It always fascinates me in a morbid way how we can hyperfixate on individual suffering when there are people unnecessarily suffering and dying in droves both domestically and abroad.
It’s sad, but a woman got kidnapped on vacation and is likely dead or in sex slavery. People unnecessarily die horribly in our tent cities of exposure to the elements and police harassment constantly, as we consider their lives without value because we’re a sick, broken people. Some of us even wish death upon them for lowering local property values by selfishly continuing to exist without capital.
But this victim is affluent and photogenic, so it’s very important and no resource will be spared.
