Manifesto on the Poetics of Humor

This manifesto demands that all revolutions include at least three dad jokes and a pun-based constitution. Written by rogue clowns and exiled poets, it claims that laughter is more disarming than tear gas and twice as effective. One witness said they overthrew a city council just by yelling knock-knock jokes in Latin. Historians now consider irony a war crime in three provinces. The manifesto was translated into emojis, mime, and interpretive dance. Its final chapter reads: 'If you're not laughing, you're probably the tyrant.' Critics say it's unserious. Fans say, exactly.
