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.

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 guilt trip

News stories that get more and more desperate until people submit into doing anything the media/government/healthcare industry/scientists want them to do.
Last week's grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip was a recycled story from the Trump era about a young guy that still thought the coronavirus was a hoax until he ended up in ICU. When that didn't increase vaccination rates, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry got more desperate and had a guy talking emotionally about how you can save his one year old in Arkansas even if you live halfway across the country by getting in line for a vaccine. Just do what these people say and everyone will be okay, just meet their demands is what the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is trying to prime people's subconcious with.
