Nothing worse than the joke police. Give me a break. People like laughing. it doesn't come at the expense of anything or anyone.

I wouldn't consider joking about throwing burritos at a Latina Congresswoman as "gallows humor"

its real cool that people are way more upset on this board about some alt right reporter getting smacked around and milkshaked than they are about our concentration camps

There is a common misconception that jokes are somehow indicitative of or influential of something more than just making people laugh.

There is nothing funny about anyone dying. A joke about a death can be funny, however. If somebody is just laughing at the fact somebody died, that is fucked up. But jokes are called jokes for a reason. You can use an event as a setting for implementing wit.

trying real hard to defend this

All while going around shouting "pro-life!!11" all the time too I bet.

Not surprised the dude who defends calling black people slurs would have such a dumbass take

I dont know how you dont get tired of outing yourself like this

Doctors and Nurses often joke about patients. When you work in a field that deals with death you're going to have gallows humor as stated before. This is not a secret and it's known. Gallows Humor is a coping mechanism.

A bunch of people who never work in fields like this judging those that do. Shocking.

hilarious gallows humour like laughing at photos of a dead dad and his child and suggesting it was staged by democrats. side splitting stuff.

or suggesting a gofundme to harm aoc, absolutely grade a humour.

i hope american police are informed so they can use some fun racial slurs to blow off steam. god bless.

It's not really meant to be truly funny and those that aren't a part of it see only cruelty.

In one exchange, group members responded with indifference and wisecracks to the post of a news story about a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant who died in May while in custody at a Border Patrol station in Weslaco, Texas. One member posted a GIF of Elmo with the quote, Oh well. Another responded with an image and the words If he dies, he dies.

outing?

I don't know how to respond to those kinds of posts. They offer nothing in terms of information, entertainment, perspective, critical thinking, etc.

Just a big waste of space in every topic.

How does your defending racists and bigots offer anything besides insight into your own person? You'd be better off shutting up

Okay. And?

They were laughing at a dead infant

I want to be clear that you are a goddamn fucking idiot

Fender doesn't have any valuable insight or critical thinking skills to share. Most people of his ilk just demand to be heard when they should be ignored. Don't give them platforms.

"Guys did you ever stop to think that concentration camp guards feel bad about committing atrocities and we need to be sensitive to that? So much for the tolerant left."

Jokes are supposed to be funny. These jokes of theirs could never be considered funny.

Reminder that fender used to advocate for allowing humans to have sex with horses.

The difference is that doctors and nurses aren't supposed to kill people, whereas border patrol people are supposed to imprison people.

Yep, the guards that willingly work in these camps and are complicit in these atrocities sure do need a way to cope with it.

We should provide them with jail cells to help them "cope" with "it".
