But sure, we are the evil ones, for not wanting people to die because they can’t afford basic necessities. That’s a very evil thing to strive for. I am the most evil person to ever have lived.
I wonder if these people have ever put themselves in the place of the side that gets all the shit?
Do they, at least sometimes, come up with the idea that they would have to work since childhood for pennies, without receiving any education, risking losing their health and becoming disabled, unable to get medical care, because they do not have enough money for medicines and doctors?
Oh, they do. All the time, in fact; it’s why you’ll never fail to hear a settler railing against revolutionary Black nationalists/separatists talking on self-determination like “buh buh buh they wanna segregate the country again!” It’s out of a fear for retribution; a fear that our disciplined self-determination looks like their literally-cancerous barbarism.
Just reading the replies, and the idea that minimum wage laws are bad because they increase unemployment and layoffs is such an obnoxiously ass take.
I refuse to believe that someone can have a take that insane without knowing exactly what they’re doing. I can’t fathom it. What, pray tell, is the usefulness of the unemployment metric if the quality of life for those employed is deplorable? What information does the unemployment metric convey? Their assertion that unemployment and layoffs will go down is implicitly admitting that wages will drop significantly without the limits. There’s a 0℅ chance this person doesn’t understand that, and yet they sit there pretending like low unemployement is some holy grail, inherently good number to keep low.
Whoever runs that Twitter account posts this, and then has the audacity to accuse us of having evil impulses…
Oh, and if these guys had their way, they would have kids be illiterate and working in factories again:
