Who’s
?
I still can’t get past my coworker who hates immigrants because (according to her) they’re unvaccinated and spread disease. And she’s also antivax.
My coworker immigrated. Got his citizenship, now complains immigrants are the problem. SMH
Does she not see that contradiction?
Because like most of them, when someone else does it its lazy/evil/malicious, but when they do it there’s always some justifiable reason.
Just like a right-winger coworker of mine. She won’t stop talking shit about how she couldn’t trust her ex because he cheated on her. Meanwhile she’s cheated on every single bf she’s ever had. And her current husband
Logic just doesn’t work on her. That’s a big part of what makes trumpers … special.
You should put two pieces of bread on the sides of her face
Like so
The landscaping company my HOA contracts with is having trouble finding people to do the work, after, of course, many of their employees were rounded up.
My idiot neighbors are whining about how their yards look like shit, because the landscapers aren’t coming around once a week, like they used to. The same idiot neighbors who urge everyone to “vote red” and are absolutely certain that only “illegal” immigrants are being “deported”.
There’s a sketch in Family Guy where Abe Lincoln confronts his neighbor about his un-mowed yard and the neighbor says “yeah, I used to have a guy for that”.
Probably thought landscapers were a part of nature. Like landscapers are deer but instead of walking through yards to eat berries they cut hedges into clean shapes
The premise of MAGA was always that we’d have a permanent impoverished servant class. But the message got distorted as it moved from the middle class liberal PMC to the lower class industrial/service sector serf.
Turns out “Every Home A Castle, Every Man A King” doesn’t play out in practice so well.
Immigrants started SO many small businesses too btw.
Who’s hiring immigrants for less. Equal pay, my dude.
If maga could read above a 5th grade level they’d be very upset
Whose mad? My mad?
no immigrant has taken your job
In fairness, the more common modern practice is outsourcing. Send the Capital to the large labor pool, rather than sending labor to existing capital stock.
Something something litter boxes in schools and your grandkids are coming home with secret forced gender transition surgeries done in one day by underpaid public servants!
I just saw a video lat night of some Jan 6 dork dressed in full military cosplay, literally saying he was afraid of the 8 year old brown children replacing him 🤦♂️
They are such losers
Cuz at 8 they be smarter
YES, it is all about regaining the narrative. We need culture, we need community.
The MAGAs are not the enemy, they are the victims of this unscrupulous machinery of brainwashing the Zuck, Murdoch, Musk…
They MAGAs are the weak, the susceptible too influence, and we have to reach to them, break this fabric.
The revolution is in our hands, we ‘just’ need to find the message.
I wish I could get on board with this initiative. I used to believe that to be MAGA, you had to be either incredibly cruel, or unfathomably stupid.
As things have developed, I was dismayed to realize: You have to be both.
They are the weakest and loneliest among us, hence why they are so susceptible to even the dumbest of narratives. If it weren’t for their hatred I’d feel pity for them. But what you’re suggesting is no small feat, we would be up against literal decades of brainwashing.
Something I’ve noticed is that whenever a maga says their political take, simply asking them for details sends them into a rage, cuz they don’t know any lol. Watch some Isaiah Thomas clips, the man has the patience of god. Maybe there’s something in that we could use?
The more I see of the world, on a macro and micro level, the more I believe that the generational task young people will face is stepping into a dying world, the effects of which they did not cause, and be the ones to deal with every mess the boomers are leaving behind. And the only way they succeed in that, is together. And of course the world is seemingly as divided as ever right now.
What do you think?
This isn’t all that true. For many blue collar jobs, at least.
It’s very hard to be a roofing company and stay in business without using immigrants in many area, for example. No one in the US will work for less money than the immigrants who are mostly sending money back down to Mexico. Everyone wants to pay as low a price that they can for their roof job. Not using immigrants means you have to charge a higher price. That loses you work because you’re constantly underbid. You either use immigrants, or you struggle to keep the business and employees going.
I worked blue collar for quite a few years around new construction homes. I’ve literally watched this go down and making an Office meme doesn’t make it less true. In a perfect world it wouldn’t happen and no one would hire immigrants and pay them less money, but we don’t live in that world, so once a few people start doing it the option often becomes “Do it as well, or go out of business”
nah i disagree. an immigrant did take your job, but it was his/her right to do so. everybody gets a fair chance in the US. or at least those are the proposed rules.
you’re jobless because there’s just not a strong demand for human labor anymore. that, however, has nothing to do with the immigrant and everything to do with the broader economy.
that’s why we need a universal basic income, which can only be financed by taxing the rich.
There are only so many unskilled jobs available. What would your wonderful communism do with this? Create worthless jobs and wasted resources of all society on it?
Spoiler alert: It’s a recipe for poverty
Train people for high skilled work.
Is it safe to presume that you classify certain people as “useless eaters” as well?
You haven’t answered my question. But I guess no answer is an answer too in this case
The actual answer is UBI and job training programs. It lets people survive and gives them the opportunity to learn new skills without worrying about starving to death in this capitalist hellscape.
