I see a lot of comments from bootlickers on how the protests are dumb and stupid and dont work and engagement metrics are still holding but the quality of posts and comments has noticeably depreciated imo. So much so that whenever I visit the site Im actually shocked at how bad it is.
What’s goes around, comes around… That sentiment is not coming from a no where. Note how people didn’t say similar staff about refugee boat sinking and actually calling media out for lopsided coverage.
These views only get more extreme as social fabric and economic conditions of the working people degrade.
These people spent more than most people will ever save up in their lifetime for a one time ride in a tube. Money that could go to feeding people, planting trees, etc. They had the US Coast Guard and Navy looking for them with helicopters and sonar buoys. One of them was a billionaire who could have done it right like Victor Vascovo, but instead chose to pinch pennies and ride in the Home Depot special.
They cost society massively, they won’t pay shit for inheritance tax, their families will remain wealthier than I can ever dream of being. I make decent money and I drive past houses with river views and hot tubs and pools and boats and all sorts of rich people stuff I know I’ll never have, those people can’t dream of the amount of money these people have. I feel bad for the kid, that’s about it.
Not to mention the fact that they are thrill-seeking at a mass grave where a horrific tragedy occurred. Similar circumstances, too. The first class survivor ratio compared to the “steerage” survivors… Kind of like how we pulled out all the stops for these rich fucks but can’t be bothered by a boat full of refugees. It’s a sign of the times and people have a right to be livid about it.
Very eloquently put BongRipsMcGee420, my next smoke session will be in your honor
Silver lining: if not for these guys creating an actual need for search and rescue, the USCG would have to perform search-and-rescue drills at similar cost anyway.
Or so I’ve heard. 🤷♂️
damn dawg… i guess after all, these clowns are the JoB cReAtOrZ that we peasants don’t deserve
