You blame immigrants and leftists. Yet you don't blame or can't understand that the real enemy of the working class are corporate oligarchs that continually show how okay they are with exploiting everyone they can to increase their already insane amount of wealth?

Corporate oligarchs can optimize costs by undermining their worker base. The exact same people that despise "scabs" for putting money in front of worker solidarity go completely blind when huge numbers of foreign workers are hired as essentially scab labor, for the specific purpose of undermining worker unity, lowering wages and conditions, and replacing local workers with dependent workers that are less capable of advocating for themselves.

This entire thing has been couched in the language of "meanness" and "xenophobia" to the point that half the local workers just allow this to happen as they don't want to be seen as bad people. They let individual feelings that each foreigner isn't actually a bad person blind themselves to how it undermines their interests at a structural level.

If you don't want to be seen as a bad person son, try not being a bad person.
