Is it ever good form to gloat about someone's health problems.

There is a politician who has major health problems and is probably going to die. I don't like his politics. I came across today, a load of people gloating about his health problems and saying that his impending demise was 'karma'. It's just really distasteful, whatever your political views. Where is the humanity?

It's really disturbing because this kind of tribalism is just beyond the pale. A political opponent is now no longer a person. "I disagree with his politics, so now I will point and laugh as he dies."

It's chilling to see how far this stuff has gone. Particularly when many of these people are devout Christians.

@CountScrofula I agree but I'm not sure the alt right has much to do with Christianity. It's sentiments are vindictive and nihilistic. It's motivated by resentment and insecurity, not a God delusion.

@Burnley123 Oh absolutely, I just mean members on here specifically. The alt right will take Christians and atheists alike.
