Natural disasters really expose the world's caste system, which ranks human life by nationality. We watch the world stop when tragedy hits the US or Europe, while hundreds and even thousands killed in floods, fires, and earthquakes in Iran, Venezuela, and Congo barely make news.
i feel like as a society we are so desentisized of tragedy that i have seen some speak about venezuela with a level of indifference as if we will recover in no time. thousands of people are dead and buried alive. i repeat: thousands of people are dead and buried alive.
