I really wish I didn't read about the Titanic submersible sub story. Especially the whataboutism defending people's bloodthirsty remarks about those perishing on board. There is a father and son on board, one of whom will likely watch the light of their consciousness flicker out before them.

I wouldn't wish any of this on my worst enemy, whoever they are or whatever their background.

Fuck.

"My side wins if your side dies" - if that's your opinion. Fuck you. You fucking soulless asshole. 

Look at yourself dead in the eyes in the mirror and evaluate your life choices if you're quietly jonesing for some people to die a long, slow, horrific death in a tight metal tube in the ocean.

And if you can't possibly suppress your inherent whataboutist response - it hardly needs spelled out, refugees dying at sea is fucking awful too.

And fuck me for even having to say that and justify a stance on this.

Tragic.

What is wrong with human circuitry that this sheer, morbid curiosity just has a hold on us? Why turn your head at a traffic accident? Why does a tragedy like this need minute to minute reporting, complete with LED countdown clock of how much air they have left until they all die?

It's the classic person claiming that "I wouldn't have gone along with the Nazi regime, I'm too morally good for that". No. You're clearly not. We're flawed from the inside out and you would have went right along with it.

I don't normally get like this, but seeing how people reacted to this story is just sad.

And here I am, a hypocrite, publicly displaying my disgust at it all. Probably for recognition in the form of internet points. This all sucks.

It really shows up the worst of ourselves. The fact that an issue like this just gets predictably split into two camps. Same old fucking thing whatever the fuck it is we're talking about.

in fact, we've straight up lost the ability to talk about ANYTHING. This just highlights it further.
