The sub went missing while carrying five people to the wreckage of the Titanic.

    good. hopefully the media can stop pushing this nonsense 24/7. i wonder if the families will pay for the millions of dollars wasted in searching for these selfish idiots? who knowingly signed up for this death trap?

    at least emergency services in my area charge idiots for rescues. fuck around in the White mountains and you can end up paying six figures or more for a rescue. which is as it should be. they don’t however, charge for legitimate rescues.

      This complete and utter lack of compassion is something I’d expect to see on Reddit. How unfortunate this mindset seems to have tagged along in the migration. Show some damn humanity.

        Agreed, and the fact that the hateful parent comment is still sitting at the top of the thread also makes me concerned for kbin’s ranking algorithm.

        At the moment it has 28 “upvotes” and 51 “downvotes,” which on reddit would have it buried and hidden at the bottom. Here it’s remained the top comment since the article was posted.

        Possibly because it has three “boosts”? I don’t understand the difference between boosts and votes. But this site is going to have to do something about it, because normal people are going to run from this place if this kind of sociopathic content is elevated here.

        I have zero compassion for people who claim any safety measures taken are ridiculous, pay extraoridinary amounts of money to do something stupid, and potentially cause the death of a young kid.

        And then waste extraordinary resources in public funding to “fix” it.

        Hope these families get charged for every dollar.

          exactly. these people are a blight on society. why should so many resources be wasted on their egos just because they have fat bank accounts?

          sadly too many people are bootlickers who think the wealthy and their awful lifestyles are something to be worshipped. i would wager most of the empathy pushers here have zero empathy for the migrants on the boats… because those people had no wealth.

          sad truth is we live in a world where your moral worth or empathy worth is directly tied to your financial worth. a few rich people dying is a tragedy to dwell on, hundreds of poor people dying is not worth a thought.

            I personally think the empathy pushers are just bad faith actors.

            Misplaced empathy (if genuine) is just as nuclear as fascist takeover.

            Empathizing with the utterly cruel and utterly dumb is how you can’t tell anymore who is truly kind and generous.

              yep. they are the ones whining and saying ‘why can’t we bury/block/ignore this bad person and their bad comments’.

              the people who police negativity are the ones who are subscribe to proto fascism because the underlining feeling/though is ‘get in line or get lost’.

              they don’t have empathy, they just have moralizing/policing of empathy to boost themselves up and put down others, because they live a fragile and delusional world that cannot tolerate difference of opinion or perspective.

              the shittiest part of reddit is how so many subs an the entire site became overrun with people who have the mentality of toddlers and start going around policing the ‘always be nice to everyone at all times’ and ‘don’t say anything that might upset someone’ and fail to see how fucked up and facist that sort of regime always becomes as it marginalizes anyone outside of the dominate group and often perpetuates destructive points of view.

              or even more simple, it’s the people who have ‘empathy’ for the homeless but pass laws criminalizing homelessness and refuse to allow shelters or other resources in their communities. feeling bad for someone doesn’t make you a good person. doing good things does.

        The complete and utter lack of understanding as to why people may react in the way the person you’re replying to boggles my mind. Are you willfully ignorant of how destructive billionaires can be on society? Are you completely neglecting how negligent the CEO of this diving company was about their own safety?

        Instead of wagging your finger from your pedestal, spend some time understanding why so many people share this type of reaction.

      “good” “selfish idiots”

      Such disregard for life is unjustifiable and inexcusable - I don’t know what values you aspire to live by, but celebrating death or wishing punitive suffering on anyone is certain to perpetuate harm.

      It’s tragic that people died regardless of the lives they lead. I have no love for the ultra wealthy, and this event overshadowing the capsized migrant boat highlights our collective hypocrisy, but celebrating death & suffering is a self-destructive and socially regressive action that I hope fewer people do. Instead of directing your ire towards the individuals who died I hope that you and other readers direct that frustration towards the systemic failures those individuals embodied, and I hope you find a way use that anger for constructive action towards a better world.
