The anti-Chappelle revolt at Netflix shows leftism’s weakness.
‘It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it,” G.K. Chesterton observed more than 100 years ago. The Laughing Prophet, as he was known, pointed out that people who are secure in their beliefs need not fear mockery. It’s those with shaky doctrines who can’t tolerate laughter. Today’s political radicals hold their views with the fervor of a religion, and by Chesterton’s measure they’re rather weak creeds.
You can see then why they can abide only comedy that plays by their rules. Once a culture learns to laugh at its leaders, it’s hard to scare them into silence. So they’ll let you joke, all right. They’ll let you joke about how great the emperor’s outfit is and how beautiful the ceremony, and they’ll especially appreciate it if you make fun of the crowd of peasants and their filthy garb
Just don’t point out the obvious, or you could find yourself on the business end of a guillotine—or at least of a Netflix employee protes

We find humor in pointing out stereotypical idiosyncracies and absurdities.
They find humor in us starving to death.
That’s because they firmly believe they are intellectually and morally superior to everyone else.
They do have a sense of humor, or their version of one: mockery. But first they must twist the object of their mockery into something that isn’t even true. When they deride conservatives, for example, they assume they’re all racists or Nazis, not people who believe in individual freedom or limited government.
odd, since they are ALL CLOWNS!!!
Exactly what Rush used to say!!!
Trigglypuff is one again, raising her arms in ANGER!
There usually,isn’t any sense of humor in the demon driven- they thrive on anger and misery
But they are scared by garbage disposals, amazed that food grows in dirt, and could never differitinate an equation. Truly superior.
Because they ARE a joke. It would be like cannibalism.
Demonic possession does not allow for it.
(humor)
It is fun to taunt them. They are so quick to feign outrage.
[[That’s because they firmly believe they are intellectually and morally superior to everyone else.]]
Classic case of delusional visions for grandeur.
Republicans and Conservatives values act like a mirror to them.. when they view themselves in the mirror,, they see just how ugly they are deep down,, and it enrages them further.. their consciences are struck because they see in us what they know they themselves should be, but they reject these values, because those values conflict with their lusts.
Weare a constant reminder to them how morally depraved they are compared to our side
😆
‘Cause they are the joke
Republicans and Conservatives values act like a mirror to them.

Be careful about Republicans and Conservatives. Big difference between the two. ;)
100% correct, and also: the whole premise of ‘woke’ is to be perpetually offended so that everyone else has to bend to your will. One hint of joy destroys the whole myth.
oh they like “jokes”
as long as they are targeting enemies
because liberals use “humor” and “jokes” as political weapons against those they oppose
its why alinsky talks about weaponizing it to be an effective way to minimize and destroy someone
if most comedians are liberals, naturally the people they think are weird and funny and will comment on throw jokes are not like them
which is why you can like the few comedians like Chappelle who don’t spare anyone, who go out of their way to hit sacred protected groups, and who put jokes above liberal dogmas
