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.
Granted I’m not OP, but I’m pretty sure I speak for many others who like myself do care about the assassinations and occasionally crack jokes about the Russian windows. We joke because it sucks, there’s nothing we can do about it and it happens so often it has become a parody of itself.
You may have to realize that sometimes humor is the way to cope. It’s why there are Hitler and Auswitz and rape jokes. Poor taste? Maybe, but sometimes people joke to either point out the tragedy, to make people think about a tragedy, or sometimes plainly because it’s better to laugh then vry about literally everything bad because then you just get into a depression.
You do not get to tell others how to respond to situation. You may not like how one person responds, other may not like how you respond.
I too respond with humor to death. Not bect I don’t care or because I’m 15, it’s because I’ve seen too much of it. I’ve seen people hanging from bridges, I’ve seen people on pieces, I’ve seen people dying in front of my eyes. I’ve seen the war deaths on tv, I see Trump, I see the inevitable horrible climate change… Either I joke laugh about it to give it a place, or I might as well kill myself and get it over with.
You do not get to tell me I’m wrong, you do not get to tell me I cannot make jokes. If you don’t like it, you can ignore it. Grow some skin, learn about life, not everyone is like you.
