      some people get through trauma with various flavors of emotive tools, including sarcasm and humor.

        I hear that “Gallows humor” excuse every single time and it’s only ever used so assholes can feel good about being assholes. It’s basically the “Women like getting r–ed” excuse that incels use to justify their shitty behavior. Yes sometimes they say that, but it’s not a justification.

        You know full well nobody here was saying that to “get through hard times” you’re all safe on your computers punching down at dead people.

          What are you the gallows humor police? Can I still joke about Hitler’s death or is that taboo now? I’m German so I have a Hitler given mandate to make fun of him and all the other nazis scum.

        yeah, if they have a mutual emotional connection to the deceased. I don’t think these two ever met.

      I’ve seen interviews with this guy. He had a surprisingly bright outlook on life. I think he would have found this funny.
