Laughter doesn’t erase our better sensibilities about real topics. In fact, it’s the sweetener that makes that medicine go down. Otherwise, all we have is the horror of stark and bleak realities that have already pushed many of us to the edge of burnout. These people aren’t making light of our situation, or being insensitive about the plight of those effected, they’re being kind while reminding us of the core message: there are people in charge that believe in cruelty as a valid form of governance. Without humor, we’d all be looking away most of the time as it’s simply too much.
Also, your mind will work overtime to block things that hurt or shock you. But you’re far more likely to remember a good laugh. Jokes get the message out, and help make it stick.
Can you imagine speaking to a stranger face to face like this?
The lack of human in front of you turns you guys into robots without empathy for others.
You can ask a question and get an answer in the real world, but here you can’t ask a damn thing without someone calling you stupid or downvoting and insulting you simply for asking.
I’d be so embarrassed behaving that way to strangers
The court jester was very often the vehicle by which a king would learn of any discontent among his people. Humor and politics are like Batman and Robin.
I kinda feel like we’re beyond joke meme protest signs. This shit isn’t funny anymore
Humor is important.
