Kind of funny but feel a little iffy about seeing children facing their demise being depicted like this.
Those kids had dozens of pounds of precious gems stuffed into their clothes because their parents were so concerned for their well being and weren't trying to cling to their wealth to their last breath.
Reactionary parents always use their children as human shields, yes, that is true.
Yeah, I get why it's funny, and I understand why it happened, but I don't think we in this day should use it for lols. It would be like making wojaks of children getting killed during the Haitian revolution - I don't think there's a purpose to that kind of humor other than being edgelord shit.
To me it's like memes about 9/11, mocking the supposed sanctity of played-out atrocity porn
