    My theory is they think they’ll become managers of these factories or some management position while immigrants or young people toil.

      I think they just say bringing factories onshore would be good because the news said they should say that. 12 years of shitty education that trains them to say back what the teacher said last week, a lifetime of people on TV telling them what to think, of course that’s what they say.

      literally the liberal dream writ large

      remember spez’s “when push comes to shove” in the famous doomsday prepper article?
      the yankoid brain is incapable of wishing for a future greater than being an untouchable PMC slavedriver that exploits others. a better world should only be for you

      Not even that, they just think it’ll improve their job/life situation in some really abstract way.

      They don’t even think about it that much, they just think more factories means cheaper items

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
