This week marks the anniversaries of 9/11 and the Charlie Kirk shooting at Utah Valley University, but you may have seen your social media flooded with memes and jokes about the tragedies. A psychology professor explains how it might be Gen Z's way to cope with heavy news beyond their control.

Gen X here, watched Space Shuttle explode with teacher inside. We did not make jokes because we cared or were grieving, we made jokes soon thereafter because they were funny.

I'm not clicking on your pathetic rage bait. It's funny because Charlie Kirk's death was objectively funny — and he deserved worse — and our ham fisted response to 9/11 killed millions of people and made the world much worse, so mocking these events is the most appropriate response.

Ah yes, gallows humor. We certainly wouldn’t have it without Gen Z! What comedic geniuses they are. And you are intellectually incurious morons for reporting this and so are your readers/viewers who believe it.

This really isn't said nearly enough. These abhuman Nazi fucks think it's funny when their political opponents are killed, but clutch their pearls when we rightly recognize that every dead Nazi pervert* makes the world a better place. * (negative)

And TPUSA is even more ridiculous now. BTW, his wife was always running that thing. She just put him up front because he was a good speaker and the people they wanted as followers wouldn't accept a woman as the head of anything, unless she was a widow of "The Great Man."
