Titanic submersible es morte
I understand having that instinct/reaction to this. I also understand it's a pretty common amongst certain people that have absolutely no business engaging in moral grandstanding. And I understand once more that this instinct will not be felt by said people in many other instances where moral objection is much more appropriate.
I think it’s a natural product of dramatic concentration of wealth. Is any of it actually moral?
The 10 richest people in the world own more than the bottom 3.5 billion people. That’s almost half of the world population. I think some cynicism is forgivable. Yes those billionaires died but somewhere between 10k and 15k people starved today. And yesterday.
I’m not saying any of it is right or wrong, but it does indeed seem to be a symptom of something larger that is very real.
its not moral, under any circumstances, Super, to act and behave in a despicable, immoral manner saying on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media that their glad they died, or deserved to die, just because as El Caliente mentioned earlier, their just “evil rich people”. It reveals a not-too-favorable element or irrational side of some people’s dispositions they engage in this kind of wish-casting when we forget from a fundamental human level, these are human beings some of these angry trolls are gleefully lapping up their demises. What about the 19-year old son of that Pakistani billionaire who will now never grow to manhood, follow in his father’s footsteps or mark his own path in the world, get married and raise a family? That never happens, now.
If that same cynicism starts leading to others devaluating human life, no matter their intentions or beliefs surrounding it, then we as a human race haven’t really learned or evolved that much since Stalin’s purges, gulags, or Pol Pot’s “Killing Fields”. If we let class envy, hatred get out of control, it can often lead to violent, massive upheavals in society. The French Revolution is a great example, the Russian Revolution is an even better, brutal, ruthless and excessive one. Many of the condemned “criminals” guillotined during Robespierre’s “Reign of Terror” were just ordinary people who disagreed with Robespierre’s handling of the economy, treatment of French citizens, civilians and who hadn’t committed a crime at all other than just fell under Robespierre’s Committee of Public Safety.
