As the Kremlin ramps up repression of dissent in Russia in the name of “traditional values,” the fascist ideologue of the “Russian world” and bereaved parent Alexander Dugin demanded a ban on comedians in a bizarre Telegram post on Jan. 22.
“This is nonsense,” Dugin wrote.
“We are being entertained by pathologically stupid people who are completely devoid of a sense of humor. It’s like an ongoing ‘dinner with an idiot’… It’s embarrassing and disgusting to watch and listen to.”
Humor, therefore, “must be stopped.”
Dugin decided to substantiate his position by pointing to the fact that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was once a comedian.
Moreover, according to Dugin, comedians are essentially agents of the “Devil” himself, whom he described as the “patron saint of jesters” and the “head of the humorists’ guild.”.
“In the Middle Ages, actors were considered ‘servants of the devil’,” Dugin asserted.
“Apparently, there was some reason for this. Moreover, medieval thespians — unlike the noble ancient Greeks who valued the high spirit of myth and tragedy in the theater — usually resorted to lowly genres. They would make a face, laugh at the noble class, throw a tirade on stage, make obscene gestures, and the commoners would laugh. They were opening a crack into hell.”
By vilifying comedy and comedians in such a bizarre way, Dugin may have been identifying new targets for escalating crackdowns against segments of Russian society deemed insufficiently loyal to the authoritarian state.
How ironic that Dugin wants to ban humour, in a country run by clowns.
Here is more proof the Moskali elite want to keep Moskovia in the Middle Ages. I guess this is what happens when you mix paranoia with Potemkin culture?
Any normal country where the cities have no electricity, heat or water because of the authorities, would see mass protests. The moskali just accept it, and will go to vote for putler because he made russia great again.
I saw a meme the other day, they are still blaming Trump for “stealing” their pensions. Moskali propaganda……..
Dugin is a self-confessed Nazi. Although he prefers the term “national Bolshevik.”
“In his 1997 book Foundations of Geopolitics, he wrote that “Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness.”
He is a diabolical genocidal satanist.
Btw Dugin is a frequent guest on the show of another diabolical bastard : Alex Jones. (Infowars).
The corrupt authoritarian regime can’t bear to be laughed at. When Wallace went to Moscow before the start of the war, Gerasimov’s words to him were “nobody will laugh at us again” referring to the collapse of the Soviet Union. After which Wallace regularly referred to Shoigu and Gerasimov as Laurel and Hardy. We don’t know which one was which. The world continues to laugh at Russia. And Gerasimov is probably dead. And we cant stop laughing at him.
I guess it makes sense, seeing that mafia land has nothing to laugh about anyway, after seeing its army perform so terribly bad and how so many roaches are freezing.
Reminds me of what my wife’s school teachers said to her when Ukraine was still in the USSR. “Life is too serious to be laughing”
😂🤡
