Ok so it sounds like rather than dying in a nightmarish waiting game the 5 richos died too suddenly to even be aware it was happening. which being the case can we Please stop acting like this is a bigger tragedy than shit that happens every day to Not Rich people who didn't bring this entirely on themselves?
not even just talking about the thousands of people regularly dying unjustly in the Mediterranean and the Channel because of hostile anti-refugee policies but like. it's 5 people bro. 5 people die preventable deaths every like. minute. and most of them aren't their own fucking fault or nearly as laden with irony.
keep seeing people posting the Against The Logic Of The Guillotine article about this. bro I didn't fucking kill them they killed themselves despite plenty of opportunities to not do that. nobody's doing bloody vengeance here rich people are offing themselves in an incredibly stupid and predictable way. this isn't lining your enemies up for the guillotine it's your enemies deciding they have to pay more money than most of us will ever see a fraction of for the thrill of getting a guillotine haircut and everyone's like 'you know this will kill you right? but they laugh it off, get up and pull the string themselves and their last words are 'haha wow it's so stupid that people tried to stop me getting a revolutionary haircut.' and then when you say 'holy shit what an idiotic thing to do' someone's like CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WANT TO EXECUTE MILLIONS. I don't know how to explain to you that abstract schadenfreude isn't the same thing as revenge.
#red said#yes yes boo hoo very sad#it's like when the queen died and a bunch of people were like 'BUT IT'S SAD WHEN ANYONE DIES'#bro people i don't know die every day in normal ways and it doesn't make me sad#it's sad for people who know them. i don't know these people.#and you know what tbh 'catastrophic implosion liquifies you before you know anything's wrong' is probably the BEST way to go#the human element of this. the Oh Fuck That's Awful reaction. comes from the unusual horror of waiting to die in a submarine#nobody should have to go through that tbh#but if they were pootling along and then dead seconds later? sorry man. I'm not sad about it.#I'm sure their loved ones are devastated and i take no joy in that#but someone is devastated whenever anyone dies and 4 rich idiots and a rich teenager are not the saddest deaths of even the week
