stand up comedy is about making fun of poor people and the reason the concept is dead was because they tried to make it about making fun of normal people
and or rich people
and thats just not fun no matter how communist you are. fun is about making fun of poor and stupid people and you can't just redirect it, poor and stupid is a necessary condition
(because it provides catharsis for the mental discomfort of having to operate around people you feel pity for, but is powerless to help. golden age stand up era was psychological catharsis for the flaws of the liberal system to account for this aspect of human sentience)
(making fun of the deviant and insane is processing the grief their existance impacts on you)
(the very idea of "punching up"(tm) is a total contradiction, and completely impossible)
(in formally attempting to redict cruelty, what this move actually does is to kill charity and compassion - it rejects charity and compassion as being genuine, it rejects the entire framework of christian charity as false conciousness covering for base sadism)
(and turns humanity into a mechanical, base thing, a spreadsheet and a mathematical formula, with no complexity and no recognition of the inner contradictions of human psychology)
(being compassionate *hurts* and is not a pleasant feeling, and it cannot be directed towards progressive social ends, because it is in conflict with the progressive moral imperative to disdain the rich and better-off-than-you)
(the only way to be able to make fun of them, would mean finding some way to *pity* them, which is in total contradiction with the entirety of the rest of the progressive mindset)
