time and time again people are confused that the content they see is directly related to the people they follow and that they’re absolutely lost navigating the internet without an algorithm force feeding them lowest common denominator dreck
The right doesn't really have humour or comedy they just signal their beliefs in the form of jokes and anyone who bites by laughing gets a rush of "I'm among my peers and feel powerful" and that's what they think humour is
Idk, it feels pretty dehumanising to declare entire swathes of the population incapable of humour. Of course the right has comedy. Some of it is really shitty, yep. There are probably different trends in how people in different political groups relate to it. But comedy and humour are universal.
depends what you mean by "right." There are people who are/were conservatives that have been blisteringly funny. James Lileks, for one. (although his actually funny shit is not political imo)
Fascists, like all ideologues and autocrats, don't have a sense of humor.
2) Humor depends on more than sadism, whatever Henri Bergson thinks. A sense of the absurd. Play. Imagination. Surprise. Puncturing authority. All things that are anathema to fascism. Fascism can't withstand mockery; it depends on grandiosity, shock and awe, black and white rigidity.
