Greece migrant boat disaster: More than 300 Pakistanis dead in Mediterranean tragedy, official says | CNN
And everyone posting attention to some millionaires in their submarine doing this as an option instead of as a need to get a better life, escape hunger or poverty.
Possible rescue story is more interesting than hundreds dead. It’s sad but we hear about death all the time at this point.
TBF the boat disaster could have been a rescue story as well if someone cared enough. There are two major countries naval fleets in the Atlantic, whereas the story is much different in the Mediterranean.
I think it's also because the news heavily cares about how different and interesting a story is. The sub story:
Honestly this sort of smug superiority cloaked in a thousand years of oppression is so fucking obnoxious.
Why is Europe so rich? What allows you to afford those social systems? Could it have been the systematic pillaging of the economies of the places whose refugees you now so smugly ‘decline’ helping.
The way you frame keeping people from dying at sea as some great burden to the state is fucking disgusting.
You fucking disgust me, frankly.
Capitalism at its finest
Honestly packing that many people on a boat is the same level of stupidity as a billionaire making his own submarine from parts he got at Home Depot then dying in it after repeated warnings...
