Grief/tragedy/sympathy industry

The industry that wants control of all sides of the story, therefore the media claims to tell all sides of the story and be on everyone's side.

What the media and grief/tragedy/sympathy industry won't tell people is how on their own they really are, and how the industry doesn't give a fuck about them, it's a machine that depends on them to keep running.

Shit tragedy

When a bunch of evil individuals destroy a country or a place, and continue living at the end.

In a traditional tragedy, all of the characters die at the end but in a shit tragedy like the Fall of the United States, no one is dying so the horrible story isn't over and the damage continues.

Egyptian Tragedy

The act of fucking a charred orange covered in salt until it completely disintegrates. The orange has to be charred in order for it to be an Egyptian Tragedy, aswell as the orange, which has to be from a farmer in China named "Louis", it can be any Louis, as long as they farm oranges. You have to be in a state of melancholy in the act. The salt has to be from the Salzbergwerk in Berchtesgaden.

This criteria is mandatory
The orange has to be powdered and from China
And HAVE to be from someone named Louis
If the farmer isnt named Louis, this is not an Egyptian Tragedy

jimfarticle: Yo, i tried the Egyptian Tragedy challenge, and it was eye opening. It was unlike anything ive ever had before
marcos: what the fuck is that

Tragedy Averted

WHAT!? BEYONCE ALMOST CAUGHT A STRAY!?

Hym "Nonononono, the carry part is THIS: The news anchor starts by saying 'TRAGEDY AVERTED' Beyonce almost got hit by a stray bullet! Do you know WHY Beyonce didn't get hit!? Because a passerby TOOK THE BULLET TO THE HEAD! HOW IS THAT A TRAGEDY AVERTED!? MORE LIKE 'TRAGEDY DEFERED!' WOW BRO! That is fucking WILD! They said she would have took it in the arm or shoulder if it would have hit her so... It would have been BETTER if she got hit! I don't know if the passerby is dead but I ASSUME they are but yeah. TRAGEDY AVERTED! Somebody took a bullet for Beyonce (who wouldn't have died if she had taken it herself). Crazy!"

Politicizing The Tragedy

a Republican LieSpeak term: "The Tragedy" is of course some entirely avoidable horror, generally a large loss of life, and generally this occurred due to some policy that Republicans fully support. "Politicizing" is being used here as a synonym for "Doing something about it (to prevent it)"

Thus "Politicizing The Tragedy" is a form of LieSpeak that enables sociopathic people to actually flip the script and call people out for wanting to do something to stop the horror.

-After each deadly house fire without a fire department, the small town tried to set up a fire department paid for with town taxes, but the anti-tax crowd always screams that setting up a fire department and raising local taxes to pay for it is Politicizing The Tragedy.

-The Nazi screamed at me: "What do you mean that we must do something to stop the needless killing? You want to stop the killings? No, the killings must go on, and you are the monster for trying to stop them because you are Politicizing The Tragedy!"
