The fact that the whole ordeal was a giant fucking tragedy caused by American imperialism is funny for that reason, not because those people are dead.

That is the nuanced take.

I think that everyone here does have a nuanced take on this, don't get me wrong - many of you appear to be much smarter/well read than I am at this point. I just thought it was kinda weird to log on and just see a bunch of lulz with no other discussion from anyone at all; but I guess that's because you've had this conversation before. That said, there are people who would totally joke about this without having that nuance so I was just making sure I didn't enter the twilight zone or something lol.

man this day has been the national meme holiday for about a decade, I'm shocked this is your first encounter with it

Not my first encounter but I think the most posts I've seen about it back to back. Makes sense it's on hexbear though lol
