In case you were wondering how screwed we all are:

The fossil fuel industry has successfully completed their infiltration and takeover of the COP climate conference. The president of COP 28 is going to be an Oil CEO.

Billions of people are going to die but the rich don’t care so long as they can maintain the status quo and continue lining their pockets.

And I’m supposed to feel bad that a couple of them got themselves squished on a voluntary trip to the bottom of the ocean???

hey friendly reminder that “the loss of any human life is an inherent tragedy” and “the ≤1% paying a quarter of a mil. a head and signing a contract that explicitly mentions ‘death’ to disturb a mass grave while shoved in a literal bluetooth cheap-ass metal cylinder made by a company that eschews safety got exactly what they signed up for” AND “we shouldn’t have wasted taxpayer money to find a crumpled up Pringle’s can during several refugee crises” are all opinions that can and should co-exist.

Of course, we shouldn’t be so gleeful in their horrific deaths, especially there was a literal teenager that didn’t even want to go in there. Internet anonymity be damned, it’s the death of basic decency. And of course, we should rightfully be outraged that watching a bunch of ultra-rich blow their money to do something objectively incredibly stupid (to a MASS GRAVE with human fucking bone dust and preserved shoes, I cannot stress enough) is what’s hitting headlines and what people care about.

However, if you have any sort of basic human decency and a morality view more complex than that of a six year old, I’m sure you can easily reconcile all three valid opinions.

"noone deserves to die like that" yes the fuck they do. Bilionares aren't people. Fuck rich people i hope they all die. Nothing but vermin. You all talk about "eating the rich" but when a billionaire actually gets what they deserve (and what they signed up for themselves) its "noo omg you aren't compassionate enough :(((" to these people that would not give 2 shits if it was you who died. You do not become a billionaire ethically. You do not those people were evil. The only one i feel remotely bad for is that kid, he didn't even want to go. But the rest of them? Good fucking riddance

Good afternoon, this video made me thoroughly unwell. Also, what in the Simon Fairchild fuck is Stockton Rush.

the sheer emotional whiplash I'm experiencing rn-

bc on the one hand, this shit is the scariest and most absolutely hellish thing i can really imagine rn.

like.

they are slowly suffocating in a bolted metal chamber under the ocean with fewer people than you can count on a hand, all while ankle deep in human waste, likely resorting to cannibalism, being forced to listen to "my heart with go on" on loop, unable to contact the surface, and knowing their fate is entirely their own.

and at the same time, these fucking shit stains spent more money on a twisted excuse to capitalize a horrific tragedy for the sake of their own entertainment than it would probably take to rescue and integrate the hundreds of refugees currently drowning at sea. they are at the mercy of their own hubris and the egotistical belief that money and status defies physics. their blinding faith in their own name and coin is the only thing to blame for their shared coffin.

they are scum of the earth, the root of the problem, a laughingstock of the worst of our capitalist society.

and yet--- they are people.

they are human beings, dying in one of the worst ways imaginable, and to feel anything but sympathy for them feels like such an unbelievable failure of my own person.

but also i want to laugh in their faces as they sink in the murky depths.

but no one deserves this- if anyone does though, it would be them.

I have as much empathy for billionaires who die at the bottom of the ocean as they have for people who die because they can’t afford basic necessities needed to live

Listen there are a lot of things I find funny about the whole lost submarine thing that’s happening right now but probably the funniest is the fact that up until about five minutes ago I thought that when everyone was tagging oceangate they were making a joke like a watergate reference but no the sub is actually named oceangate and honestly that was the scandal waiting to happen what were they thinking??

Titan: Don't Fuck With the Ocean

So this has been delayed, and everyone and their mother has already commented on this. We’re well past the virality mark on this topic. But whatever, I want to crack in and get this thing wrapped up anyways. For context, I study mechanical and manufacturing engineering. I’ve grown up around submarines with my dad being an engineer on US Navy subs, and I was able to ask him about this. I’ve also got a diving cert and enough experience living coastal to at least get me a knowledgeable respect for the ocean. Being 60 ft under should instill that, at least. 

I will not make any comments on any of the other four victims. However, I reserve the right to be fully derogatory to the CEO who died in the submersible, Stockton Rush, for his disgusting flippancy towards safety in such a dangerous environment as 4,000m below sea level, for disregarding multiple warnings against the project, and for subjecting other passengers to this. I intended to start with my favorite source on this, but it looks like I’m beginning with spite. I claim that in engineering, if safety disregards don’t immediately boil your blood, you have to turn in your card. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65998914 “Titan sub CEO dismissed safety warnings as 'baseless cries', emails show” Some people may have seen the quote “At some point, safety just is pure waste,” Stockton told journalist David Pogue in an interview last year. “I mean, if you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed. Don’t get in your car. Don’t do anything.” Stockton Rush has typed "We have heard the baseless cries of 'you are going to kill someone' way too often," he wrote. "I take this as a serious personal insult." *Frankly*, the response to this should very much not be personal insult, but a call to action. There is no reason to take this personally. “I have broken some rules to make this…The carbon fiber and titanium, there is a rule that you don’t do that. Well, I did.” 

“At some point safety just is pure waste…I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.”

“[The sub industry is] obscenely safe, because they have all these regulations…But it also hasn’t innovated or grown—because they have all these regulations.”

This is gruesomely hilarious when you remember the CEO isn’t the actual person running the stress tests, manufacturing it, checking materials charts and costs, calculating max tolerances, or anything else. He’s the little funny man with the money and the reputation who tells people do what he wants anyways. He has no right to play maverick when he is hardly doing any of the work, and especially when it involves other innocent people. While he has a bachelor’s in aerospace engineering, a very commendable thing to get, that’s not what he does hands on as the CEO, and aerospace does not directly translate to submersible understanding. You do not get to be flippant with other peoples’ lives. These comments would be bad enough for anything on the surface, or even in the sky. But again, the ocean is a completely different beast, where it is much more difficult for emergency services to reach people.

As well as this, I need to state the difference between submersible and submarine. If I don’t, I feel the entire US Navy breathe down my neck. It’s like boat vs ship. Submersible: needs to be supported by a vessel up top, not designed for long term deployments. Smol boy. Submarine: can be operated independently, can go on six month or so deployments. Big boy. Going forward, the primary difficulties of the ocean are first and foremost the atmospheres of pressure on the vehicle. The dangers of no breathing air in the ocean are of course, a major issue, but the pressure of the ocean will be what breaks this and makes that lack of air a huge issue. A submersible needs to be properly pressurized to withstand the changes and keep the passengers inside also safe. The ocean is also very difficult to reach communication through. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcmc/2019/6470359/, so the submersible losing connection isn’t entirely unsurprising. But other factors listed here lead to its delay.

if someone wrote and turned in prose about elitists-and the one who desperately didn’t want to go but did so to appease his father-fatally paying for their moral misdeeds because of their blissful ignorance while aboard a submersible called the Titan to visit (disturb) the gravesite of the Titanic…

…AND the outside world devoting funds, resources, and energy to that occurrence rather than seemingly obvious other tragedies happening

every teacher, professor, proofreader, editor, and most anyone would send it back and say it’s too heavy handed of an allegory

Hot take: the people who say you’re a terrible person for not empathizing with the billionaires who died in a tin can 4,000 ft below, and the people who call you a bootlicker for empathizing with the billionaires who died in a tin can 4,000 ft below, are both annoying
