I wanted to take a moment and vent about the lack of human empathy in regard to Nautica Malone.
For those of you unaware; on January 11, 2025 a man drove through a Bikini Beans coffee shop in Tempe, Arizona, pantsless. He was recorded by a staff member inappropriately touching himself when he went through to get his coffee. Undoubtedly this wasn't his first exposure to staff members. Survived by his wife and one year old child, Nautica took his life shortly after his incident spread across social media platforms. This man may have justified his actions to himself but it doesn't overshadow that he may have been going through some mental illness or very dark times with his life. His embarrassment was so great he took away his life from his infant child and his parents who raised the man.
But the real mental illness resides in the meme culture revolving around human strife and suffering. When a society who sees a man commit suicide for embarrassing himself and his family, decides to capitalize on the event, you find yourself questioning the morality of most people using legacy media platforms. The term Goonicide arose from the fires of this event. Taken so far as to create a shitcoin pump scam called Goonicide coin. A man destroys his family and creates a void in his child's ability to know his father, yet people decide its a great time to pump and dump his life based of a meme trend?? This kid will forever go to school and be known as the goonicides baby and create a situation where they themselves might commit such a horrible act. It makes me suck to my stomach.
This is why I use NOSTR. Most people here have a soul. The content is creative and everyone is seemingly united to create a bloomscroll culture instead of doomscrolling. I'll end my rant here. I hope people can relate to my frustration in the matter. What Nautica did was wrong and should have been pursued with legal action. But the meme culture is much, much worse.
