Eric Andre, Connor O'Malley, Gmod videos, Tim and Eric Show, etc. all things that tickle my brain. I can't help but think there's a relationship between enjoying crazy ass content and having a clear understanding of the insane capitalist system I live in.

    Idk, I feel like it is more linked to an appreciation of metaphor overall. Sometimes you will notice that conservatives will interpret everything in a strictly literal sense (in addition to being wrong).

    When we get into a discussion where we are trying to define 'humor', we get into trouble because it means so many things to so many different types of people.... But there's something uniquely pathetic about the conservative mind, especially in the way that it tries to process humor -- or more precisely what it thinks other people think humor is.

    If anything i feel like my sense of humor has "narrowed" since I went from apolitical shitlib -> communist -- probably because I'm super cynical and angry all the time now lol. It's easier to not self-harm when you understand the sources of injustice in the world, but IMO, at the same time, it becomes harder to enjoy things
