It's Kalamata! He's the Coatlition's local olive farmer. He spends most of his time tending to his olive grove, and loving his wife Plantera and his son Gordal!

Anyways, an unfriendly reminder that a boat filled with Pakistani, Syrian, Palestinian, and Afghan refugees capsized off of the coast of Greece and the Greek coast guard not only initially didn’t do a thing, but once they finally did, ended up making it worse due to not towing the boat properly. The lower decks had the most casualties, and “coincidentally”, were where the refugees were crammed.

over 700 passengers on that boat. Less than 100 survived. Many more missing, and the death toll unsaid yet.

But it’s the unimaginable hubris and stupidity of the rich and this one company, headed by this guy who whole ass said “safety is just pure waste”, who’s shitty fucking submersible is so unsafe and unauthorized that it can’t even be called a submarine, exploding like it was honestly destined to that gets hourly media coverage, millions of taxpayer dollars wasted for a search, and gets unneeded pity for the idiots who signed up for it.

Okay.

What we need to do is focus on what matters, even after it’s off the headlines. Even when the government brushes it aside. Donate to reputable search-and-rescue organizations such as SOS humanity or SOS méditerranée or alarm phone (amongst others, and any other organizations dedicated to this crisis), and spread awareness/add onto this post if you can’t.

hey friendly reminder that “the loss of any human life is an inherent tragedy” and “the ≤1% paying a quarter of a mil. a head and signing a contract that explicitly mentions ‘death’ to disturb a mass grave while shoved in a literal bluetooth cheap-ass metal cylinder made by a company that eschews safety got exactly what they signed up for” AND “we shouldn’t have wasted taxpayer money to find a crumpled up Pringle’s can during several refugee crises” are all opinions that can and should co-exist.

Of course, we shouldn’t be so gleeful in their horrific deaths, especially there was a literal teenager that didn’t even want to go in there. Internet anonymity be damned, it’s the death of basic empathy. And of course, we should rightfully be outraged that watching a bunch of ultra-rich blow their money to do something objectively incredibly stupid (to a MASS GRAVE with human fucking bone dust and preserved shoes, I cannot stress enough) is what’s hitting headlines and what people care about.

However, if you have any sort of basic human decency and a morality view more complex than that of a six year old, I’m sure you can easily reconcile all three valid opinions.
