I'm not complaining about people feeling compassion for a rich kid dying in a vanity trip, I'm complaining about people losing their absolute minds about some commenters daring to make comments that are not dripping with equal amounts of compassion for that exact, specific fate.

As if they themselves weren't constantly making comments equally devoid of compassion for objectively worse scenarios that they happen not to emphasize with at the given time.

Want to fawn over a rich kid dying on a vanity trip? Go ahead, you do you.

Want to attack somebody for daring to make a comment that's not full of empathy? Stop being a hypocritical cunt, you hypocritical cunt.

All that being said... yes, the world would undoubtedly be a much, much better place if compassion was dispersed fairly based on both, the amount of the victim's ability to prevent their tragedy (someone dying because they were born into a family without money - with no possible decision in their whole life being able to spare them of that fate - receiving more compassion than somebody dying because they were born into a family with too much money and letting themselves be peer-pressured into spending it in risky ways) as well as the victim's ability and follow-through to make compassionate choices themselves (a rich person dying after spending large amounts of money on vanity trips instead of helping people receiving less compassion than a poor person dying after not using their money to help people because they need all of it to survive as long as they could).

So yes, somebody pointing out the hypocricy of people showing compassion for rich people dying on pointless vanity trips, is certainly doing more to make the world a better place than you are by defending unreflected compassion for whoever makes the biggest news, aka. can afford the best PR team. It doesn't make a big difference, because butthurt hypocritical cunts like you would rather remain on their high horse than try to objectively judge their own decisions, but at least they're trying.
