Part 13/15:
Humor and Irony: The Comedy of Our Time
The entire conversation is infused with biting humor, satire, and irony. Dillon jokes about everything from "fake" news, conspiracy theories, political scandals, to absurd restrictions like banning singing during COVID, or the possibility of returning to dueling as a form of resolving disputes—highlighting how far the country has drifted from rational discourse.
He makes light of the spectacle of election night, mockingly suggesting that the chaos is deliberate, or that leaders like Joe Biden and Donald Trump are merely acting out parts in a grand theatrical play. Dillon’s humor underscores the tragedy of societal disillusionment, emphasizing that the real battle is not just political but psychological and cultural.
