This is something I have been thinking about a lot lately. There's no way our country is going to be able to humanely handle the medical debt crisis that is going to catch up to people.
I don't know man. If kids getting shot in schools wasn't enough to move people's asses, I doubt a bunch of poor white people suddenly going through medical bankruptcy will do anything.
The people being mocked in that thread are the people that are actively contributing to the pandemic and deaths of others by spreading false, dangerous information. These are people that have rejected scientific explanations in favor of feel good bullshit, which then tend to suddenly take it seriously once they're on Death's door taking up an ICU bed. Why wouldn't you mock these people? They are the perfect example of ridiculous behavior causing needless death, a la the Darwin Awards.
I was just stating that I understand the feeling of "wanting to be better". You're not wrong though, and as Capra also stated, we're already doing better in our attempts at looking out for others as is.
But yeah, my empathy is running low as well, no thanks in any small part to own family members demanding I respect "their opinions" while not reciprocating in the least.
Why on earth do you assume that the country that in our lifetimes that passed tort reform rules to fuck us, fucks over 9/11 responders over or passed obamacare in it's current form vs what it could've been really gives a fuck.
It's a design that some are willing to entertain for BS ideals as horrific things are about to play out at a scale never seen.

Mother of 4 whose FB profile said "Unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid."
What an insanely fucking idiotic human being, who has now left 4 kids without a mother.
Had some time to actually check this subreddit out today.
I haven't had a facebook since about 2015 because the sheer amount of bullshit I was seeing on it, even back then. So seeing all the comments from facebook about people on that subreddit - goddamn do they all sound like religious zealots. "Pray for us! Everyone pray, never stop believing in His word!" --and then-- "The ultimate healing! He is with Jesus now!"
It's such a shock seeing this type of stuff when you haven't been exposed to it for over 5 years. It's like when you forget about something way back in the fridge for years and then look at it and its completely covered in mold.

Now they can add "Unresponsive and under the ground" to the list.
Partially right. Undead would mean she's come back from the dead. But if we are just talking about her and other anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers being Right-wing "zombies", you're correct!
"And they rose on the 4th day and asked to speak to the manager and hold a stone tablet of ma freedoms and it was good"
I've been digging through a lot of these today.
Some of the titles are really goddamn snarky/funny: Lawrence didn't wear his seatbelt outdoors like the CDC recommended.

I've become convinced that that seatbelt meme in particular is goddamn Grim Reaper bait.
One of the first threads in there I read had a dude who said that all Chinese people should be lined up and shot. Public status. Full name, face, totally proud.
Why the fuck would I have empathy for someone who literally wants to commit genocide against me, lol.
Were dealing with people that believe in angels but don't believe in a virus rampaging through their own communities.
My favorite is when they post that meme with the little girl saying "we can pay for vaccines but not insulin ?"
As if the people they vote in aren't the reason for that

Yep, they are so close to inadvertently understanding the merits of Universal Health Care.
Not to be undone, a mother of EIGHT has now died after refusing the vaccine because of "[her husband's] reaction to the flu vaccine years ago."
Jesus. I mean I really, truly don't want to sound heartless but that honestly sounds like a bullshit excuse. Yeah, sometimes you have side effects of vaccines but the end-result is you're protected. I'd love to know what kind of shit she reads and what she watches on TV - I have a pretty good idea though.
Also, husband is on long-term disability and mentioned he has no idea how he's going to pay for everything. Just such a shitty situation.
If social media especially Facebook can be wiped off the internet, it would make the world a little bit of a better place. All these dumbassery and misinformation just kills so many people.
Because otherwise you're just like them and then who's the real Nazi?
People who do that can fuck off into the sun. That is very much against the rules and I doubt you'd find many people who like the sub who think doing that is defensible. If you think that is what the sub is about, you're wrong.
You understand that there is a difference between wanting people to die and not caring if they die from a completely preventable disease right? Like if someone out their head through a windshield in a car accident cause they weren't wearing their seat belt, like are we supposed to feel sorry for that person for being a dumbass?
Frankly the world is a better place every time an anti vaxxer who actively spreads lies and disinformation dies. Especially the 6 or so conservative radio hosts that have all died.
I will remind you that recently a wildfire was blamed on "Jewish space lasers."
The person who made that comment is currently a state representative.
Yeah it's specifically against the rules to do that. Not sure what post that person saw, but I have been going there frequently and I rarely see that.
What you do see are the trolls that are harrassing family members to try and get the sub shut down. Some of them brag about it, before they are banned (probably for the 100th time).
And someone is always willing to pat themselves on the back for not offending the offensive. Congrats.
These people are purposely putting others in danger. To borrow a phrase from them…fuck their feelings. I'm done sympathizing with those that are willingly making this pandemic continue to last far longer than it should.
I would rather they just get the vaccine but if they refuse to then I'm not afraid to say that I do feel some relief when they inevitably die. It's just one less person helping spread dangerous misinformation, one less person taking hospital resources from an innocent person who needs it. Similar to how I feel when a transphobe dies, one less person who will hate-crime me. Luckily since many of the anti-vaxxers seem to be Trump Stans as well, I get a 2-for-1!
Yeesh… that one woman who was bitching about masking up and vaccination mandates for restaurants:
(Paraphrase) "Demand Oppression OR I can just not spend my money at your restaurant and cook at home- let's see which one of us survives longer!"
… the woman that posted that died a few months later.

Surprised at the amount of ass-showing in this thread, not many, but more than I thought for Era.
I wish that subreddit was more public facing so more (affected) people could see it.
They always happen to also be bigoted AF, huge MAGA supporters, religious to the max, etc...most of their profile pics tell me almost everything about them...they're all the same.
MFers are like Uruk-hai, just pulled out of the mud as a template lol

The overlap with them is almost a complete circle lol.

You lost these type of people right there, my friend.

Yep they killed it. Fuck SpezReddit admins have pushed new rules unto the subreddit
Official Staff Communication
Now that Reddit has cracked down on the subreddit this thread was about, the thread seems to have run its course. There isn't much left to discuss here. The morbid negativity has also been contentious among members and therefore we're unlikely to revisit this even if the subreddit resurfaces.
