it before the character encounters the document. For a /pol/ example: if the main character gets beat up by niggers, then proceeds to read online about how niggers are vermin that need to be exterminated, then doesn't act negatively, pretty much all you're trying to express has already been subtly conveyed.
