      Lol yeah remember The Waldo Moment from Black Mirror I remember critics panning the episode saying "The Waldo character isn't even funny, like at all" THAT WAS THE POINT YOU DUNCE IT'S NEVER ACTUALLY FUNNYhttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1338136633518931968?s=19 …

      The whole "authoritarian or clown" debate seems misguided since Adorno long ago explained to us very clearly that clowning is an essential feature of authoritarianism. Authoritarians use clowning to discredit democracy. pic.twitter.com/JVhuYpUncb

      People who haven't been bullied recently often don't seem to get this Bullies aren't actually comedians What they do may superficially look like telling jokes but they're not actually funny They're supposed to be unfunny

      Bullying is an expression of power, and how you show you have power over someone is you mock them and you do it in a really lazy and shitty way and people laugh anyway *because the actual joke isn't what they said, it's you* The joke is just the fact of you being bullied

      Trump has never actually told a joke that was genuinely funny, because that takes effort, and the actual joke is his effortlessness and thoughtlessness His little quips are the verbal equivalent of farting loudly at you or dropping his pants and sticking his dick in your face

      The whole game of trolling is the ratio, the delight of causing other people to spend more effort on you than you did on them It's why the game of schoolyard bullying is just to find one button that pisses off the target and to keep hitting it again and again

      That's all it is The troll is not genuinely trying to make points, or to win arguments, or to actually make insightful or entertaining jokes It's just to gain pleasure from seeing how much they can force you to put up with

          Which is why sometimes simply dismissing them as "boring" tends to upset some of them *so very much*.

          Which is probably why they see getting blocked as such a victory. They don't see it as "Screw it, I don't need to listen to this." They see it as "LOL I got to them so bad they don't want to agree that I'm right" or some nonsense.
