For about thirty years, the social sciences have been exploring the features of a new society and a new political era. At the beginning of the 21st century, this era was called the metamodern, which influence was growing and transforming the political space: there are comedians politicians, political satire, left-right parties, odious governors of democratic states, fictional characters as candidates in the elections. Possibilities of direct democracy get narrow, so the society chooses other ways of political influence, for example, electing nonclassical political figures and creating new social movements. The society independently creates a political agenda, choosing absurdity as a protest against the obsolete rules of the game, and thereby creates new rules. This is a way to update the political culture, transforming bureaucracy and closing political systems, killing cult of absolute power. Many major politicians have adopted new rules of the game. Thus, satire and absurdity are included in real politics and stimulate global changes.
