Neoliberal Attrition: What is it? Let's discuss.
More newcomers come in, they bring new necessities for products...money is the only object to big-wig corporate assholes whom push out politicos like ant-colonies do ants, and so it goes, the more profit attainable, the more worthy an idea- and thus we have the notion of attrition.
People whom are already comfortable doing this, and whom already are rich among the richest, do not care if you quit your job, so they will work you harder...don't like it, make your own way...this was once the conservative line, and it's now been employed by the liberals, in a fashion not so far from barracks communism-lite; and if you won't quit, then you'd better be safe, or you're fired! Make an infraction? You didn't play it safe...well it doesn't matter if foreman Steve told you to do it, it's not safe!
And of course "newcomers" will take the jobs the native population just won't do, and for less pay...this works. Tried and true. Bring in more people...make everyone have to work twice as hard, or if you don't like it, open up a burger shop. One might say: "Multiculturalism is only a buzzword" Not really. People love buzzwords, sure, everyone loves their propaganda.
But multiculturalism doesn't have to be a BAD word. However, it shouldn't be a thing that corporate/governmental big-wigs should be using to simply make them more profit at the cost of weakening the nations native workforce. Which is what some folks are doing...they are saying "hey, we need newcomers, they're so great, they only bring diversity, and happiness, and we love them", when all these companies want is simply more workers and more business.
This is Neoliberal Attrition
Now why treat issues that way? because they haven't a leg to stand on. They know people are already suffering, on welfare, can't get a job, etc...I have to move to goddamn Timbuktu to be rest assured to find work...and they want MORE PEOPLE to come into the country? what for? less suspect French Crullers? these corporate shitheels want us to open up our arms for the sake of "multi-culturalism", not because they "feel the love", but because they see
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
Which is just another way of saying: "who cares about that individual? we need to buff up the numbers, and make us some more cashflow. I know, let's bring in more people." And it's the media blitzkrieg following the election of Donald Trump, the omissions of people's legitimate problems, the lies, the deceit, their end-game (money) that I feel is despicably prevaricating and deceitful. There are enough problems as it is, and their solution is to invalidate the people having those problems, and REPLACE THEM IN NUMBER. Here's where we have our Leftist Attrition problem. We need to rub out those pesky workers whom want job security and safety, you know, for the sake of them and their families ACTUAL WELFARE, so they can replace them...why you ask, how would that work?
The only matter is NUMBERS. On welfare, it's ok, you're still in the numbers. As long as you can live, you're ok, no news is going to be relevant about someone like you...you subsist. No, what they want is MORE PEOPLE IN GENERAL. That's why I find the "cause" being pushed (oh so incessantly) to be disingenuous and dangerous.
The more people we have here, the more workers can be buffed out of their job...fired? It's ok, there is always social options...and the company is happy, because they don't need to support you anymore...oh and let's make sure we don't need to pay them severance, let's just make job safety our number one priority...after all, these blue collar workers are just working in dangerous conditions for their livelihood, all we need to do is bend the rules a little bit...foreman Steve is being replaced soon anyway, by corporate...he asked you to do something? don't refuse. Just do it. Just don't get hurt; or you're fired!
Next please! Oh hi, and we need you right away. Oh ten people just quit! Great! they were screwing with our numbers...we weren't making ends meet.
Next please!
