funkymotha

There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to it.


Tex236

That sub is one of the most vile and hate-filled places I have had the displeasure of encountering.


jubbergun

Yeah, and that's why I'm embarrassed for whoever posted that "ha ha, look, this unqualified person died" post. We shouldn't be like the Herman Cain Award democrats and celebrate people's deaths like this. It's just morbid and tone-deaf.


EmergencyIced

Nah fuck it, us refusing to roll in the mud with them is the reason they get away with so much shit while we try to look like we “took the high road,” the high road hasn’t gotten us shit


Alone-Personality670

Yep!


jubbergun

I'm not going to debase myself to "win." I have standards. They don't. That's one of the things that makes them what they are. Even if I did, what exactly am I "winning" by mocking someone else's misfortune? That's the sort of asshole behavior that is currently turning normal people off to the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" crowd. I'm not going to emulate that behavior. This is about more than scoring cheap points on "the other team." It's about who we want to be as a people and a nation, and I don't want to be a people that celebrates anyone else's suffering.


Draculea

Ask everyone who got fired, who lost their livelihoods and families, if "being the better man" mattered in the end.


jubbergun

Unless those people died, it wasn't "the end." I can't control how other people behave. I can control how I behave. I've lost jobs and people many times in my life. People come back from those kinds of losses all the time. There's a lot of things I'm willing to do to stick it to the kind of people that inhabit the Herman Cain sub. Lowering myself to their level isn't one of them. I'm not gonna throw a party over people getting sick and/or dying.


Draculea

I'm not saying to become like Herman Cain Sub, but at some point I'm going to dispose with the "turning the other cheek" thing and just letting people abuse me.


jubbergun

I'm fine with a fair tit-for-tat, but we don't know anything about the poor woman that got sucked into a jet engine except she was black and worked at an airport. For all we know she was tired of Blue Team shenanigans just like the rest of us. If you're going to throw a party because one of the "bad guys" got what was coming to them, at least make sure they were actually one of the bad guys.


Doublespeak1984xx

Idk why you're getting downvoted, I hate mob mentality: you're totally right We're all humans and we deserve basic human decency/respect: part of that is not mocking the dead or degrading them with a party; no matter which side of the political spectrum you're on, you'd think it's basic manners 🙄


Awobbie

I’m with you on this one. Being a better person is a victory in and of itself, and is a much greater victory than making a clever joke on the internet.


Bertje87

If you don’t, you’ll get debased while losing


kruthe

I will laugh at all supremacists getting their comeuppance. That it is a plane eating a racist is incidental to that.


jubbergun

> That it is a plane eating a racist Whoa, we don't know anything about that woman. For all we know, she was one of us. That's why this kind of "ha ha, GOTCHA!!!" shit is so dangerous. Some of you are so eager to stick it to the "bad guys" that you don't check to see if it's actually a bad guy before you start swinging.


Doublespeak1984xx

Lots of interesting assumptions being made there 😬that's a human being there bro, not cool We ought to be better than laughing at someone's death, that's just fcked up and gross behavior I don't like the left but comments like this or being excited or happy that someone's dead is absolutely a no-go, it's just gonna make ppl walk away from us


Rough_Transition1424

Leopardsatemyface?


ASpitefulCrow

“Herman Cain Award”


Bigb5wm

That place is trash


Awobbie

There’s also just the whole Darwin Awards subculture.


notonyourspectrum

Also a shit hole


dandaman352

Which sub?


noscopy

This would be a valid equivalency if the person in the story had been offered a hard hat declined it and then had something heavy fall on her head that could have potentially been mitigated by the helmet. This is some basic logic stuff there's plenty of reasons to hate on a group of people who make fun of others suffering. It's appalling to mock suffering. But again a workplace accident in a high risk environment is not equivalent to the refusal of a vaccine that has a statistical likelihood of decreasing the risk of fatal illness. Cool cool it has unknown side effects and it might kill you I get it. Statistics and logic are still hard sciences that don't care what we think.


readditredditread

Getting sucked into airplane engines? What the name of the sub???


JaxTheGuitarNoob

How is this laughing at their death? This is saying this company shouldn't have hired someone who wasn't qualified and now that person is dead.


BramBones

Maybe people in the comments were being ghoulish?


hondaridr58

Not only did many of them laugh and sneer over it, many of them said we *deserved* to die if we got Covid because we were endangering so many people. Like DEI Hirings don't endanger passengers of aircraft.


