It seems extremely easy to dupe people who feel downtrodden by the system. Dupe them into believing a scapegoat (foreigners in this case) is the source of all their problems, and then double down on capitalism, making their problems worse than before…

Labor and the coalition aren’t shooting themselves in the foot - well not on purpose. They’re upholding the status quo, which is capitalism. The second they don’t their sponsors will bail, or they won’t have a cushy job lined up after they’re done in parliament.

I’m kinda worried that we’re about to go way further to the right at the next election
