FFS 2012: The POWER of LAUGHTER
The importance of humour when discussing serious issues.
Regular viewers of FFS videos on-line have been asking why we take the piss so much. Some people love it, others ask to maintain a proper respect for the subject matter in hand. The subjects in hand being Conspiracy Theory, Aliens, Nibirru, Nazis and Lizard People.
Here at the FFS, we believe in the power of laughter. It has long been argued what separates humankind from the animals; some say it’s the use of cutlery, others that’s it is our ability to reason. I propose that it is laughter; not in and of itself, since other animals display laughter. I mean we uniquely posses the power of laughter; the ability to mock that which is in fact deadly serious.
The British people mocked Hitler. He bombed us, and we mocked him. We mocked him in songs and jokes and cartoons and stand-up routines. Hitler bombed London worse than London has ever been bombed, and we laughed at his stupid little moustache, his comb over, his little beady eyes and his limp salute. We didn’t flatter some upstart short arse fascist with po-faced reverence, no, we dissed him without mercy.
Nazis are very serious people, and they hate being laughed at. Mocking them is an essential part of resistance to oppression. If you cannot laugh at Them, They have power over you. Laughter releases you from The Fear. Whatever is happening, whatever is being done to you, whoever is doing it, you have the power to laugh. It is the one weapon no-one can remove by force; use it, particularly when it is the only weapon that you have.
When it comes to Lizard People and Nibirru, we laugh so that people won’t think we’re insane.
