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

Is it Ethical ?

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.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
