i think ultimately it doesn't matter how you personally feel about these people dying. socially they are our enemies, and socially the rescue effort towards them was a demonstration of the stratification that exists between them and us. at the same time the navies of the capitalist nations mounted massive expeditions in favour of a handful of their ruling class, they also consigned hundreds of impoverished global-south workers to a cold, watery grave. we can all wish that if we were lost at sea, there would be rescue sent for us, but their rescuers are not meant for us. as a human, the idea of any person suffocating in a dark metal tube horrifies me, and I'm sure their families weep. but again, it doesn't matter how I personally feel - this isn't personal. on a societal level, on a *class* level, these people are our enemies. let our enemies commemorate them, and let us work to stop them from killing more of us.
