Who Are We Laughing To

For me, such a question has been lingering in my mind, more specifically the normative content of the things that makes us laugh. The humour that ignites the flames of joy towards the deserted heart is neither innocent nor neutral. There is no such thing as "universal laughter". Also, laughing can mean the approval of the reactionary way of thinking. Most of the clowns, and bad-faith actors know such a fact that is why slimy pentapod monsters like Andrew Tate and others exist. They appeal to the laugh, the comical imagery, the out-of-the-place exemplum, and by appealing to the "funny man haha" bravado, they gain influence, politically, financially and socially. 

The world then turns into a South Park episode. 

Just ask yourself, what I am laughing to this? And why I am laughing to such content?
