PaulaToThePeople š·I think the biggest coup that #capitalism ever scored, was to make people believe that humans who made it out of an active war zone, crossed a desert and rowed a shitty rubber raft over an ocean are dangerously lazy freeloaders, while people who inherit billions from exploitative ancestors and never pay any taxes deserve praise and then called that an "achievement oriented society".
Sean@PaulaToThePeople thatās not capitalism, itās racism plain and simple. They try to dress it up as a āmigration invasionā.
@Strwpok Its very much both. If we "only" believed, that refugees and immigrants were bad, but at least understood, that we are the 99%, who would benefit from equality, this wouldn't work.
BilliglarperAgreed. The original post is a nice example of telling people what they want to hear.
Most capitalist entrepreneurs don't mind exploiting their workforce, and immigrant workers are especially easy to exploit for various reasons. And worker scarcity drives wages, so that's another reason they should like a larger workforce to recruit from.
(I'm not a fan of capitalism, and think that shares and dividends are a burden on society.)
@billiglarper @PaulaToThePeople we partly agree. Iām definitely a fan of capitalism as long as itās much fairer.
