Comment on Conservative people are the moist toxic and aggressive people for no reason

I still live quite comfortably as an engineer but I am watching the conditions develop for it to be taken from me as it has from others.
One of my favorite things is watching trumps base lose their fucking shit over musk and ramaswamys support for importing cheap foreign labor to enrich themselves.
I’ve always suspected the learn to code rhetoric was to cheapen the labor force on behalf of capitalists. I think the same thing now about trade work. Our rulers just want cheap exploitable labor and they don’t care how they get it. They’ll reinstate slavery (not that it ever fully left with the 13th amendment and all).
I don’t think it’s an accident that so much of that cheap foreign labor in the tech industry originates from India - a place with strict social hierarchy (caste system) and an undercurrent of fascism.

Yep. All of this. They want the “good” immigrants and the “middle” classes who can afford expensive education and travel, and not the lower classes that their own society is built on the backs of. Their base is just too easily blinded by racism to see the class war for what it is.
They don’t need to reinstate slavery, they already are able to employ people at wages below what it costs to feed, clothe, and house them. They don’t care how we live as long as they are making more money than last year, which includes profiting from our consumption. No, all they have to do is gradually replace their workforce with workers that accept lower compensation. Poverty, homelessness, recessions, debt, unemployment, these are all necessary components of capitalism. They keep the workforce desperate for any wage it can get. Capitalists have referred to it as “tempering” the workforce.

We need more Luigi’s to “temper” the capitalists

Hear, hear. I prefer socialist revolution of course but in the meantime I’m willing to compromise.
