working myself up getting really stressed out & upset about tragedy jokes online I fucking hate how everyone pretends they’re mocking the us government as a free pass to joke about a very real & very fucked up tragedy

#newsflash assholes! the only people you’re mocking & affecting are survivors & people whose family died!#mocking victims isnt a ‘gotcha’ to the government or some thought provoking commentary on us i.slamophobia!#i’ve gone to mosques to support muslim friends & community members in the face of i.slamophobic violence in the us. have you?#do you post resources & information alongside your jokes?#do you do anything to SUPPORT the people you’re using to justify making jokes at the expense of other victims?#tw islamophobia mention #tw 9/11 #why don’t you take some time to think about why you find this acceptable as opposed to other tragedies #is it because you think the only people harmed were rich white americans? where do you get that idea?#have you ever thought about the first responders? do you think it’s funny when first responders die from health complications directly #tied to their work?#would you make jokes about this sort of thing if they weren’t American? if it was a different disaster that killed them?#‘oh blue it’s not that deep it’s just a joke’#well I’m sick of seeing these ‘jokes’ everywhere I look #& I think it’s ridiculous that ‘progressives’ online think it’s wrong to joke about every other tragedy but fine #to joke about this because it happened in the us
