minus-square BeegYoshi ( @BeegYoshi@lemm.ee ) linkfedilinkEnglish20•2 years agoI don’t wanna celebrate deaths, but it is wild to me how much of a story this is compared to, say, the boat full of migrants that the Greek government purposely allowed to die. Those migrants were simply people seeking a better life. They deserve far more in terms of coverage and rescue efforts than a couple of rich aholes who spent their money on a tourist trap
