That's a good question. I'll have to think about it more. What came to mind are compassionate jokes made in comedian Jonny Harris' tv show

Jonny Harris visits small towns, then makes a stand-up comedy show. I'll tell you a joke from one, but it may not be funny out of context.

He went to Fort McMurray in Northern Alberta shortly after significant parts of town were burned down by a giant wildfire, and people died.

Here's one of the things he said in his set "I said there was something funny about that though..." 1/2

"...like there was this 600 000 hectare wildfire, doesn't want to deal with a Fort Mac winter, right?" 2/2

I think I get it, but I don't think this is what I was asking for. I don't want compassionate humor, but humor attacking idea of compassion

There is a weird sense in which compassion has become the governing virtue of the Left but has been bureaucratized into invisibility

Like, there is a sense of humor that comes through in (say) Buddhist teachings or Gandhi's writings that's missing in SJW discourses for eg
I think that came from compassion being a "do" instead of a "be" thing. I think we'll rediscover it if we can make fun of it

The modern Left has in a sense ceremonialized compassion and killed it in the process. Compassion is performed rather than felt.
