The popular HermanCain reddit sub, named after herman cain who done antivaxxed and died, an internet hive of angry recollection of mistakes made.

Public Shaming -> log for change ?

Yes it's cruel.

The West is obsessed with internal division.

Don't see any difference between that group and people saying "only 1.2% will die"

Both parties are corrupt.

If someone bragging on Social Media about how he won't wash hands after a poop I don't care if they die.

Sorry.

Considering the colossal tsunami of vitriol and hate that has been spewing out of the Radical Right for over a year now, up to and including death threats and actual killings of people who do nothing more than attempt to take simple, common-sense actions to protect themselves and their society, a web site that uses mockery and irony to make a point is small potatoes indeed.

i think it's sort of funny in an ironically edgy kinda way, like naming a mountain climbing award after George Mallory

you can't publicly shame dead people, they don't care.
