This is gonna sound privileged but migrant boats sinking is not new news. This has been over the headlines since at least 2015 so people aren't going to be receptive any more. But it's not every day that millionaires die in a submarine
That kinda uhh... Makes it worse? They have been letting migrants die every month for years? That does not make it okay at all, neither ignoreable. It makes it way worse.
Yeah it's definitely privileged. When the news doesn't effect you and is just a matter of screen entertainment, then it is absolutely privileged.
