Yeah! That's what I was thinking, Lisa! Right on! 👏👍 (If that's not too much of a pun. 🙂) Adolf Hitler and his like certainly had very little sense of humour. And I think that for the analytical, observational kind of humour that the more intelligent kind of comedians do, you have to have a great level of self-awareness, other-awareness, and, well, yes, SOCIAL awareness. Which conservatives and those further right really do not tend to have.

Yes. I have commented similarly on a different thread above! 🙂👍 Intelligent comedy, rather than just slapstick or racist jokes, requires self-awareness, social awareness and a willingness to ANALYSE things: which means to pick things apart, to break them down, hopefully so that you can build them up again. 🙂👍 (I'm a Lokean, so I should know! 😄)

@lisastickytuna8668 Exactly, Lisa!👏👍 You and I (and Mick Lynch) obviously think alike!'👍

@nancyjackson3909 Well: it's true that extremism can take away from people's sense of humour. 😏 How do you know what I am in most of my daily life? I'd say I was fae more conservationist than Conservative: certainly with a large C!.🙂 I'm a neopagan and a folkie, so I tend to like old things. This makes me unlike any Conservative since Maggie T. They all would sell their own grandmothers: and tear up the whole of the UK and huild expensive tiny apartments all over it for a quick profit: lots of Air B & B lets and no social housing. 👎 #ToriesOut

Yeah. They do in the States: the Christian Right especially, that's the thing!

@markjohn4802 "Fact that no one in the public sector is a tax payer." 😤 Your email's all corrupted, Mark! Clowns have hacked it. 🤡🤡🤡 Don't you mean that BIG GLOBAL BUSINESSES always avoid their taxes? And that Tories bury all their money in tax havens as it says in a book called Treasure Islands. 😏 Other factors cause inflation besides a rise in wages. You ought to listen to Mick Lynch on the subject. Have a YouTube search. 😏 As he says, people's wages haven't risen in at least 10 years: so it CERTAINLY hasn't been wage inflation that has caused the last few years of price inflation. Argue your way around that bit of common sense, Tory!! 😏

@ytpanda398 Yeah: except for some old (dead) ones. Jim Davidson, Bernard Manning... Back when you were still allowed to make racist jokes. 👎

@kiriakoz Can you name some right wing comedians in the US? (Not Radio shock jocks.) I think I can name one: that Ben Stein fellow or whatever his name is? Walks out of interviews pretending to be offended. 😏

@nancyjackson3909 No. Hitler died in 1945. He committed suicide at the end of WWII, when he knew he would have to pay for his crimes.

How about making a new left-wing law: that all dog turds should first of all be placed in bags, then posted through Tories' letterboxes? 😏😄

I didn't see them! I saw one supporting the nurses! 🙂👍
