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.

Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

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.
