As a Dutch citizen our #dumb #jokes always had the #belgians as subject. This is a cultural mishap here in the Netherlands. I noticed that each country has it's own 'target' for these jokes. This is my attempt to set the record straight. Clearly the #americans are dumber. All our jokes should be about them. I have opened a petition to spread awareness. openpetition.eu/nl/petition/on

openPetitionAll the dumb jokes should be altered to use Americans as subject - Online petitionIn the Netherlands we have a lot of dumb jokes and they are always about the Belgians. Why we have them is still a question for me. Since Donald Trump took office we can clearly see that the Americans are more stupid. I emplore the good people of Europe to alter all our jokes that are about stupidity to be changes so that we can reflect the current reality.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "You're in here a lot. Are you an alcoholic?"

The horse thinks for a moment, then responds, "I don't think I am."

And POOF! He disappears.

This is where #philosophy students start to snicker, because they're familiar with Descartes' postulate, "I think, therefore I am."

But telling you that first would've been putting Descarte before the horse.

I'm sure someone has written about #humor in #fascism before--i.e., about how there is none. This stood out to me and others as soon as Trump and his many, many lackeys appeared on the political scene in 2014 or so. The trolls and their perennial "can't you take a joke?" seemed to highlight that none of them could take or even make jokes.

The fascists try to make jokes from time to time, but they are either (a) very, very stupid and bad or (b) "ha ha you got hurt."

The closest anyone on the far right has been to jokes was the comedian at the RNC last summer. His jokes at least followed the structure, at least had the form of jokes. Their humor was ruined by the fact that they all punched down at suffering, vulnerable people, unfortunately.

I think real humor involves vulnerability. Fascism requires constant displays of dominance. Admitting any kind of weakness threatens it deeply, so fascists can't tell #jokes 🤷

I was in a job interview. The manager handed me his laptop and said, "I want you to try and sell this to me."
I put it under my arm, left the building, went home. Eventually he called my mobile and said, "Bring it back here right now!"
I said, "$100 and it's yours." #jokes
