people make fun of tragedies all the time. To act like we don’t shows how sheltered you are. You must hang around hyper sensitive people if you think this is out of the norm
You are missunderstanding me. I'm not saying that we shouldn't laugh about tragedies (if you are part of the community who tanked the tragedy, its perfectly legitimate to exorcize the pain), what I'm saying is that laughing about the tragedy about people who are still under oppressions, like Jews or muslim for example, is easy and simply bad humor when done in with inequivalency and other type of humor or done by illegitimate people.
What is truly groundbreaking on the other hand, is to laugh about those who create those tragedies in the first place or those who participate in those oppression. In short, those who have the power.
But yeah, if you want to talk about random stuff, have fun. Just know that once you start talking about a political subject, it becomes a political act.
Dark humor is also a coping mechanism for some people
Indeed, and dark humor when done right takes the times to adress the structures of dominations and/or denounces a situation. Dark humor when done well is also political.
Laughing about jokes has nothing to do with any of what you are saying here.
This is either dishonest or retarded as fuck. Or both i guess.
Sure.
If we can laugh about everything, there is no reason why we can't laugh about those subjects. Unless you are saying that you have a limit ?
A lot of soldiers and vets have very dark senses of humor.
Those poor vets.. forced to go to war...
