I’ve seen a lot of ink spilled recently over the Harris campaign’s recent adoption of the tactic of calling Trump and his cronies “weird”. There’s a lot of hand-wringing over the Democrats ceding the high ground or being unserious about serious matters, but this article, and especially the source material it links to by Sdrja Popovic (a non-violent Serbian revolutionary during the Milošević regime) about the power of humor in non-violent movements, really changed my thinking on this.
I don’t think that the author is suggesting that mockery or laughter should be our only action, just that it should be part of the arsenal
I’m just pointing out the seriousness of the issue in case anyone infers it to be trivial to solve.
