The 5 seconds you spent making a snide response could have been used to just add an informative link instead. And doing that would have the potential to inform people and bring them to your side. Hundreds of lurkers aren’t going to look up the totally unknown thing you’re upset about, especially when you’re being antagonistic. They’re just going to dismiss you and your message and move on to the next post. But if your goal is to feel superior and dunk on folks who are less informed about US current events than you, then: great job! keep up the good work!

The story that OP, myself and countless other USians are upset about (among so many other daily awful events): # Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmy0r96xygx6o

    I don’t care for holding peoples hands. It’s a pretty major story. One can’t avoid see this unless they are intentionally avoiding it. And if they are, then they need to see posts like this with the hopes that it might influence them to start paying attention.

    This effect all of us.
