The use of parody against authoritarian leaders is nothing new. Among my favorite models is Serbian activist Srdja PopovicrCOs book rCLBlueprint for Revolution.rCY Recounting his own experiences with the student movement
that, in the 1990s, resisted then-dictator Slobodan Milosevic, Popovic explains how jokes about ruling elites can make them look less
invincible, while also puncturing widespread fear. And better yet,
leaders who try to suppress such humor tend to look ridiculous. For
example, Serbian police-aarrested (so to speak) a barrel-awith MilosevicrCOs face painted on it after Popovic and his fellow activists encouraged
citizens to line up and hit it with a bat.
Unfortunately, our field of vision remains narrow indeed and, like the
road I stood on that day last November, it contains a disproportionate
number of angry white men. And no less unfortunately, werCOre speeding
down it quickly with a maniac in the driverrCOs seat,-aand it lacks the guardrails of a law-abiding Supreme Court and a constitutionally aware secretary of defense.
