Was just thinking about the whole situation and the internet’s response.

Nobody seems sad or remorseful, I’ve even seen tags like #compresstherich. This should be a scary omen for the wealthy, people don’t really care about, and some are actively rejoicing in, such a horrible (albiet very avoidable) death.

Edit : Just to be clear, I also don’t feel very bad for them, just commenting on how this is a clear “sign of the times” so to speak. (Edit: as in it’s a sign that the people are reaching the breaking point)

One last Edit: I’ve been reading a lot of comments and replying on some of them, I honestly just wanted some discussion on this is all. I am not actively celebrating this and I do think it’s a tragedy, especially the 19yo boy who was a victim of circumstances. But I am also conflicted and have a hard time feeling sympathy for the rich people for many of the same reasons you all have mentioned. They actively made poor choices and were in the position they were in because of taking advantage of others. I can maybe understand how some people think the way they do, as when you are abused, chained down and essentially dying from an abusive system, you tend to have nothing left inside of you but hatred and anger.

I can also concede that it’s possibly not the majority opinion, I just noticed that from all the people who have talked to or told me about this, and all the social media I’ve seen it’s been a lot more of a wide spread opinion than I was anticipating. That’s why I said it seems telling. I will also concede that it could just be general Internet shenanigans/assholery/tragedy coping.

I want a better system, and I’d prefer that it could be achieved without hatred and violence, but this situation was just telling on why I’m doubtful it will be.
