Grief/tragedy/sympathy machine

A machine that needs functional, cooperative parts to keep going.

If the coronavirus hype didn't keep going, people would begin to wake up. Therefore the grief/tragedy/sympathy machine keeps it going, keeps the misinformation spreading like wildfire.

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!"

Grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis

A way for some folks to claim that if you donate enough money, morale will get better.

The people claiming to be morale boosters were making a lot of money off the grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis, but would be quick to try and tear morale apart again if they needed more money for another grief/tragedy/sympathy crisis.
