Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, “A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.”
One of the first government actions in Nazi Germany was the establishment of a law against treacherous attacks on the state and party that made anti-Nazi humor an act of treason, and there was a reason for this. Research has shown that humor is the most effective means of preventing the indoctrination of brainwashing.

Used as both a shield and a weapon, humor has the power to soothe the most wounded and threaten the most evil.
