Reminder: Humor, any humor, is subversive. Fascists have multiple characteristics, but one of the most pronounced is that they have no sense of humor.
Look. Make jokes about them, sure, that's great -- if risky.
But ya know what? Make jokes about *anything*. Make jokes.
Humorless fascist ass-clowns never laugh unless they're hurting people. Make jokes, make jokes that don't hurt people. Make laughter. There is nothing fascists hate more than laughter.

@stargazersmith @GeePawHill Meanwhile I gather that if you vilify nazis, they'll think that looks cool & imitate your villains!
Taking them seriously backfires!

Understand me here. These people are far too broken, sad, and most importantly, brittle, to have any grasp of any sort of humor.
GeePawHill
Laughter will not break them. I am not saying that.
But laughter, hear me, laughter of any kind, omg laughter at them, baby this is resistance.

I've read that Mel Brooks had that insight too, laugh at them. It's why he often made fun of Nazis in his movies, like the Springtime for Hitler sequence in The Producers.

*All* humor. I am not kidding here. Fart jokes, traveling salesman jokes, x walks in to a bar jokes, *ALL* jokes are, in fact, resistance.
A bear walks in to a bar, and the bartender says, "whatcha drinkin'?" and the bear says, "a Budweiser . . . . . . . and a whiskey sidecar".
Bartender says, "Hey, fella, why the big pause?"
GeePawHill
How, you will ask me, you should ask me, is this silly old joke *resistance*.
Baby, these people are a) brittle as fuck, and b) thirsty for offense.
They have *zero* sense of humor.
Anything they don't think is funny, they want to shoot.
That is why making jokes is resistance.
(There is *more* one can do for resistance, I'm just offering one mode.)

The thing every fascist hates, before and below and above and after, is just this: laughter.
They are not well people, and laughter, *any* laugher, about *anything*, it makes them very tense, cuz they don't know what's funny and they suspect it's themselves.

Guy goes to a bar and says his dog can speak. Bartender *very* suspicious. Guy says, "What's over our head?", dog says "Roof!". Guy says, "What would call sandpaper?", dog says "Ruff!". Guy says, "Who's the most famous baseball player?", dog says "Rooth".
Bartender kicks them out.
Now they're on the curb.
Dog looks to the guy, he says, "Idunno, maybe I shoulda said DiMaggio?"
