A fishing boat crowded with migrants traveling from Libya to Italy sank in Greek waters last week. While hundreds are still missing and feared dead, it has garnered far less attention and resources than the Titan rescue efforts for five people.
From where I’m sitting, it looks like these mass drownings are to the EU what mass shootings are here in the US: an issue that the people and politicians pretend to give a crap about, and then do absolutely nothing about, so it keeps happening over and over again.
It’s not like they want the refugees to actually make it into Europe lol. And believe me most people living in countries that get most of the immigrants and refugees don’t give a shit about what happens to then either.
Surprise! Awful shit happens every day and you don’t hear about even 2% of it.
Lately it seems like we’re only hearing about the 1%

I’m pretty sure a lot of people here are actually happy about news like that
