Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
Because of shit like your post. You basically went ahead and justified celebrating death by spouting some banal left-sounding rhetoric. It’s honestly the same kind of energy that right-wing nuts have whenever they talk about “taking America back” and idealizing the death of liberals and left-leaning people.
There’s a fine line between a “good riddance” and “WOOHOOO THIS FUCKER IS DEAD” - the latter should truly be reserved for people like Hitler. I can see the latter for a piece of shit like Kissinger, but not for the Titantic sub people.
But unfortunately, most of the internet nowadays won’t take a more level-headed approach until either Critikal or Asmongold does (if they do).
Your little name calling hissy fit missed on each mark.
I consider myself an Independent/Anarchist.
That said, if a man who has billions of dollars decides to pay 250k per seat to a man who has 12 million dollars to go on a ultra-mega-uber exclusive noone else can afford it voyage to see the Titanic in a vessel that has been speculated to have had a material cost (not engineering cost, material cost) of less than 50k dollars, then die by the model of the greed you spread in this world, then here is what I have to say.
Rest in piss. So long mother fucker. Adios. You were an embarrassment in life and you will be a totem of dipshitery for as long as we remember "the dumb ass titanic submersible guy."
You could have spent a half million dollars to feed and clothe your neighbors. You could have fed a half million dollars back into your company to fairly pay your employees.
No. You decided to go on a literal ego trip to your death.
Only person I feel bad for in that story is the son, who never had an opportunity to demonstrate if he was an actual redeemable human being because someone who deserved a MUCH worse fate took a half million dollars to allow his father who deserved a MUCH MUCH worse fate to force him into the vessel.
Especially when 300? died just trying to survive, in the same time frame as useless billionaires, and hardly got attention on media and sm.
