    No, that was my point all along, you just refuse to see it. We need more generalized FAFO, we need to never shut up about it. It is not the same as mocking people for their misery, and it’s not done for joy (nor that it actually joyful, beyound the regular schadenfreude). It has very specific and very important purpose. A lot of those people can’t learn unless the example punches them in the face. They can’t feel empathy for other people, so they need to always be reminded that sometimes leopards are eating their faces. Asking them nicely didn’t help, never did.
    Unless we make the idea that their misery is directly correlated with their choices, they will all make the same choices again, and they don’t seem to be susceptible to new info when they’re not miserable.

    The problem with that, is that if you include everything “small” in the definition, the word loses all it’s meaning, feeble as it is already.
    The word microplastic was introduced to describe not just any small piece of trash, but specifically that very small, invisible, pieces of plastics that are, as it turned out, everywhere, in the air, in the water, in our food, in our blood, even in space. If you add just small pieces of rubbish to it, we remove all the sense from the word, and will need another one.

    If you think in this categories, then it doesn’t matter, the cause is already lost. If it’s “The Left vs Texans” then yeah, nothing will help.
    But, next time some disconnected idiot from Texas asks “why should I vote Democrats” you can point them out all the cases when not doing so hurt them specifically. This is what you called reveling in their demise.

    But isn’t it just sweeping the root cause under the rug until the next inevitable disaster? If you don’t remind them that it’s their doing, they will definitely ignore it and do the same thing again, with the same tragic results. I don’t know if reminding helps really, but keeping silence about it definitely doesn’t.
    When a child hurts itself, you need to establish cause and effect relationship in their head, otherwise they will hurt themselves again