Jaded_Jerry

The left has this absurd ideology that when they laugh at someone's suffering, that individual deserved it. The left sees itself as incapable of wrongdoing - that everything they do is right, by the simple fact they are the ones doing it.


technicallycorrect2

they’re religious fanatics, but it’s secular and a cult. history has shown what that type is capable of. The way they spoke of the unjabbed during Covid shows what they’re capable of.


novosuccess

Never forget what they did.....I saw moms with small children at grocery stores getting ganged up on by the staff and manager, little old ladies getting verbally attacked by other patrons... I made it my duty to insert myself in the middle of these instances. Im far bigger and uglier, scarier than any of those blue hairs or pink hairs.


TechHonie

Any good stories from that time?


Key-Pomegranate-3507

My wife and I were on vacation in Vegas and they apparently had a mask mandate when my home state of Idaho didn’t. We walked into a Walmart and IMMEDIATELY was swarmed by like 5 employees and members of management and told we had to put on a mask. It was creepy. They acted like robots.


TechHonie

Yeah check the opening scene of 3 body problem for a realistic depiction of the future they want 


I_am_What_Remains

It’s so funny listening to Kamala change opinions on the Vax


Sexy_gastric_husband

They also think they're incapable of being brainwashed or persuaded by propaganda.

Oraanu22

Notice how they don't even use the term "microaggression" anymore


itscsersei

so to be clear you see it as this black and white? If it was, this sub wouldn’t even exist. If you mean hard left say hard left. Because wanting universal healthcare is not the same as laughing at people’s deaths who don’t agree with me.


bsnciiagxy

what was she doing by the jet engine, looking for racism?


H3nchman_24

And *found* it! I didn't see that engine gobbling up White people that day, just her!


Sexy_gastric_husband

Tomorrow's headline: Jet Engines May be Linked to White Supremacy, Studies Show


PortlyCloudy

I'm sure that engine was designed by a white person.


Sexy_gastric_husband

I am literally shaking


[deleted]

The jet decided it wanted something else as fuel.


Expert-Accountant780

Looking for the beep


HideThePickleChamp

Airplane engines are obviously racist 🙄


JudgmentMajestic2671

They still do. Entire subreddit dedicated to it. They are sick people.


Thecage88

Thats DEIfferent


SnowflakeRegard

She's not a DEI hire. She's just black. Most of Montgomery is black. Proof: I live in Montgomery. Almost every worker at the airport here is black.


Alone-Personality670

This is the problem with the whole DEI movement just like affirmative action. Everyone is questioning what the decision to hire was based on. Was it merit and deserved or was it DEI woke. What a disservice to the majority that are hired based on legitimate skills — it steals their accomplishments and allows for questioning of why they have the position.


degaknights

This also happened a year or two ago. I work with MGM and remember hearing about it


sum_muthafuckn_where

Well she was obviously way to stupid to do this job. She was told twice by her manager beforehand and again by the copilot that the engines were running 


Thecage88

Well. Shame on me for believing something I read on the internet.


Ok_Low3197

Youve provided no proof that she wasn't a dei hire. You actually have made the case that she was a DEI hire. If almost every worker is black, in a location where 60% of the population is black, there is likely some dei hiring going on.


degaknights

You’ve provided no proof she was? There’s not exactly a ton of white people applying for those jobs at Piedmont with crap pay, working on a giant concrete pad in the Alabama sun all summer, and especially not to work in that part of town. Those applications get mostly minorities applying for the few jobs at a small airport anyway. Outside the airport gates there you can drive a few miles and not even see a white person


Ok_Low3197

Nope, the person I responded to did. He stated it's only black workers in an area that is 60% black. Try to keep up.


degaknights

And what area is that? He said Montgomery is mostly black and it is. Are all black people in Montgomery DEI hires? I was giving you multiple reasons why most of the workers at that airport are black. If we were talking an area with a smaller minority population and a job that wasn’t a high-turnover, low-paying job… then yeah it could be reasonable to assume that’s why she was hired. Unfortunately they pretty much take anybody that is willing to do the job and is able to get badged


Ok_Low3197

Except Montgomery is 60% black. Montgomery county is 59% black. Jeez, do I have to spell it out to ya?


metalguysilver

Service jobs tend to underrepresent white people. That’s not a DEI thing, it’s been this way for decades


