#begging the rest of the world to stop overlooking the Pakistani migrants that were lost

[welcometoqueer]

the tonal whiplash is jarring from the way tumblr (and reddit refugees) talk about the submersible vs the way twitter, the news, and the government talks about it

like yeah we’re making fun of it but we still recognize it’s a horrible way to go out…they still (mostly) brought this on themselves tho

on the other hand, everyone else is like “it’s a tragedy, we need to divert all our resources and attention to this specific situation, if you don’t feel extreme sympathy and kinship for these people then you’re a terrible person”

the best example I can think of that shows what I’m talking about is how we all think it’s incredibly funny that the stepson of one of the billionaires on board went to a Blink-182 concert during search efforts while most people on twitter were clutching their pearls like “oh, he doesn’t care, how horrible that’s he’s continuing to live his life and not pray these poor, rich souls”

and ik if someone said this on somewhere like twitter people would accuse them of putting one cause above others but seriously, what about literally anything else happening, like the thousands of migrants lost at sea that are being overlooked because of these billionaires who absolutely knew the risks when they agreed (also, the only cause in this situation was a lost cause from the start, that is, if we’re gonna call anything to do with billionaire lifestyles a “cause”)

anyways,

sink the rich

yes, human empathy and all that but billionaires aren’t people and you’re not a horrible person for laughing at or making fun of this situation where the odds, nature, and literally everything else that could be were absurdly stacked against these five from the beginning

#you’re not awful for laughing #we need to show the news and government that we care more about anything other than billionaires #billionaires should not exist #billionaires aren’t people #begging the rest of the world to stop overlooking the Pakistani migrants that were lost #they should give the billionaires money to the families of the Pakistani migrants #would love to hear your thoughts #idk just thoughts #i hope i make sense #i hope i worded this right #if I didn’t explain well enough lmk and I’ll try again #the concert thing is SO funny tho #Pakistani migrants #lost submersible #missing submersible #titan submersible #oceangate submersible #the Titan #titanic #oceangate #oceangategate #twitter #reddit #reddit refugees welcome #Reddit refugees #196 #196 campfire #tumblr #news
