I'm furious about the money & international effort spent on both the causes of the desperate migration of refugees, and the money & effort spent to block and punish rescuers & refugees alike, and to force rescuers to leave thousands of people to die.

A couple billionaires drown on an $$$ and ill-advised tourist trip and it's tragedy. Thousands of refugees die and it's punishment for their crime of what? Color of their skin? Location of their birth? The amount of capital they don't own?

If you're concerned about the billionaires but can't have the slightest amount of compassion for refugees drowning at sea, you're the problem.

I'm looking at every nation, media outlet, and yes, Billionaire, that gives this amount of coverage, money, and international resources to this rescue operation but contribute to the opposite to migrants fleeing oppression and violence.

@gdeihl Billionaires don't make money from wages, they make it from hoarding capital and exploiting the wage labor of others who have no choice but to be exploited.

Billionaires should not exist. Wage labor should not exist. Capitalism should not exist.

Hey @revoluciana, for the past 3 years my friend @tio has been working on this documentary called TROM II and its finally out now, it showcases these volunteer organizations who rescue refugees at the sea, along with many other humanitarian projects around the world. Its hard for me to summarize the entire documentary because there's a lot in it, but I have a feeling you're gonna like it so I'm sharing it here - https://www.tromsite.com/documentaries/trom2/

It is free to watch and there are no ads either 🙂
