    This is haunting.

    There’s no gore or anything, it’s just twisted metal and cables. Still, seeing it and thinking “humans were alive in there mere days ago” made my gut drop. It’s not like looking at wreckage of an old ship or plane or something, it’s different. Because it’s so small, it feels more intimate. Like looking at a coffin vs looking at a graveyard

          No, it’s just a common saying that shows how people react to this sort of news. It’s a bit cynical but not untrue.

            “common saying”

            How the fuck is that a common saying? That’s a quote attributed to genocidal Stalin and it’s a complete bullshit statement. Whoever repeats a moronic statement (and also very wrong) is also a moron. Death of millions is not just a statistics, it’s a much bigger tragedy.

            Edgy idiots trying to be cool with statements of dictators

              Well i don’t assign its meaning. I’m just informing of what that phrase is. If anything. You’re the one appearing to be edgy with your unchecked emotion and tone of replies.

                Yeah sorry for my “unchecked emotion” for my ancestors getting slaughtered in concentration camps and you call it “just a statistics”
