Business is booming at a sea dock in western Turkey, where five hulking cruise ships are being dismantled for scrap metal sales after the COVID-19 pandemic all but destroyed the industry. REUTERS/U
Oh and also being held captive on a floating consumerist dystopia.
The only times I’ve been on a ship is to get from New York to Southampton or vice versa. Ocean liners still have a consumerist element to it but it’s way less pronounced and also the decorations aren’t tacky as fuck. Yes it takes like a week but I like slow travel (train gang) and I go for the slower option if I have the time. Being in rush to get somewhere constantly is a symptom of our capitalist dystopia. Yes the privilege of taking your time is one many don’t have. Boy do I wonder why... :curious-marx:
It’s still cool and good that cruise lines are getting fucked and their floating disease carrier environment disrespecter ships are getting scrapped lmao
