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

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.

You are using the “black humor comes from soldiers and EMTs to get them through a shitty day” argument but this isn’t that. OP who makes those jokes doesn’t live in Russia and doesn’t care about the assassinations. They are here to make a joke. You can see a trend of “just making a joke” everywhere online - with how many people comment on any topic attempting to be funny just for the fun of it. Someplaces though simply show a complete lack of empathy or understanding on their part. Example is the famous “I also choose this guy’s dead wife” joke - in person you’d get punched immediatelly if someone has just shown such vulnerability and you responded with that joke.
