Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

A cynical industry where you hear the same kinds of stories and lines over and over to the point that it's a joke that isn't funny (the false hope and optimism sky is going to fall again tomorrow industry).
Person that survived storm- As long as nobody gets hurt, I don't care if I lose everything else.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry Reporter- That sounds convincing.

5 years later after recovering from loss of loved one the person gets to thinking and it hits them- As horrible as it makes me sound, too horrible to put on TV, though nothing will hit as hard as me losing a loved one or an animal, I really do miss that couch and TV, even if I got another one. It sounds inhuman of me, and yet deep down anyone else would miss their shit at times if they lost it, even if they didn't tell anyone that they did. If they didn't miss their shit, they wouldn't get a house to put it in, but if they did get a house and wouldn't miss their shit, they'd live in an empty house, since nothing would be sacred there. If people are being honest with themselves and true to life, they also miss material things even if they miss the living things more.

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.

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?

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!"

Grief tragedy sympathy industry

Of the things the grief tragedy sympathy industry shows you on primetime TV, the coronavirus statistics seem dull this time of year because they are all year, but it takes something like extreme weather to wake people up.
