He doesn’t appear to be wrong here (from a capitalist perspective)? And pissed off a bunch of settler-colonial labour aristocrats/petite- bourgoise in the process. To paraphrase a war-criminal; deplorables everywhere.
I do wish those STEM h1-visa candidates had more class consciousness though.
Much of the appeal of hiring people on visa is that they’re not going to have class consciousness, and if they did then you can just cancel their visa. This arrangement puts all the power in the hands of the employer.
Well put though I did mean more from a global/international class persepctive ie fraternity with others from the collective global south - as referenced in my other comment. You are right; anti-unionism is built into the selection process.
i mostly agree, but it’s not that easy to “have more class consciousness” when you’re a non-citizen though, as you’re way more vulnerable and even posting the wrong stuff online might get your visa denied
I meant less to do with any potential revolutionary zeal and more to do with pipeline-to-capital-defence as they become potential labour aristocrats or consider themselves temporary non-bourgoisie.
Addendum: (Exemplified, for example, when they often amp up their colourism/castism/anti-immigrant/anti-black racist perspectives if they become successful American Citizens. However, on these fourms we often do come from glass houses.)
