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.

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.

lol bro. You don't have to like the rich class to have basic human empathy for other people

[–] smokinjoe@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not saying you can't have empathy for other people. I'm saying you should probably understand better as to why people have the reaction they do

Because people like to act shallow and just put other people into grouos they hate regardless of actually knowing anyone form that group?

Gee, that's always works well for everyone.

murderers are a group.

should they have the receive the same level of empathy, of say, teachers. also a group.
