Apologies for the rambling reply to my own post, but I had to write this all down to organise my own thoughts.
In my experience, the only people who defend this system are the people who benefit from it (the foreign scabs) or the natives who benefit or who aren't yet affected. The intragroup peer network is largely the political, media, and public sector worker class, where, for example, are almost impossible to join without having gone through the brainwashing cartel that is modern higher education.
Those without college education, as a raw cohort, certainly have worse life outcomes, lower income, higher disease burdens, higher crime rates. Many of them live in situations explicitly exacerbated by mass migration.
Remember when it was an economic and inflationary disaster waiting to happen when lorry driver wages were spiking due to labour shortages after Brexit? In January 2021 in Britain, Median wages got HGV drivers spiked from £30,000 to £36,000, and the Treasury was so panicked about how inflationary this would ultimately be that they allowed 1.1million Boriswavers enter the country in the next 9 months.
Did anyone ask the lorry drivers if they thought the wage increase was an economic disaster? Why is it a disaster when market forces raise the wage of HGV drivers from 50% to 60% that of train + tram drivers?
Apparently it will be another economic crisis when AI makes many forms of specialised information work cheaper, or even free. Not if you're the person that BUYS that specialised information work. A scarce resource just became abundant, so the people who used to do that are freed up to do something else.
There's a sort of one-way looking glass force at play here, where it's treated at some unassailable, objectively and permanently concluded fact that some contentious issue in law or culture is allowed to remain the norm despite numerous, profound disadvantages of the system and poisonous second-order effects, whilst others are fair game to have the entire resources of the state thrown at them to avoid a comparatively unknown or minor cost to some new proposed Way of Doing Things.
It was beyond the Pale to talk about anti-white racism in British institutions before the Nowak trial. You could do it but you were instantly marked off as some swivel-eyed lunatic or despicable boorish thicko with a broad accent and a penchant for flags.
No more.
Mass migration is next. It is an economic choice that too many people have too perverse a moral hazard to even be worth listening to. Fully half of mainstream discourse on migration and the economy or housing or the health service is an infohazards. Ideas so alien or inverting that it's almost not worth the risk learning what they are because they can be so seductive to anyone not versed in the Dark Arts. These ideas, these words which have no meaning to them, but are merely objects of Power, spells to control those that they would use instrumentally. Elon buying X can't be understated in its important on the long enough timeline. It's got advantages (and drawbacks) compared to every other Palantír.
Ride the wave.
Government and employers will ALWAYS follow the path of least resistance. If it's easier and/or cheaper to hire foreigners, nowadays mostly from cultures with a completely different magnitude of corruption, fraud, and cheating, then that is what they will do.
You are absolving big business and the State of its sins by forgiving their failure to provide a suitable education infrastructure for all of society's needs. You are handing employers a unilateral get out of jail free card that disables the ultimate power that a working person has at the individual and the collective level - their ability to walk away and to refuse to engage in a structure that exploits and manipulates them instrumentally.
You're excusing the ability of business and government to import foreign scabs when the native workers demand something better paid, better conditions, or something different altogether.
@BovrilG The upside of Scotland's population mostly being concentrated in the Central Belt is that (You), the Scottish mutual reading this post, live within a dozen miles of hundreds of fellow patriots.
@AlfredTheMid She's not wrong. But some disasters are necessary. Some disasters are worse than the alternative.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were disastrous to the residents.
@julian_le_roux@Brumairian@dystopiangf You're not wrong but there's still a qualitative difference between the mercenary and the conscript and the nature and balance of political/economic forces affecting each of them.
Just like there are different sexual forces affecting the prostitute and the wife.
@FuturistPartyGB White people are at a higher risk of virtually every other form of cancer. There are no special screening programmes to account for this disparate outcome.
Henry Nowaks sister Olivia Nowak is reposting @RobertJenrick on TikTok lecturing Shabana Mahmood on the death of her brother, Henry.
But the media and the government keep telling us not to politicise his death and to respect the family?
Do not let the media gaslight you.
