The rich also have the power to have the media depict them as main characters suffering an unfortunate death. The workers that die every day under their hubris don’t get that and instead are viewed as a nameless number.

It is kind of funny but also kind of horrifying just how thoroughly these people owned thermselves and set themselves up for one of the most horrifically claustrophobic and depressing deaths imaginable, just no innate sense of self-preservation to even whisper “no”…like just on a human level it makes me worry how badly I might one day own myself

I feel no sympathy for billionaires, but I think that I can still think that suffocating to death while starving and dehydrated in a dark metal tube sounds horrifying despite no people of value being lost.

There are no non-evil billionaires. Their very existence is predicated upon mass poverty and death

And the diver dude Paul-Henry Nargeolet was 77 so, an easy sacrifice.

I don’t know if I’d say that. He seemed like the only normal person on that submarine, but also he’s been diving to the Titanic since 1987 and I’m reading he’s visited the wreckage more than anyone else.

So he should have known better to simply strap into a vessel as unsafe as that one.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
