| schestowitz | Never mind the initial conditions which put them in a position for slavery, child prostitution, prostitution, etc. | Dec 14 17:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: and Food, Inc. for examples of the abuses | Dec 14 17:57 |
| schestowitz | it's the worse forced labour | Dec 14 17:57 |
| schestowitz | And it's euphemised to death | Dec 14 17:57 |

| schestowitz | I spoke to one of them last week | Dec 14 17:57 |
| schestowitz | Actually, I made out with one, hehe.. | Dec 14 17:57 |
| schestowitz | But.. | Dec 14 17:57 |
| schestowitz | The thing I noted was.. | Dec 14 17:58 |
| schestowitz | They're being ripped off | Dec 14 17:58 |
| schestowitz | And they're not in a position to complain | Dec 14 17:58 |
| schestowitz | And the whole system is built this way | Dec 14 17:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | well yeah. | Dec 14 17:58 |
| schestowitz | I can explain this to people, but have no power to really change this | Dec 14 17:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | i'm surprised you _just_ noticed, but the innovation is it is now extended to citizens. | Dec 14 17:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | this privilege of slavery. see UKUncut | Dec 14 17:58 |
| schestowitz | Some of them are exceptionally well educated | Dec 14 17:58 |
| schestowitz | But the wages in their home countries are atrocious | Dec 14 17:58 |
| qu1j0t3 | right | Dec 14 17:59 |
| schestowitz | there is a cost to all thuis | Dec 14 17:59 |
| schestowitz | In Canada too | Dec 14 17:59 |
| schestowitz | Some people are out of work | Dec 14 17:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | but the taxi driver with a PhD is an urban fixture for decades now. | Dec 14 17:59 |
| schestowitz | And care workers are treated like garbage | Dec 14 17:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | racism is eveyrwhere in the western 'democracies' | Dec 14 17:59 |
| schestowitz | Devaluing labour, too | Dec 14 17:59 |

| schestowitz | This only serves rich old people | Dec 14 17:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | or prejudice against foreigners. | Dec 14 17:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | in Australia, it's hard to get hired if you have an accent. | Dec 14 17:59 |
| schestowitz | Who get people to wipe their arse for a nickel | Dec 14 17:59 |
| qu1j0t3 | no doubt it's the same in UK | Dec 14 18:00 |
| schestowitz | yeah, the racism too | Dec 14 18:00 |
| schestowitz | Stigmatising the slaves | Dec 14 18:00 |
| schestowitz | And dissociating from them | Dec 14 18:00 |
| schestowitz | At some point, if treated badly enough repetitively, they get to actually be conditioned into believing they deserve this | Dec 14 18:00 |
| schestowitz | It's not called racism | Dec 14 18:01 |
| schestowitz | Not if the characterisation can be ransformed away from the racial side | Dec 14 18:01 |
| schestowitz | You can relabel groups based on artificial criteria | Dec 14 18:01 |
| schestowitz | Like "foreigners" or "farmers" or even those other jobs that get associated with different ethnicity depending on the nation | Dec 14 18:02 |
| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: how are Brazilians treated in TO? | Dec 14 18:05 |
| schestowitz | It's multicultural there, so probably no worse than in London and Manc, which is also cosmopolitan. | Dec 14 18:05 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: better than in Portugal | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: ...much | Dec 14 18:06 |
| schestowitz | really? | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | yes. | Dec 14 18:06 |
| schestowitz | I'd have guessed the opposite | Dec 14 18:06 |
| schestowitz | Cause of the lang | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | in Portugal Brazilians form an underclass. | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | here they're just another cultural group. | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | see: colonialism | Dec 14 18:06 |
| schestowitz | hmmm.. | Dec 14 18:06 |
| schestowitz | There are many Portuguese people in TO | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | there are other factors too | Dec 14 18:06 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: yes | Dec 14 18:06 |

| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: here: Chinese + Koreans | Dec 14 18:07 |
| schestowitz | there has also been immigration of the educated from Russia/Slavic nations | Dec 14 18:07 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: for decades... | Dec 14 18:07 |
| schestowitz | Canada is going to benefit from absorption of those | Dec 14 18:07 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: if you've been to russia, you'd know why :) | Dec 14 18:07 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: i worked for one. | Dec 14 18:07 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: emigrated immediately the soviet ended | Dec 14 18:08 |
| schestowitz | Russia has brain drain | Dec 14 18:08 |
| schestowitz | And the mafia is left without much resistance, I think, which sometimes moves to other countries, but not so effectively it seems. Russian used to go head to head with the US | Dec 14 18:09 |
| schestowitz | Now USSR is no more | Dec 14 18:09 |
| schestowitz | And the scientists migrated if they could | Dec 14 18:09 |
| schestowitz | Soon it'll be the US | Dec 14 18:09 |
| schestowitz | The smart Asians used to migrate to the US | Dec 14 18:09 |
| schestowitz | Soon they'll migrate back (Singapore, Canada, maybe Europe) | Dec 14 18:09 |
| schestowitz | The academia in the US is underfunded now, it's quite ugly unless you're in some business centered around ripping people off somehow | Dec 14 18:10 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: yeah, story this morning, americans leaving in greater numbers, and why the hell would anyone stay | Dec 14 18:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: it always sucked for quality of life, they just never realised it because the RoW doesn't exist for them | Dec 14 18:12 |
| schestowitz | Implicit discrimination and class based on race is an issue that I don't know how to tackle. It's further reinforced by the mass media of the big corps which require an underclass to improve profits | Dec 14 18:12 |
| schestowitz | It is an issue I was not entirely aware of (or not grasped as top priority) until I met this girl. They for sure haven't influence that can resolve it for two reasons;1) in a discriminatory system nobody would listen to them and 2) they are kept on such a leash with job insecurity that pressures them into silence for fear of retaliation | Dec 14 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | but the important change is that white middle class are now expendable. | Dec 14 18:16 |
| schestowitz | everyone is | Dec 14 18:16 |
| schestowitz | There's too many of us on this planet | Dec 14 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: Americans are now saying: 1) their student loans will take a lifetime to pay off (if ever); 2) retirement age expected to be 80. | Dec 14 18:16 |
| schestowitz | and we are not needed for those in charge | Dec 14 18:16 |
| schestowitz | They run out of resources | Dec 14 18:16 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: i.e. slave class. | Dec 14 18:16 |
| schestowitz | So they turn to cheaper labour | Dec 14 18:16 |
| schestowitz | They expand it by reaching out to more countries, using them to further screw worker rights and work security | Dec 14 18:16 |
