Why can't they develop the laugh gun?
It's hard to have a war or riot or fight when people are laughing. Shift the paradigm, people!

Whatever.
You go to your room too.
Did I say *just* riots? Hmmmmm, let's read my post again. It said, "war or riots or fights"
And no more soup for you, either! One year!

No soup? I don't want your steenkin' soup
on a more serious note, it's about control. It looks like a very handy way to control people, esp. people who are attempting to associate in a way not liked by the people in charge of those things.

Because if people are gathered to protest the God-Emperor...
...then turning their protests into laughter is liable to be rather ineffective: They might easily get it into their heads to direct their laughter *at him*.

Not that I remember it (read it around 30 years ago) but the spice leads me to believe.
