It's literary cataloging the deaths of people that believe that COVID is not real. It's about reality.

Cataloging seems to give a dispassionate connotation to the whole thing. Shitting all over dead people is not really dispassionate and at one point in recent time would universally be reviled. This is like westboro baptist church levels of inappropriate.

  Let's be clear, these people have been denying the reality of COVID, and a thing everyone forgets is that not only do they endanger themselves, but everyone around them, and taken even further the people who they vote for are mandating measures that make things worse, see Florida, Texas etc... This is the same argument about alt-right. I am sorry if your belief system dictates that others must be eliminated maybe you don't deserve compassion.

    So upon someones passing I would tend to wonder "did they receive the best care possible?". Immediately shitting on the dead says "it does not matter what care they received, they deserved what they got". I think that is a dangerous seed to plant.

      Maybe you should ask, how many people did they infect? How many people have they potentially killed either by spreading an infection or by overwhelming hospitals so that other patients pass because they can't get the care they need? The problem about the "should they get care" problem is that it ignores the source, their refusal to help society and ultimately their demise is directly linked by their lack of action. For this subreddit specifically no one is posting COVID deaths of immunocompromised people, or the vaccinated, there is a reason. It's focusing on the denial and the end result of prayer requests, and ultimately death. It's grim. However it's a choice they make for <insert reason here>.

        You are going to great lengths to justify shitting on dead people, just to put this whole conversation into perspective. Now how would you feel if someone just got a feeling about you at the hospital and thought you were one of those types that deserved it? Maybe they mistook your mustache or your boots to mean something it doesn't. Maybe there was a hiccup in your vaccine records and you appear to be lying about your vaccine status. In your mind these people deserve it, exposed to enough of this hate you might think you can just sense who these people are. You may see it as some righteousness but you are completely ignoring the US v THEM injections. When you picture these people were they mostly the same picture of people you held grudge before 2020?

        You have been respectful up until now, so I will reply, however it's apparent that neither one of us are going to change our minds. If a drunk driver hits another person crossing the road and they both need reconstructive surgery. Who would you feel worse about? Who should get care first? How would your opinion change, if at all, if the drunk driver was posting pictures drinking behind the wheel and making fun of everyone else for not drinking and driving? Yes, everyone is a living being, everyone deserves sympathy and compassion. However if you actively lack sympathy and compassion for others, why should I, as an individual give it to you?

  I would agree if the subreddit was indiscriminately shitting on people who died of COVID. Instead, it singles out only the people who spent the last months of their lives denying the disease, downplaying it, spreading propaganda, disparaging masks and vaccines and dunking on people doing the right thing--basically singling out people doing everything they can to keep the pandemic going. Sure, it's Schadenfreude, but not hate. I liken it to the so-called "Darwin Award": Yes it's dark, but it's not simply a way to goof in general on people dying.

    I think it is hate because its not uncommon to hear that these people should be denied care.

      It's a strange logic we are operating on. Soon the unvaccinated will be denied care, I wonder how the statistics will play out then. With the amount of vitriol being marketed - some doctors and nurses might already be giving sub par care to the refuseniks.
