This is not a meme, but a reminder of a terrible time and this particular event. Post it in a history community, but not here. Why would we find something so sad funny?
It is in bad taste. To say the least.
I found it funny.
Yup, I messed up and didn't realize some folks wouldn't read the caption below.
Next time I'll have the caption included in the picture so as to avoid confusion.
The caption is there. But that doesn't even matter. That isn't the point. Point is the attitude towards the image, what it stands for and that it shouldn't be used like this.
Using images of people suffering to make fun of a current situation is insensitive and disrespectful to the people who were suffering at the time. It also trivializes the situation and makes light of something that is serious and important. Essentially it isn't ethical to use an image like this to make a point like yours.
It's similar to someone posting a picture of a starving child and captioning it with "how I feel when I'm on diet." It's inappropriate, disrespectful and offensive.
Frankly, this post should be deleted for the same reasons.
Jesus fucking Christ is this Sunday school or something? Just move on if you don't get it
Despite the rustled jimmies in this thread, I don't really care what people post in a fucking 'memes' channel. However, you should know the caption does show up in sync and doesn't make it any better. This might help clear things up:

I guess OP just had a glitch or some other bug.
I don't see a caption on Sync.
Interesting! Does Sync usually not display captions/titles of posts?
It has the title but if you had some other text it doesn't show up.
It doesn't show up in Boost for Lemmy on Android either.
Must depend on appearance settings. I'm using boost on Android as well and I saw the title
