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.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago

My coworker immigrated. Got his citizenship, now complains immigrants are the problem. SMH

You should put two pieces of bread on the sides of her face

[–] ttyybb@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Does she not see that contradiction?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Heck, most of them don't know anything about anything and are just repeating talking points. I had a super conservative coworker go on a rant once which happened to be 100% false. It was so wrong that had they written it down they would most definitely have used the wrong your/you're.

Logic just doesn't work on her. That's a big part of what makes trumpers ... special.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

Sounds like her issue is their otherness, not their medical history.

Racists and xenophobes are capable of believing some really stupid, easily disproven shit.

America would be far better off if the idiot that voted for Trump could read good.

Who's hiring immigrants for less. Equal pay, my dude.

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".

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] BonsaiBoo@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago

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!

This is also why they gleefully shipped all the manufacturing jobs/skills and tech to other countries (mostly China).

They’re unbelievably giddy you think China did something wrong in accepting all this work and then building a country that is lifting more and more of its billion+ people out of poverty.

No, China did what we should have done and should have been doing the whole time; but we did the opposite and you blamed the Chinese instead of the wealthy industrialists who sent the jobs there. You wept and cried over China’s one-party offering no freedom “like we have here” except here they took away our protections, our rights, and gave all the military spending money to defense contractors who designed more and more outrageously complex systems that take forever to build, cost more than a billion dollars each, and then apparently can just be taken out.

We’re not safe anymore, we’re not rich anymore, we’re not asked for help anymore, we’re not smart anymore, we’re not comfortable anymore, we’re all struggling to make ends meet even if we have good income, all the water is dirty, all the roads are failing…but at least we still got football and Jesus right?

Everything is Nazis and gambling now.

If maga could read above a 5th grade level they'd be very upset

Immigrants started SO many small businesses too btw.

My response to this is always: if a homeless person with no money or credentials wearing their only set of clothes with no friends or connections unable to speak the local language and requiring the boss to risk legal fines asks for a job and the boss chooses them over you.. What does that say about you?

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 24 points 3 days ago (4 children)

What does that say about you?

I mean... not much? Everything you listed except for the part about the employer risking fines is a positive to the capitalist. And the fines are just a cost of doing business.

Whose mad? My mad?

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

I mean in a true meritocracy, as they'd like, guys like this are meant to get cooked.

An immigrant took my anal virginity, assuming all the random, eclectic objects I shoved up there in my childhood and adolescence do not count towards that stat.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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"

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're not wrong, but what you described is only a problem because even if you don't abuse paperless immigrants and pay them below minimum wage, your competition will.

The solution isn't to let everyone do this, it's to stop everyone from doing it.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I agree. If companies had their license to operate removed for doing it, the problem would solve itself. Be shut down if you get caught.