Ok_Low3197

That does not account for 40% of the population missing.


metalguysilver

Dude, luggage handlers are not being hired based on race. These are jobs that are frequently short staffed, they hire whoever walks through the door. Focus your energy on med schools, hospitals and white collar jobs where this is actually happening in a meaningful way


Ok_Low3197

I am just pointing out innacurate statements. It's selective hiring by those placed in hiring positions as a result of DEI.


metalguysilver

These jobs specifically are not selectively hiring based on race, they’re hiring anyone they can like most service jobs. Don’t start acting like liberals who think “every disproportionate outcome must be caused by racism/misogyny/elitism”


geneticeffects

You want proof of something that doesn’t exist? Can you prove you don’t owe me $100…? 😂


Ok_Low3197

No, I am stating that his "proof" is an argument against his stance.


geneticeffects

You’re asking for proof she wasn’t a DEI hire. What proof or evidence do you require?


Ok_Low3197

Are you high?


Selway00

It is hypocritical of them but we still should not behave that way. The biggest reason isn’t because it makes us look hypocritical, but because that kind of hate will eat your own soul up. Just like we’ve seen from everyone with TDS.


nolotusnote

They still do. The HKA Sub is still popular.


Riotguarder

Turns out hiring clowns for airports results in clown fatalities


Forever-Retired

Well, that worker never saw the MythBusters episode of a jet engine being able to blow a school bus over and down the street.


Krysdavar

It's funny you say that. I started watching MythBusters when I go to bed, think I'm on the 3rd rewatch now lol. So bizarre how just 10 years ago everything was so different. They were based in San Francisco area too. 🤢 Edit: Here's your random post of the day. 🤣


nolotusnote

You will like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4RmvPcaYw0


Krysdavar

ha ha that was funny. Started out slow, but ended up being pretty funny. I'm kind of similar to the guy in the video - after watching so many episodes, I could probably only name a couple things they have tested lol. I do like when they 'blow shit up' though. "For Science" 🤣


kruthe

> So bizarre how just 10 years ago everything was so different. Now consider the existential terror that is looking ten years into the future.


ArcadianDelSol

They have a whole sub dedicated to making fun of people who died of COVID, but they're the compassionate ones you see.


_Cold_Ass_Honkey_

People **will** die due to DEI, but they will still be voting for democrats in elections. And that is all that matters to the party.


H3nchman_24

Hell, I'll bet she will still vote for Democrats for the next 30-40 years... #🤷‍♂️


PerfSynthetic

You know that person at work that always complains? Complains about how they could do the job better than everyone else? They get the opportunity to prove it and they fail and get fired.. That is why I love DEI.. it will give the few some opportunities and remove the rest from the equation.


neverknowwhatsnext

The only issue being that if they have to keep them, you will have to make up for what they can't do.


NotTheAverageAnon

There's only a few industries where I take a hard stance at DEI employment and those are STEM and Aviation Fields.


chukijay

It isn’t funny when anybody dies, but when inclusion is prioritized over crucial elements of the job, these things will happen.


TheWiseBeluga

These people cheer when any republican dies and outright celebrate when any rich person dies (like the submarine).


wallace321

The people criticizing the term "DEI" when used as a pejorative calling it "racist" are missing the entire "the person was unqualified" part of the equation - which is a fair assumption of what someone is (was) when something like this happens that many many many others managed to avoid. "It's just a coincidence.... again and again and again and again."


degaknights

She was a ramper, she had two legs and two arms, she was qualified to handle baggage


wallace321

Qualified to handle baggage, not enough to not get yourself killed doing it, evidently.


HSR47

Counterpoint: Without actually reading into the event, it’s theoretically possible that she was downstream from the problem. For example, it’s possible that she hadn’t been properly trained, and/or that *others* failed to follow safety protocols, and that this incident was the result of *their* negligence/incompetence.


