Right-Wing Discussion Thread VIII: McCarthy Was Right

[Herskerstad]

Carthage did nothing wrong as sacrificing children is a most Noble pursuit.

"Oh wow, I like love your culture. Your custom of sacrificing children is like really beautiful and stuff.

"I hear that it is, like, so good for the pores."

They were African children, so nothing of value was lost.

Do you guys actually find this funny? I realize there is such a thing as "offensive humor," but being edgy in and of itself is not humorous.

Comedy is about pushing the edge.

Funny how certain folk forgot that.

What exactly is "pushing the edge"? If you mean being "avant-garde", there's certainly none of that here.

They have reserves, anyways.

I find it to be hilarious. Humour is subjective after all, what I find funny may very well be unfunny to you.

No, there is bad humor, just like there is bad art and bad morals.

There is no way contrition can coexist with this sort of humor. I even enjoy black humor more than is acceptable for a Christian, so much that it has lead me to sin before, but being edgy just to be edgy isn't funny in and of itself. It's just edgy.

I think you fail to realise that what you find to be bad could be great to another. Perhaps you've heard the quote:

"One man's trash is another man's treasure."

I believe it can be applied to this scenario.

I mean which portion do you object towards? The ancient and absurd rites of sacrificing children, the clearly ironic shallow culture-mongering defence or the African children bit, or all? I'll admit only the latter one of those struck me the wrong way, but I doubt there was anything ill behind it.

Given that humor often works on absurdities, and nothing is more absurd than child sacrifice in any form, it kind of garners the same effect as if someone would say. " Hitler did nothing wrong." It would demand quite the person to say the latter with a straight face after all.

If you're edgy enough you can make anything funny.

Just because you say something is good, doesn't make it good. It just means you enjoy it. You could enjoy heroin, that doesn't make it good, heroin is in fact very bad.

Funny in the sense that people sometimes laugh at cringey things because someone being extremely edgy is embarrassing.

I was going to say Nazism, but "trashy" doesn't convey the enormity of how awful the Nazis were, so I am going to say Reaganites.

Yeah I did not much like that bit either because it has some modern relevance as a touchy subject, but I do think it was just attempting to make it go even more absurd or possibly refer to how little the western world cares about African lives in general comparatively. I agree that it goes a bit beyond where the bantz should be taken, but I don't suspect any foul play either.

Tell a violent enough joke, and it becomes funny.

If your dark humor is devoid of wit, it usually isn't funny. This is a good example of dark humor done well: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Africa#Pro_and_Cons

It's gotta be witty. Comedy devoid of wit is as bad as children's comedy, or the Big Bang Theory.

Nazis are more like if the Devil tried to betatest the anti-christ, it'd be Hitler.

I don't think there was any intent to mock the lack of compassion in the West, I don't think it had anything to do with that.
