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.

Get the Grief/tragedy/sympathy guilt trip mug.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.
The extreme weather is a refreshing thing to see after watching the same dull coronavirus numbers and statistics bullshit that is aired by the grief tragedy sympathy industry all year since 2020.

Get the Sympathy agent mug.Regretful soothing words dat you administer to someone else to supposedly make him feel better about a situation, but in reality you merely feel sorry for YOURSELF.
A classic "selfish sympathy" example, from an old "Peanuts" comic:
Schroeder, in exasperation at Lucy's pushy "over-attentiveness": Do you know what Beethoven never had?!
Lucy: What?
Schroeder, rantingly waving his arms above his head: Beethoven never had girls hanging on to his piano and bugging him about giving them presents!
Lucy, mildly shocked: He DIDN'T?! (pauses to ponder this fact) Poor Beethoven!

Get the Sympathy handjob mug.It's funny that you keep saying that because that's one of the last things I said to my mother in her fit of drunken denial. She's a bitch and a narcissist.
Hym " 'You have no sympathy' I said to my narcissistic mother. And she said nothing because she knew I was right and my stepfather cried because HE ALSO KNEW I WAS RIGHT. Regardless of what happens with this I'm going to make sure I'm not around. Functionally an orphan. Like, the video game. Orphan: Scion of Sorcerery. Hi Melissa! Hi Mark! Go fuck yourselves!"
