What the fuck is wrong with you? Body shaming. Disability shaming. Shame on you.
 
It's not easy to be funny when you're uptight and the Right is nothing if not that, uptight with grievance, with anger, with envy. How can a Red Stater feel good about himself when his state is a leader in, well, obesity while all the states that lead in education, in life expectancy, in productivity are Blue states? And to top it off your state has to depend on Blue state federal tax revenues to stay aloat. Not surprising then that entertainers enjoying themselves with political comedy are almost all on the Left, e.g., Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, Stephen Colbert, the late great George Carlin, Sara Silverman, the list goes on...Kate McKinnon, Amy Schumer, Chris Rock.... No wonder the Right's lone warrior, Dennis Miller, is pissed off all the time.

Dennis Miller used to be great. I have no idea why he became bitter and angry.

It's not true that the Right has no humor. The problem is their "humor" is hateful and bitter such as telling jokes about black people or women. Attacking anyone with whom they disagree. Attacking homosexuals or anyone who doesn't fit the RW ideal of how people should live, think and believe. They are rarely, if ever, self-deprecating.

As comedians who have gone on world tours find out, different cultures have different standards of humor and find different things funny. The Germans used to love toilet jokes. Very Freudian.


People vary based upon upbringing and life experience. As for me, I'd find it extremely funny if the militias became violent tomorrow and SWAT snipers shot their leaders dead. :laugh:

Laughing at Different Jokes: Humor Across Cultures
Cultural differences in humor perception and usage.
KEY POINTS
  • There is a notable cultural difference in humor perception and usage between the East and the West.
  • Canadians regard ordinary people as humorous whereas Chinese individuals tend to consider humor to be a talent belonging to experts.
  • People in Western countries use humor for coping with stress and difficulties in their life.
  • Research has indicated that individuals residing in the East use more adaptive humor and those in the West use more maladaptive humor.
This difference in humor perception has an impact on humor usage across cultures. To be specific, people residing in Western countries use humor for coping with stress and difficulties in their life. However, on the other hand, it is less likely that Easterners will use humor as a coping strategy. Various studies found that Japanese, Chinese, and Singaporean students were less likely to use humor as a coping device as compared to their Western counterparts. Surveys on American and Chinese students have indicated that Americans along with Canadians are found to be more funny, as compared to the Chinese. As stated by Judge John C. H. Wu, “whereas Westerners are seriously humorous, Chinese people are humorously serious.”

Humor is a universal phenomenon but is also culturally tinted. In this article, we reviewed the existing research that investigates how culture impacts individuals’ humor perception and usage as well as humor’s implications for psychological well-being. Previous research has substantiated evidence that Easterners do not hold as positive an attitude toward humor as their Western counterparts do. This perception makes Easterners less likely to use humor as a coping strategy in comparison with Westerners. Despite this difference, Westerners and Easterners have similar patterns in the relationship between their humor and psychological well-being index, though the strength of the relationship varies across cultures. Implications and potential future research avenues discussed....

...Cultural Differences in Humor Perception
Since the era of Ancient Greece, it has been a long tradition among Westerners to embrace humor (Grant, 1924/1970; Martin and Ford, 2018). Westerners have associated humor with positivity and seen humor as natural amusement expressions (Apte, 1985). In the late nineteenth century, Freud (1928) regarded humor as a defense mechanism against obstacles and distress. In the perspective of Psychoanalysis, humor was regarded not only as a way to help people release fear and anxiety, but it also provides an amusing, funny, and less scaring perspective toward people’s inner fear (Martin and Ford, 2018). In the twentieth century, psychologists in Western world began to talk about the positive effects of humor. For example, humor is regarded as a desirable positive trait of an individual (Allport, 1937; Maslow, 1968; Mintz, 1983; Mindess et al., 1985). Humorous people are thought to be more attractive (e.g., Regan and Joshi, 2003; Fraley and Aron, 2004) and more motivating, creative, and capable (e.g., Sternberg, 1985; Priest and Swain, 2002). Humor also takes on meaning as an essential element of psychological health associated with self-awareness, well-adjustment, and affability (Allport, 1961; Martin and Ford, 2018).

