It's just a bad argument (for reasons I mentioned) to respond to the death of anyone with something like, "over 60, should have been prepared to die anyway." There are so many reasons that is an idiotic, mean response.

I think I am calm, by the way, by contrast with /u/tseug's elightenting response: "Shutup you cunt"

The bigger question is: why do several people on saidit.net see the OP's post as 'insightful'. To think that there are 18 people who think in this manner, not to mention a MAGAtard Twittler army of gun-totiing, smelly, rotund, Christian terrorists who also think it, is really worrying. This past 4 years has brought out the worst in people.

I would never click the lightbulb for shite like this. It's making me leave. However, I also don't like seeing people who think its mean to say that death comes to us all. What matters is the reality of death, which isn't what people think, and isn't something to weep over. I stopped crying over dead loved ones and beloved life-long pets because I realized that when I die, I don't want people falling into unreason or fear. If your mom died of a car crash, I'll feel sorry and offer condolences, but if you were to then support draconian measures against the freedom to buy and operate a car, I'll oppose you.

If you call someone a name, isn't that more rude than simply saying words that are truthful? Edit: yeah tseug is pretty rude, but you did say he needs to seek help from the medical community, and they really suck at dealing with mental health problems. You basically asked him to go take legal drugs

It boils down to someone saying that his/her grandpa died from COVID, and then receiving the mean comment, "Old people die, poofter. That's life." The suffering of others may not matter to this latter person or to you. I thought I'd mention what I think is wrong with this lack of concern for others. It's also a worrying trend.

I don't see why stating the truth makes you think I don't care about the suffering of poofter and their grandparent. That's your unhealthy projection. My gripe is that you guys think we should enforce a dress code, a needle mandate, and a draconian lockdown because someone died. Thank you.
