"There are many ways of looking at ICE's recent terror campaign but probably the most salient is a bunch of people who can't get real jobs harassing and kidnapping people with real jobs."

improper ideologue

@pluralistic this was one of the conclusions of Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs: that people with bullshit jobs resent people who get to do real, meaningful work.

Graeber was primarily writing about the GOP assault on nurses and teachers, but it shouldn’t be surprising it expanded into new domains.

@pluralistic This is reductive and maligns people with disabilities many of whom also can't get jobs. It suggests that not having a "real" job (whatever that is) is the primary motivation towards someone being a fascist. And it moralizes work. In reality in many cases taking a job is less moral than not taking a job like slaughterhouse work.
