    You’re correct. I feel far worse for the refugees than the billionaires in the sub. But that being said i feel awful for the 19 year old on that ship. I know i would have said yes too because how many people can say “im going on holiday to the titanic” sounds great in concept. He may have been a rich kid but still a kid.

      He is 19, he should be old enough to come to a reasonable conclusion that his family if profiting off of the suffering of the Pakistani people. He lived overseas, far away from the problem and I bet if you find his social media pages they are full of expensive things that you would never be able to get in Pakistan.

      Edit- it’s very evident that none of you have lived in an impoverished country before. I hate to use this word, but the privilege here is palpable.

        So it’s not ok to care that a kid died because of some nebulous idea about stuff his dad has done? I’m sure there’s at least a grain of truth in what you’ve said but that’s still a pretty toxic worldview in my opinion.

        No, he shouldn’t be. You really have no idea what you’re talking about.
