It consists of screenshots of post after post of people denying the various risks of the current pandemic, share ignorant memes and misinformation only to have a follow up post that they eventually died from it. The tone of some posters and commenters range from sympathetic to mocking, but the overall tone of everything just feels so cold, as if this is its own niche ideological 2 minutes of hate. I find that mocking or cheering their deaths, even if there are some self apparent ironies in their situation, I feel as though I would be cheering for that same destructive system only pointed in a different direction.</p>
