  Or, maybe, it’s a terror tactic for everyone to keep in line, since it is a signature method of killing opponents. It is also gruesome enough to be a huge deterrent. There is nothing funny about this, it’s completely tragic.

        You are 100% correct. It is awful and tragic and nothing to laugh at.
        But you also have to realize that there’s nothing that the majority of us here can do about it. Even as a country we are already doing everything we can do to deal with the war.
        So, how are we as powerless humans supposed to deal with the knowledge of this unstoppable horror? How are we supposed to process this horror and the 20 other worse ones we will hear about before lunch time?
        For many people, the only way to make it through a day and fight against the onslaught of never ending horror by summoning up another emotion. Sometimes it’s anger, but anger is bad if you have no purpose for it. If you can’t become constructive with it then it becomes destructive. So what else is there that isn’t destructive or paralyzing? For many of us, it is dark humor. We push aside the constant onslaught with laughter. That’s how we get through the day instead of lashing out or curling up in a ball.
        So you are both right. It is awful and horrible and not humorous at all, but at the same time it’s deeply and darkly hilarious.

    Or, maybe I will disregard all your opinions because you parrot idiotic “internet comment tropes” like starting with “or, maybe”.

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Star Wars, it’s that evil empires generally don’t put much emphasis on workplace safety. Good handrails and such cost money that could be used for superweapons and cool outfits for your bodyguards.

    The problem is, Russia doesn’t have cool outfits or super weapons!

      That’s why they’re failing as an evil empire. Putin has driven away every good fashion and weapon designer.
