Tragedy

It's a type of soup
You know, the real tragedy is not just what happened to him but that we live in the world where you even have to ask whether or not he is the bad one.

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!"

Middle East Tragedy

Russia, China, the U.S, Japan, France, Spain, and the U.K are discussing Syria and their chemical weapons. Right now ever since the latest memorial of 9-11, there has been tragedy with the muslims in the middle east and countries in south western Russia such as Turkey and Kazakhstan. Libya and Al-Qaeda received a signal to move into Syria and Egypt to surround Israel. It is unknown to all of us of which country sent the signal. But Afghanistan is currently scared now and leaves the war with a frightened attitude and begs the U.S to end the war. Russia believes that China can come up with ideas. To this day, there is war in Iraq. Madness and tragedy strikes the middle east with threats, frights, and various other things. Will this madness ever end?

Grief/tragedy/sympathy industry

An industry that pretends to be on your side, rooting for you instead of the events that make the industry possible (storms, crime, death, accidents, bad news).
The grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is a business, not a friend.

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!"
