It’s hugely anti-labor and deeply racist for pseudo-liberals to say things like, “Who will pour my latte/mow my grass if deportations occur?” A friend texted me a comment like that the other day lamenting the existence of these types of liberals, and she’s right.

If all you care about is paying “the help” the lowest possible wage, YOU ARE NOT A PROGRESSIVE.

If it’s not clear, I don’t think mass deportations are particularly productive or helpful, and are mainly just a distraction from what we should really be working on, which is forming better labor unions, resisting neoliberalism in all its forms (including the pseudo-liberal denial that neoliberalism exists), and organizing communities outside of the neo-feudalistic capitalist system.

We will do none of these things of course, and it will all end in slow-motion but very real disaster, as it already has for many Americans left behind by NAFTA, globalization and the pseudo-progressive contingent.

Sneering dismissal of millions of people who had few better choices like this only make this far more likely.

You know what? Go to a high school like mine and you aren’t qualified for college. And mine wasn’t even the worst one in the area. The people I grew up with — including me — were too poor to choose to go to a decent private school, even if there had been one in the area (which there wasn’t). Etc.

Fuck that idiot. Vic Crain the commenter is who that is directed at, if not clear from the link.

Now that I’ve digressed and obsessed, let me get back on the main track.

If you think the purpose of immigrants is to make consumer shit cheaper for your spoiled white ass, any sort of progressive you are not.

The only difference between Trump’s version of bribery and how other politicians do it is that the neoliberal model has a time delay. Trump is just cutting that right out.

This is why I don’t get very worked up about Trump’s conflicts of interest. They are real, but the only difference is that he’s getting paid now as opposed to later. Politicians exist to do what rich people want, Trump is only cutting out the middle man and the partial delay.

It was always amazing to me that Hillary Clinton could give $200,000+ a hit Goldman Sachs speeches and then pseudo-liberals could tell me with a straight face that such a thing was not corruption — not even the whiff of it, according to them.

In fact, it is the very definition of corruption, just a form approved by the current political establishment.

I am one of the “winners” of society, and if I oppose so many of the tenets and actualities of my society, just imagine how the losers feel — even if they don’t articulate it quite so well.

That fact alone should hint at change coming. (Actually, it’s already here.)
