Sympathy

Something you don't have for somebody you never met before. You don't care about somebody you never met, because you don't even like somebody you never met.

You have to have met somebody at least once to even know if you like them, let alone feel any other way about them. You don't feel sympathy for a guy you don't even know, and if you say you do, no matter what you tell everyone else, there is no deceiving yourself about the matter, no matter how desperately you try. George Floyd's trial has become people that never even met the guy pretending to feel things nobody would feel for somebody they never met, if they were honest with themselves.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

The industry that is in Mobile, Louisiana, or Florida in September for the hurricanes and in the Midwest in the spring for the tornados. They're not even around long enough to give a fuck about anybody, if another hurricane hit a few weeks later in the Bahamas, they'd already be in the Bahamas with a new story, a new group of people they care so much about, and a new fundraising and rescue effort underway.

The grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry is not on your side, they are not your friend. They are just the people that control your supply chain (they have all the power) if you end up fucked. They are the same people that control the weapons, military, government, industry, and first responders.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy industry

An industry that pretends to be on your side, rooting for you instead of the events that make the industry possible (storms, crime, death, accidents, bad news).

The grief/tragedy/sympathy industry is a business, not a friend.

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 Soda

An unopened/unused beverage (usually in a can or bottle) that was intended for drinking but gets put back in the refrigerator and swapped for a cold one later.

Before going to bed, Michael grabbed a can of cola and took it with him. When he woke up the next morning he took the sympathy soda downstairs and put it back in the fridge and went to a coffee shop.
