#YAAAY ZERO DAYS SINCE OUR LAST TAG

[flagellant]

Figure out if you like and want to shill for rich people or not. They don't care if we die on the streets, if we starve, if we stuffer. They have no guilt for abusing, using, and exploiting us for their gains. You think the original union organizers and protestors "felt bad" for boiling people alive in tar. Do you think they "felt bad" about displacing oligarchical classes. Stop moralizing and get your shit straight. A bunch of dipshit capitalists may well be dead. A win is a win. And no I dont care how scary it is, because all they've done is make this world more hostile and terrifying for everyone else, for their benefit; they, as a social class, are a predator species that most leftists with two brain cells would recognize thebloss of as a net gain. My only empathy goes to any potential crew who arent venture capitalists and thus not actively making the world worse.

My dude, 4 guys able to pay 200 grand, one of their 19 year old children, and a pilot they hired dying a pointless death due to lack of regulatory capacity to stop it from happening isn't a win in the class war, and I'd appreciate if you stop acting like it was.

You say "My only empathy goes to any potential crew [...]" but like. There was crew. There was also a teenager. You clearly aren't actually aware of the actual people on board other than this vague idea that, somehow, a shitty submersible with 6 random vaguely successful motherfuckers on it being lost at sea is this massive victory against the rich. Is it? Is anything actually happening if these people die? Is anything actually coming out of it?

And like, again, I'm not exactly gung-ho about defending people who spent more for one ticket onto the deathtrap than I'll see in my next 20 years minimum, don't get it twisted. But your whole mindset is the issue I'm having with this situation, because it's just so blatantly clear that you don't actually have any empathy to the victims of this, because even the people you'd apparently feel sad about only exist in a hypothetical to you: You feel empathetic for the potential crew that were predated upon (just like everyone else onboard was, btw). You don't feel empathy for the literal pilot, because you've apparently decided to make this about Eating The Rich and not about "Oh my God, there is no fucking way this should have been able to happen to begin with, we need to do whatever it takes to make sure it can't happen to anyone ever again."

By the way, you mention the battle for Blair Mountain obliquely--do you not find it ironic that you're deciding to try and pick a fight with someone saying "The issue here is that capitalism's encouragement of no regulations allowed a business to send a deep sea submersible piloted by a logitech playstation controller down to the titanic for clout, potentially costing 6 human beings their lives"? And do you actually find "a horrific tragedy that could have been avoided if better labor laws and regulations were able to keep pace with tech startup insanity" equivalent to "laborers waging a literal war against people trying to shoot them for demanding their rights to safety as workers"?
