Humor is the tool of the modern facist.

They present their intentions always with a thin layer of irony. Until the moment is right for them to be address plainly. This way we’re all too busy laughing at them, or assuming they are unserious, to notice that their trap has slammed shut over us.

This is why I have increasingly stopped joking about politics. We no longer have the time to make our intentions as leftists ambiguous. We must state them clearly and unwaveringly.

In our time, swastikas have been replaced, with symbols like Pepe the frog, and Doge. The right has for a long time now, spoken a language of its own, subverting its intentions so much so the American people sat by while the Nazis we’re so proud of defeating took the highest public offices in our country. And as they stand on stage now after achieving their ends, we see them, literally, saluting that bloated, disease ridden, mongrel dog Adolf Hitler. And we know, finally, that our cages have been closed and locked tight.

I believe humor is the weapon of the enemy, we should not use it, we do not need it.

By all means keep your hearts light. Smile, whistle, sing songs, and celebrate all that you can. Joy in the face of all we’re fighting against is a beautiful act of resistance in itself.

But I implore you, if you joke, do not joke about politics. Tell them, everyone, your intentions with sobering clarity.

We will bring down the capitalist, imperialist system by ANY means necessary.
