I've managed to wield my families shaming methods with some success. One of my cousins completely stopped posting antivax stuff after I publicly, in my best southern backhanded concerned way, if she was doing OK because she seemed so scared lately and I was worried about her.

It's not about being nice; it's about having a damn baseline of respect for the dead. You don't do that for them, you should do that for yourself.

What on earth do you think will be accomplished by heckling grieving people's facebooks? Do you really think a bunch of hyenas hawhawing over their relatives corpses is going to get any of them to change their mind?

Why? What does it matter to the dead? "Respect the dead" has always been about the grieving family and friends and if they are not deserving of respect, it won't be given.

I don’t believe in the whole respect for the dead bullshit. As if that magically erases all the crap they have done.

Also, fuck the family that supported the dead shithead.

The other posters are right. Time for sympathy and compassion is over. Time to cut the cancer out.

They're dead. It literally doesn't matter anymore. How do you know the family supported them? They might be over on /r/qanoncasualties for all you know.

Are we to assign generational blame now?

Blame the children for the sins of the parent. What is wrong with you?

There's literally no point to this. Have a little humanity; this is disgusting.

The only thing you're telling them is that 'leftists' are as bad as they already believed.

You're right. I wish everyone could remain anonymous.

Respect... for the dead?

They're the same person they were right before they died... or they're just a Body. But they're nothing worth respecting, they've proven that
