There's so much irony in the fact that the world's resources were mobilised to save 5 people while 2 major incidents involving the death of a lot of migrants was happening. First the Greece incident, now this.
for most human beings your worth is your bank account/assets.
those who have everything are superhuman figures, those who have nothing, are sub-human.
hence we waste millions to save a few rich people, but the immigrants can fuck right off and die, we won't lift a finger or even cherish a thought.
it's incredibly fucked up when you think about it. but vast majority do not think. they simple bootlick and worship at the alter of the wealthy as if they were gods.
In Italy we have now compassion fatigue. It is just so overwhelming that we've become desensitized. Thousands of lives are saved, and lost, year on year, and nothing ever changes. The migrant plight has become both a business and a political stance to take advantage of on all sides.
Aside of those poor souls, there are no good guys in this fucked up mess. Do not be surprised, also, if the Titan wreck makes the news and the loss of 1000+ people in the space of a summer doesn't.
Because news are not subsidised anymore and need to run on money, views and paper sales.
A wreck on an iconic wreck site generates views.
The n-th migrant shipwreck does not generate views anymore (compassion fatigue, remember) unless you stick to it the picture of a dead child's body washed ashore.
It's cynical, and I hate it, but it's how it is.
Was it really the world's resources and not just the Coast Guards of the two closest countries, exactly the same as with these migrants?
