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
