You didn't read Paulo Freire

Final Fantasy Tactics quote:

"There's no such thing as equality! One side is always being exploited!"

"Then I wanna be on the "exploiting" side! After I overthrow you!"

So America does chattel slavery and genocide, then imports 400,000 sycophantic racists annually to earn 5x the wages of the survivors?

דאיקייט @doikeit.bsky.social · 1d

So millions of Black and Chicano Americans are looked over for jobs because only Indians can learn Java and Python?

Look, we're only talking ~400,000 people here, earning an average of $128k/yr.

Yes, Trump's fee is extortion (esp. re: exemptions) but we have bigger fish to fry.

Hell yeah. Paulo Freire would be proud.

The issue isn't wages, it's working conditions & political leverage.

In a functioning democracy, workers have structural, strategic industrial leverage; H-1B can't wield that leverage because they're vulnerable to deportation—serious, scary threats of violence!

This keeps them docile, apolitical.

דאיקייט @doikeit.bsky.social · 2d

I dunno, I think their general fear of "the city" is pretty pathetic.

דאיקייט @doikeit.bsky.social · 2d

H1B workers are supposed to be people with qualifications that are in short supply in the United States. The unspoken part is that the "qualification" employers are so desperately searching for is usually the willingness to demean oneself for peanuts.

It's Java, not nuclear physics.

I live in Memphis, one of the cities where the National Guard’s been deployed. The ground troops aren’t here yet, but Blackhawks have been flying over for days. I’m from a military family — I know that deeper, heavier sound. It’s not like a LifeFlight helo.

"Do not fight them" is kinda useless advice.

Read up on nonviolent methods, and take a crack at organizing a few yourself.

I'm happy to help!
