Imagine you just were diagnosed with cancer and people were mocking you. Would you like that? Find it entertaining? Happy that people are laughing at you as you sit there dying?

now now, this might not be mocking his cancer diagnosis. This might be mocking his stutter or his age. We’re cool with all of those things so long as it’s aimed at people we don’t like, or feel we have a grievance with. 🙄
I don’t believe it’s a school thing, but a broader cultural thing.
I also think it’s a problem exacerbated by the internet, where separation of people from their personhood is easier, and social media, where pithiness is valued and rewarded above all else.
Take the opening of my reply— there doesn’t need to be sarcasm there. I’m leaving it now to be illustrative.
I wish that were the problem. Nah. You literally cannot have logic without morality. Can't be intelligent without also having empathy. Or else. Why do anything positive? You wouldn't. Because you wouldn't/couldn't evaluate doing good things as a good thing. lol
Yes, I’d agree with you on all these things. Seeing some truly insane comments from people has been alarming. If the source(s) for what’s responsible for how these people ‘think’ isn’t/arent addressed, our society is in even more trouble than I thought.
it wasnt funny because of his cancer diagnosis, I personally don't think its funny that he has cancer, it was funny because it was sad that the best the Democrats could give us was joe "80-years-young" biden as the alternative to the semi-charismatic asswipe we got instead
