one of the things that is difficult abt the internet is that sometimes when something is so ubiquitous, it becomes very difficult to talk abt having a different feeling abt it without people you know thinking you are vagueposting them. so, i want to make it clear that this post is abt my personal experience being uncomfortable with the jokes abt the oceangate submarine thing, & extrapolating on my frustrations around the resultant discourse vis a vis which emotional experience is More Leftist. i don't mean to target any one person, bc it is largely the sheer volume of it, constantly, for several days, from multiple disconnected sources, that is getting to me. i am really & truly not upset with any one person & if you feel i'm responding to you & it bums you out, pls feel free to say so or reach out privately (i have a link in my pinned post on here links in the new link sidebar feature with some ways to contact me) so we can chat. also it's alright if you just disagree & i hope you can just kind of hold the knowledge that im not trying to say anyone sucks.

in the specific case of this submarine thing, when people feel the need to start politically justifying their jokes, i find myself wondering what positive agenda this materially furthers. some billionaire is dead. ok fine. are those assets going to be redistributed? is anything going to change with this event? if not, why use that to justify the joke (that, again, i don't think needs justifying)?

i am just frustrated by what i feel is part of a general negative trend, especially Online, of "no-one takes my feelings seriously, so i am going to put them in the context of politics or ethics or morals so that they have to"

agree agree agree!!!
i am, truly, glad that someone is making the jokes. but god thinking about this entire thing just makes me feel sick to my stomach. even if i believed some deaths inarguably make the world better, no one should die like that. to me the whole thing is just horrific
