Meanwhile in China, the viral White House prayer scene has turned into a full-blown social media trend. Bosses at small businesses and factories are rounding up their employees to make fun of the stunt—forming a circle, placing hands on shoulders or heads, and praying in a humorous way for “better sales, higher incomes for every worker and the whole company.”
Videos of these “prayer circles” are blowing up on Douyin and Weibo. Not sure how much divine favor the White House actually summoned, but these Chinese bosses? They straight-up turned the Oval Office prayer stunt into free global marketing gold🤣
こういう正気のユーモアがあれば、カルトみたいな堕落したユーモアは生まれない。 ユーモアは社会の硬直をほぐす潤滑油のようなものだ。 昔の日本にも「もどき」と呼ばれるユーモアがあり、その代表例が狂言『附子(ぶす)』である。物語では、欲深い主人が水飴を独り占めし、召使には「毒だから食べるな」と言い張る。しかし中身は何の害もない水飴で、召使たちは誘惑に負けてついに手を出す。その過程で、桶を倒し、道具を落とし、掛け軸を引き裂くなど、次々に家中をめちゃくちゃにしてしまう。観客はその滑稽な光景に笑い転げるが、笑いの対象は召使ではない。彼らこそ主人の利己心や欲深さを映す鏡像であり、愚かで浅ましい振る舞いを観客に体感させる。欲得を正面から否定するのではなく、そのありさまを映し出すことで、社会や人間の硬直に柔軟な目線をもたらす。こうした笑いが、秩序に潤滑性を与えるのが「もどき」としてのユーモアの力なのである。

Thank you for the explanation because while Google translate does the job it’s intended to, it doesn’t help with context. I was confused at first because I thought religion was frowned upon (to put it politely) in China. (I frown upon it, too, but I’m not a proponent of how it often gets handled over there, either.)
Yeah, the latter half of my life as an American has been frustrating AF because I’m finally at the point where I get what’s actually going on, and it’s just been an ever-deepening pile of shit that frustrates & embarrasses TF out of me.
Religion is frowned upon? I guess too bad for the dozens temples at every corner (+ the churches, mosques, and synagogues)
Religion is definitely not “frowned upon” in China. What is frowned upon is public proselytizing and what gets really frowned upon is the constant attempts by the west to set up “churches” (cults) whose job is to be recruitment centers for color revolution and, when they inevitably fail, an object of constant propaganda how “China prosecutes religious institutions”.
