grief tragedy sympathy hope industry

An industry that loves to tell people who their heroes are/should be.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).

sympathy anger

when a friend or acquaintance's anger rubs off on you and you become angry about the same thing

Me: I hated T.Swift when she played country music. It made me viscerally upset. She was so annoying.
Friend: Ugh I know! Every time I changed the radio station her country song was on in a different phase. I couldn't escape it. It was terrible. God, I'm pissed about it all over again!
Me: Bro, you have mad sympathy anger right now.

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!

Grief tragedy sympathy hope

Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.

People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.