In sharp contrast, Easterners’ attitudes toward humor are not that positive. Specifically, in China, Confucianism has devalued humor. Chinese self-actualization denigrates humor while stressing restriction and seriousness (Bond, 1996; Liao, 1998, 2007; Yue, 2010). Chinese are reluctant to admit they are humorous out of fear of jeopardizing their social status. Chinese do not think that humor is a desirable personality trait (Rudowicz and Yue, 2002; Yue, 2011).

One of the central problems in why this is true, is that the Left's dogma and politics are built on a combination of lies, fantasy, and emotion based desires.

Elon Musk has Asperger's which is high-functioning autism.

Elon Musk opened up on Thursday about his experience growing up with Asperger's syndrome, or autism spectrum disorder.

Why it matters: Most adults with "invisible disabilities" such as Asperger’s conceal them professionally to avoid stigmas and potential discrimination, research has found.

As the founder of numerous companies, "acknowledging the influence of Asperger's ... given the relatively few known examples of successful entrepreneurs and business leaders with Asperger’s, Musk's [sharing] may inspire the next generation of young adults with Asperger’s," Amy E. Hurley-Hanson and Cristina M. Giannantonio, workplace neurodiversity researchers and management professors at Chapman University's Argyros School of Business, tell Axios.
Growing up, “the social cues were not intuitive,” Musk said when asked about it on stage at the TED2022 conference in Vancouver, Canada.

“I would just tend to take things very literally … but then that turned out to be wrong — [people were not] simply saying exactly what they mean, there's all sorts of other things that are meant, and [it] took me a while to figure that out,” he recalled.
Flashback: Musk widely revealed having Asperger’s last year when he hosted “Saturday Night Live.”

In his opening monologue, Musk said: "To anyone who I’ve offended [with my Twitter posts], I just want to say I reinvented electric cars, and I'm sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?"
When asked about a potential link between his companies and Asperger’s, Musk said it’s “certainly possible” that it was valuable from a technology standpoint.

“I found it rewarding to spend all night programming computers, just by myself. … But I think that is not normal.”
He said he also became “obsessed” with physics and trying to figure out the meaning of life.
“My driving philosophy is to expand the scope and scale of consciousness so that we may better understand the nature of the universe.”
The big picture: Asperger's and other similar disorders that were previously diagnosed separately are now part of a wide diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Roughly 1.5 million people with ASD are expected to reach adulthood in the next decade and poised to enter the workplace in unprecedented numbers, Hurley-Hanson and Giannantonio say.

I agree with Musk that the Republican Party is a bigger joke than the fucking Democrats. LOL

From your second link: "The Babylon Bee, which first posted its interview with Musk exclusively on Twitter, is another site that has been criticized for using humor to confront leftist narratives on politics, culture and religion. Notably, the account was reinstated by Musk after he completed his takeover of Twitter.

The satire site was kicked off Twitter for eight months after it jokingly awarded its "Man of the Year" award for 2022 to Dr. Rachel Levine, who identifies as a transgender female.

"We're back. Let that sink in," The Bee wrote, a reference to Musk hauling a sink into Twitter headquarters after he took over the site. "

Musk doesn't like jokes about him. :)

California, which has the lowest high school graduation rating, is considered a 'blue state'. It is not a State at all, of course. It effectively left the Union when it became a dictatorship.

Let's just look at this idiocy of a statement:

Rank Name per capita welfare expenditure
1 Alaska 3,707
2 Massachusetts 3,642
3 New York 3,449
4 New Mexico 3,432
5 Vermont 3,040
6 Oregon 3,033
7 Kentucky 2,931
8 Rhode Island 2,915
9 California 2,914

And they're not funny (other than George Carlin was when he was attacking liberals).

Comedy isn't a list of comedians, whether they are successful or not.

Just like everything you twits like to 'prove' with: You try to make comedy a certification or 'official'.

Regarding just the idiocy of your “idiocy of this statement”, the list is of in state expenditures. Yes, Blue states take care of their poor better than Red states do theirs. What else is new? The rest of your reply collapses on its own.
