Our reading
A streamer joked about ICE agents getting hurt, comparing it to a funny video compilation. It’s one thing to mock the government, but mocking people getting hurt is like laughing at a car crash—except the crash is real and the people involved are doing their job.
It’s not just the joke that’s offensive, it’s the way it’s delivered: like a stand-up comedian who forgot the audience was made of people who actually work for the government. The crowd laughed, but the real question is: who’s paying for the hip bone replacements?
Now the streamer’s got a new fanbase: people who think laughing at injuries is a political statement. Maybe next he’ll make a meme about firefighters getting burned. That’ll really show them.