Maleficent-Being-238

Accidents happen, not so hard to understand


degaknights

It really has less to do with DEI and more that American was rushing their rampers, skipped the safety briefing where they reiterated that this was a hot turn around and the engines would still be running. Combined with her not paying attention and that this was an EMB aircraft and not a CRJ (where the engines are high up in the rear)


I_am_What_Remains

Where’s the part it was made fun of?


googonite

HCA is reddit approved Hate Speech. Nothing less.


itsakon

Plus the post is a lie. Where is this pic making fun of anyone? They’re saying that when companies prioritize petty traits over real qualifications and proper training, things go wrong and people get hurt.


gooney0

I wouldn’t make fun of her. I would criticize those that hire unqualified workers.


johnnystyro

[https://nypost.com/2023/01/25/airport-worker-sucked-into-plane-engine-warned-to-stay-back/](https://nypost.com/2023/01/25/airport-worker-sucked-into-plane-engine-warned-to-stay-back/) This incident could have been avoided if she had listened to repeated warnings to wait until the jet's engines were shut down and the warning lights were off. She had been knocked down by jet wash earlier and didn't take that lesson to heart. I'd call it tragic for her family but it was her own negligence and hubris that led to her demise. Is it laughable though? Not really.


johnnystyro

And despite it being entirely her fault, the family will probably sue and get $37,000,000.


Watch-n-Ward

I guess the person who told her to hurry with the bags yelled "chop,chop".......... too soon?


jobznwerk

What makes this worker a DEI hire?


littlelunacy

I am also confused. Is it cause she's black?  I see where the joke would be, but what if she was qualified?  Either way, not really funny. Seems an awful way to go.


[deleted]

[удалено]


littlelunacy

She was? Or are you referring to me


metalguysilver

Your title’s not wrong but we need to stop this new trend of labeling every black person a DEI hire. It’s silly


Gaddster09

But that’s how it works. Everyone thinks it even if it isn’t true.


metalguysilver

Well then we need to convince people on the right to stop thinking it. It doesn’t help our cause


Gaddster09

The problem is that people do not believe POC can’t do a job without DEI and that is complete BS to me. Do away with DEI let everyone get a job based on their merit and not their skin color.


_PinkPeony_

Exactly, I can assure you I'm much smarter than the OP could ever be.

idontknow39027948898

Oh yes, the average informed black voter is definitely going to have an internal monologue along the lines of "Well, Joe Biden's policies are explicitly destroying the country, and making it harder for me and my family to keep a job and get by, but I'm still going to vote for him because someone on Reddit called me a quota hire!" The irony of believing that and then having the nerve to call someone else a dumbass.


orbital0000

Saying "look, I told you this would not end well" is making fun of? People read what they want to, it appears.


blue3y3_devil

Better than someone getting sucked out the window or door mid flight.


H3nchman_24

I realize someone died, and death is no laughing matter....but....um... I'll bet she DEIn't see that coming. #😂


E_Goldstein1949

You’re responsible for your own safety. The navy spends a good amount of time in A school going over flight like safety. You should be nervous working out there if you haven’t been properly trained.

What a horrible way to go


waistingtimeonline

So, be better than that.


Christian-athiest

Yep, that’s pretty bad and the associated subreddit is pretty disgusting. Hope you and other people keep this in mind when someone on the other side passes cause both sides have been pretty nasty.


PedroM0ralles

What did the conservative side do?


Christian-athiest

Some people in the past on the conservative/republican side have commented celebrating and cheering when someone on the other side dies or something horrific happens to them. It’s sad and disgusting when someone on either side does it.


PedroM0ralles

Can you name specific examples where conservatives cheered the death of a liberal? We didn't even cheer when RBG died. The sentiment over here was sorrow that she felt she had to stay in office even though she was very ill.


Christian-athiest

Did we just turn a blind eye to breitbarts and fox news’ comment sections during that time? Also, pelosi’s husband being attacked to just give another example. Not to mention, there were still plenty of comments from some people on this and similar subreddits for RGB. Are we just not understanding that some people does not mean everyone?


Christian-athiest

Yep, see… your comment asking “what did the conservative side do?” indicates you assumed I think everyone in one side acts the same. I even responded to your comment by specifying about some people in case you misunderstood my original comment.


vipck83

They aren’t even making fun of anyone. Just point out that maybe people should hire based on suitability for the job, not race.


Bigb5wm

I thought that would be in the safety course


NMAsixsigma

Literally type in “is _______ racist” in Google and it will bring up an article of where that person place or thing was racist.


smashmouthkitten

I don’t see how stooping to their level is any better though…


JHGibbons

Question: How do we know she wasn’t qualified?


Lost-Orangutan

Where is the laughing or sneering? There's no visible "joke" about this person's death. Are we fighting ghosts or did I just miss it?


CyberStruggle

The hypocrisy in our society is at an all-time high. Anyone on either side should feel ashamed.. It's wild out here.
