“the submarine trip was stupid and rooted in classism”, “it’s absolutely hideous how much more manpower was put into saving and reporting on them vs the 500 migrants who died in a similar horrible fashion”, and “despite their actions, no human being (especially not a nineteen year old) should deserve to die like this, especially when their death will not actually herald any positive change/abolishment of the billionaire class” are three thoughts than can and should coexist. you don’t have to mourn their deaths, but you don’t need to celebrate them, either.

#oceangate #titan #leftism #like 'eat the rich' is all well and good but only when positive change is going to be made #talk and laugh about it all you want #but let's not wish death on people when such death isn't necessary #let's talk about the real issues (the manpower put into rescuing this people vs the migrants)#and the abuse of safety regulations by huge corporations
