Let's talk about the use of humor as a tool for advancing fascism.
We will start with laughter. Laughter is believed to be an "all clear" signal after a perceived threat was discovered to be a false alarm, or having been dealt with. It signals to others that a threat has passed. When a tension that affected the group has been lifted.
Comedy is the buildup and release of tension. And when you consider that mechanic, you understand the nature jokes and edge humor plays in alt right creep.
When someone says a vaguely racist joke in a group setting, what is the tension to be resolved?
A good part of it is that it's a known social taboo. One that many would object to. And the resolution of that tension is that there is no one in that group who does object.

That is why you see "humor" being tossed about by that. It is an effective tool to acclimatize your surroundings. And that build up and release of tension further cements bonds between that group.
You see such volatile reactions when you challenge jokes as you keep the tension.
