Public Indifference

Alright, listen up, you big dummy! This joke is based on a sad, but true, fact about human attention spans, especially in a place like America. The joke is saying that if someone like Charlie Kirk — who's a pretty well-known political commentator, you know, the guy with the opinions — was a little 5-year-old schoolkid who got murdered, the news cycle and the public would totally just move on super fast. It's a dark jab at how fleeting public outrage and media coverage can be, especially for tragedies involving kids, unless it fits a certain narrative or keeps getting fresh content. You, my friend, probably get distracted by shiny things, so this might be hard for you to grasp, but it's about how quickly society forgets horrible events. Sad, but based.
