Tragedy

The opposite of strategy is not the absence of strategy, rather it is tragedy such that ways are found of using available means to achieve undesirable ends. People use what they have to get what they don’t want or arrive where they don’t want to be or shape a future they didn’t want. When all the available means necessary to accomplish something good are used to accomplish something bad, this is tragic, not strategic.
That’s not a strategy, it’s a tragedy.

Grief tragedy sympathy industry

Cops learn that if they break down and cry to a shrink after using their weapons, they get support, and both cops and civilians that know they will be on TV know just how to break down at the right time and "express" sorrow for what they did, thinking that will make them less wrong. When was the last time you heard a cop or a civilian that shot an unarmed protestor or black guy say

"Not a day goes by that I don't feel absolutely no remorse about what I did, they got what was coming to them!" The reason you never hear that on TV is nobody wants to make what's coming for them any worse than what it is, nobody wants to intensify what is coming for them.
Something you never hear on TV's grief tragedy sympathy industry-

Armed Civilian- Yea I shot the son of a bitch, so what, who cares. Gimme the electric chair, hang me, or shut the fuck up you fucking cunt!

Judge- I will do as you wish, I will sentence you to death, you will get what you deserve without further adieu!

Tragedy

Some may define "Tragedy" as either Shakesphere, losing your car keys, or losing a loved one. A true tragedy is being born on April 1st. Indeed there is nothing sadder than being forced to suffer through 2 special days at once.
I was born on April 1st and I gotta say my life has been nothing but a Tragedy

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.
