> hypothetically that could happen except…

The author thinks that laughter, comedy will be used in that case as an oppressive mean of compliance, confusion and blinding, so as to extinguish or constraint moral considerations and humanity feelings.

And that kind of ring a bell when listening to a few friends/family that have been touched by far/alt-right discourse the past few years.

Of course, there will be people to react - but comedy, as any other, is a tool to gather masses of people in one specific direction.

I only think that violent, dictatorial personalities cannot keep self-distancing themselves long enough to stay the comedy posture. They will crack ugly soon enough.
