Profe Diego@RadicalGraffiti the only one I have empathy is for the kid who did not want to go. :(
kortskalle@marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti He was a 19 year old millionaire.
Dausora@kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Doesn't necessarily make him a bad person just for being rich, he got all that money from his dad. He was still a kid.
@7 @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Legally an adult. LOL I'm probably more of a "bad person" according to people like you, for not having sympathy to spare for the rich.
@kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti I hate the rich as much as the next person, but 'legally an adult' and being a kid aren't mutually exclusive. Life's much too confusing to figure out for someone at that age, he still had a LOT more to learn. Could have ended up being a better person than his dad.
I wouldn't call lacking empathy for the rich being a bad person, either. Most rich people are abhorrent. But he didn't get his money by owning slaves in cobalt mines or anything like that, he was just born to a more wealthy family than most. That's not his choice. We can't say whether he was a horrible person or not, because we have no way of knowing what he would have been like the older he got.
I'm not defending the rich here. I'm defending a kid who died because he wanted to make his rich, insensible dad happy.
@kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti Guess next time he should just be born into poverty, his fault for choosing his family 🤷♀️
And based on your replies here, I wholeheartedly believe that you haven't matured since age nineteen, so I can see your logic. But considering most peoples' brains aren't fully developed until mid twenties, there's a LOT of room for change.
Bottom line, I think it's sad that someone so young died. And I think it's absolutely despicable that the CEO of the company decided that his £250k joyride was more important than safety.
I hope you have a nice rest of your day.
Ibex@7 @kortskalle @marsaeternum @RadicalGraffiti in fact, you are defending the rich. Another option would be to express your sorrow for the children and grown-up refugees that died in the Mediterranean.
@Ibex @7 @kortskalle @RadicalGraffiti you all are so fucked up. Twitter came full force here.
1. He did not want to go.
2. Everyone wants to have money, even me, coming from a low income family.
3. Being poor does not make you evil, your actions do.
I agree on tax the rich to death and all, but just saying he deserved it only for that is insane. Complete apathy.
