Some seem to have had their sense of humor surgically removed. Lots of words though.
Suppose our humor center had been chirurgically removed but our brain works anyway....😊
And suppose a social context in ebullition which makes an opposition possible between 2 groups and suppose the alleged " joke" can go in 2 direction:
A) " i dont want gear coming from fascist home"
or
B) "i dont want gear coming from communist home"...
now because your brain work and not removed the "joke" choice A or B express more a political choice aiming at a group, a watchword, than a joke...What René Girard explained well as a designed victim scapegoating group CHOSEN .
Like the joke Goebbels was doing against communists in germany or the joke of Stalin against Nazis...
They can express humor only in a political context where others are of the same political ilk ...out of this context they are watchword or fuel throwed on a fire ...
Now the good news is that the doctor had replaced my humor sense today... You were right it has been removed ... 😁
I dont think this is a good joke in the time being ... It was a joke yes but a bad one...
My humor sense being chirurgically had been replaced now i concur with you : it was just a joke...You are right!...
A very bad one though sorry...
In the meantime search about the unknown Mandeville, a true genius creator of the social-economic modern manual ...You will learn something about communism and fascism techno-cults common roots and their continuation today in propaganda by big corporations ...😊
My humor center is replaced but it is a bad news dont work well continuously ... 😁 it is why there is too much words...
But René Girard and Mandeville are real geniuses we must read together...Thank me later if your working brain has not been removed ... 😉
