So, seriously, when did it start to be socially acceptable and even normal to greet the news of someone's death by convening an inquiry on the spot to decide whether they "deserve" sympathy or not?

Ok, actually, forget that question. how do we make it stop?

Sorry, I mistook your meaning and responded in a way that offended you. I apologize.

Thank you for that and fwiw I wasn't offended and am not angry. Just really touchy about anyone Going There, you know?

ETA: Though do give some thought as to how and why you got from "why have people apparently completely forgotten how to act in the face of tragedy and death" to "But POL POT!" in one step?

Whataboutery is bad for the general discourse and for the blood pressure, both.
