Grief tragedy sympathy hope

Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.

People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.

the tragedy

Meaning 9/11, it was created by jschlatt often to refer to 9/11 without directly mentioning it - either to make it funny or to avoid demonetization.

Schlatt Submitter: I made a cake of the Twin Towers!
Schlatt: Stop submitting the tragedy!

Grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip

News stories that get more and more desperate until people submit into doing anything the media/government/healthcare industry/scientists want them to do.

Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.

Tragedy + Time = Comedy

An internet equation. It expresses how tragedy will always be funny after time passes.

Dude! 9/11 is fucking hilarious!

Hey, 3,000 people died that day.

Well you know, Tragedy + Time = Comedy.
