In a time of utter censorship, is laughter the new blackmail? Is it a tool of the far-left to delegitimize the far right? Or is it a weapon that can be used in place of all other forms of censorship?

00:00:00.000 For decades, the left has used humor in a subversive way to mock their political and social enemies, namely white conservatives, especially country folk and southerners.
00:00:10.580 We've all seen it in film and TV. It's nonstop bashing straight white conservative minded folks. 0.94
00:00:17.240 If you make fun of them enough in a gross exaggeration, you begin to belittle and dehumanize them for others to see as an example.
00:00:24.920 In fact, Saul Alinsky, the Jewish communist activist who despised healthy, normal white people and who pushed the lies of social justice, mentioned this concept of mocking the enemy.
00:00:36.320 Rule number five, ridicule is man's most potent weapon.
00:00:40.220 Well, now that the left has run out of jokes and has become the joke, they're complaining about laughter being the new symbol of the far right and how people like Trump are using humor and jokes to normalize behavior they don't like.
00:00:53.440 Now that the tables have turned, laughing, joking and memes is an extremist problem, but never when they do it or did it.
00:01:01.420 Turn on literally any program and you will encounter the normalization of white people bashing and hating.
00:01:07.620 Despite this, Politico, whining about Trump laughing, says it's a sign of his autocratic tendencies because only monarchies and dictators mock society.
00:01:18.240 No one in Hollywood ever does that.
00:01:20.980 Michael Cruz of Politico went to a Trump rally and he said this.
00:01:24.820 For me, there's one sound that's come to stick out more than any of the many others.
00:01:30.200 It's the laughter.
00:01:32.800 Trump's stubborn and undeniable appeal and humors always played a part from repeated ridicule of his rivals, the resulting laughter a consistent and key piece of their cadence and pull.
00:01:44.740 And he doesn't like it.
00:01:46.840 They don't like it because it works.
00:01:48.660 Because when you mock the enemy publicly, with many listening, as they know, you normalize it.
00:01:54.280 You take power away from your enemy when you ridicule them and people laugh at it.
00:01:59.060 The left fears sarcasm and humor at their expense.
00:02:02.840 And people like us making others laugh at them.
00:02:05.600 It's why content of this sort was some of the first to be banned on YouTube.
00:02:08.940 They don't want us belittling and making fun of their serious bullshit.
00:02:13.580 If you make fun of them, it's a dehumanizing hate crime, but not when they do it to us.
00:02:18.420 All throughout time, laughter has been a strength, a relief, healing.
00:02:23.020 And when laughing at the enemy, it is a weapon.
00:02:25.720 People want to laugh and they want to laugh at the current order that is so entirely insane and upside down.
00:02:31.180 Laughter is going to be a weapon because you laugh at something to diminish it and as preparation for casting it down or destroying it.
00:02:40.460 This was said by Alexander Ross, the author of Against the Fascist Creep.
00:02:45.660 You got that right.
00:02:46.740 Some things need to be cast down and destroyed.
00:02:49.600 We'll continue to laugh at their lies and hysteria as it crumbles.
00:02:53.960 I'm not surprised.
00:02:55.100 They've outlawed hate, the human emotion.
00:02:57.100 So, of course, next would be joy or let's say happiness, right?
00:03:00.120 It's not a big stretch, but what's interesting about this, and you kind of alluded to this here,
00:03:03.660 that some leftist cringe depiction of what some fascist dictator would do in some dystopian future movie was to ban joy or like, no laughing at all.
00:03:14.840 It's them now.
00:03:15.800 It's literally what they're doing and engaging it.
00:03:18.100 Well, that in itself is actually kind of hilarious, but it's true that it is very effective.
00:03:25.000 They know this, and you can get away a lot more with jokes, and now they just can't tolerate that.
00:03:31.560 They'll put you in jail for laughing at them.
00:03:34.220 Essentially.
00:03:34.820 I mean, it's like these people, you're belittling, right?
00:03:37.680 Even, you know, the way that people have, like, laughed about what happened in World War II or, you know, any of these kinds of things.
00:03:43.860 It's very effective, right?
00:03:46.620 Because it kind of takes away the tension kind of around those items and stuff like that.
00:03:51.640 So, it's actually very liberating, to use that term.
00:03:54.740 In the true sense.
00:03:55.680 Yeah, liberating, too.
00:03:56.860 Just to laugh at it and just say, I just don't care anymore.
00:04:00.200 And so, yeah, I would not be surprised if the next move here is to, after imprisonment, you have forced medication, maybe,
00:04:07.860 or some kind of technology to force people out of, like, joy, laughter, and happiness.
00:04:11.940 We'll see what's next.
00:04:14.340 Every ism except Nazism was founded and or led disproportionately by Jews. 0.61
00:04:21.760 You name it.
00:04:23.340 Marxism, humanism, socialism, environmentalism, feminism.
00:04:29.060 Jews.
00:04:29.940 It's the Jews. 1.00
