DISGUSTING: Search for Titanic submersible unleashes 'eat the rich' sentiment
online
I noted this and had arguments about this over on Mastodon (which has a
decided Left tilt, as you may or may not know, as compared with
Twitter's now far Right tilt). Apparently these people don't care that
these now deceased persons had families (one of the dead is the young son
of another passenger), other loved ones, friends -- and to show no
respect for any of these groups is sick, no matter how one feels about
income inequality or the focus of the news on dramatic tragic stories
rather than more important and tragic mundane ones involving far more
persons.
These seem to often be the same commenters who argue that ALL
corporations are evil (no exceptions!), and often that charities are
evil as well.
Frankly, I'm growing tired of the rapid decay in social media, and that
plus the coming onslaught of government regulations and content controls
and ID requirements, etc. have me seriously considering pulling the plug
on ALL of these platforms. Life is too short for this disease,
irrespective of how much enjoyment and even education one receives via
them from time to time. -L
