While I'm against capitalists as much as the next person here, wishing death on them is a bit harsh.
I think it's OK to appreciate when the world gets a little better.
You people can be so callous sometimes, they're still actual people. I know you people hate rich snobs not spending their money on things that actually matter, (cough cough not going to the fucking titanic for fun) but just because they're some rich assholes you think they deserve to die.
It's OK to acknowledge that some people actively make the world a worse place for many other people.
With the stroke of a pen any of these people could prevent tens of thousands of deaths from malaria or tuberculosis with zero change to their quality of life. That's why their wealth is disgusting.
This week a ship with immigrants sank by the greek coast. Hundreds of people are missing and likely dead, no one send help. There are children starving in poverty around the clock while we technically do produce enough food in the world to end world hunger (most ends in the trash) the logistics are deemed too expensive. Of course we should recognize that the submarine passengers are people and the loss of life is always tragic but the millions of spend capital, resources and media attention saving specifically those 5 is a bitter reminder of the cruelty of our world. This is the internet, we are allowed a laugh, even if its dark sometimes.
Moreover, nobody gets that rich without screwing us, the workers. Why shouldn't we rejoice when people who actively make our lives worse get their due?
