It’s not like people actually cared about the victims of previous disasters. Covid, ebola and all the other things (wars also).
In my mind I always see a post about Warhammer40k where they said the emperor kills 1000 people a day just to stay alive - and how thankful we would be if only 1000 people would be killed for the rich and not more.
*(My lore is not up to date so correct me with the real imaginary numbers pls)kills 1000 people a day just to stay alive
1000+ Russians per day die to keep the invasion in Ukraine going so Putin doesn’t fall out a window.
Those are only the people directly consumed by the emperor. The wealthy still kill many millions daily in 40k
That’s 365000, so nearly half a million but lower than what I’d imagine nearly 500k to be. Can’t believe that universe is ‘better’
And thats only because of the heat - if you start really counting how many deaths are happening just because the rich can save a penny…
The War on Terror, which became largely about plundering Iraq’s natural resources, killed over 4 million people.
So it goes, the death of one man is a tragedy, but the death of millions is just a statistic.
My understanding is a lot of the rich assholes with the power to do something about this view these deaths as desirable.
They decided their profits were more important than your life a long time ago.
Next up in billionaire conferences: “from denial to adaptation: how to survive global warming like a pro”
Bunkers powered by diesel to cool and power ai. All pollution is pumped to the poors.
That’s a bingo
I hope I won’t be one of them
