Thoughts on the billionaires in submarine thing (OceanGate)

Rich people live completely frictionless lives, bereft of meaning, so they seek out or create artificial adversity, and, predictably, many are horribly injured or killed. And I think that's beautiful.
Couldn't care less, they paid for the risk, they got what they paid for. Their death very slightly decreased income inequality in the world 😂
I hear the teen son didn't really want to go, he just wanted to make his Dad happy.
Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to have children.
Yeah I feel bad for that kid. Sure, his privilege was imeasurable, but he was 19, didn't want to go, and was talked into it by his dad. As a dad, anything that involves tragic shit related to kids just sends me to a sad mournful place. Even this.

Two weeks before 600 hundred people died in the Mediterranean trying to reach Europe through Greece, hoping for a better life, and no one cared about them. Then a touristic submarine full with shitty people that doesn't know what to do with their stolen money (every rich person is a thief, if you have money above a certain amount you are stealing from society) explode, and the whole world cares about getting them back. Me, I say to send more rich people down the ocean, and I hope this is only the beginning: touristic space travels also promise interesting developments in this direction.
Space tourism is a hugely inefficient way for a handful of billionaires at a time to pop half way to orbit. There are much cheaper and less environmentally destructive ways of achieving a similar result.
A tragedy, not because of the 4 that were destroyed in the submarine, but for every other worthy cause in the world that was overshadowed by it in the media for the week that it occupied the world's interest. Most experts knew on day 1 that they were dead but media chose to ignore them and hype up a non-existent rescue effort for easy engagement and clicks, while failing to do the responsible thing and report on things that matter.
The only good billionaire is a dead one
Lol. Lmao. Let's send more
Reminds me of that sketch The Expert. Seems like the gist of it is analogous to he wanted to draw seven red lines, strictly perpendicular, some with green ink and some with transparent ink, and when the expert told him that's impossible, he said, "I am richguyinnovator, hear me roar!" And reality did what reality tends to do.
Also seemed like the media was trying really hard to turn it into some kind of real life version of The Martian, when it was pretty clear from the start it was over for those people and there was nothing heroic or brave about what the guy running it was doing; just needlessly playing on the razor's edge of existence, living out a delusion of human supremacy over nature. I almost want to say it's like a microcosm of capitalism as a whole in that way. The way it acts like it can dominate nature somehow, while ecosystems we depend on face collapse as a result of the unsustainable systemic practices.
Humans dying is always bad, there's no reason to be happy about it.
Some dead millionaires doesn't make communism any closer, and the rest is just a vent for anger at them.
Still, I feel like their riches blew the story out of the proportion. Would it be a few regular people, no one would notice.
"We'll kill all our enemies and their voice will never be heard again" is a dead end policy, because all those ideas will emerge again, and we better know how to counter them on an ideological level.
I'm not saying the transition to the communist society will be peaceful and nice - it won't be - but we should differentiate between the armed resistance and brutal oppression. You won't shut them up. But you can make your voice heard loud.
