Why are those on the left psyop'd to support mass immigration?

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

For them, no one wants to be a cotton picker because you could just, go to college and get a cushy career.

Nobody wants to be a cotton picker, period. An attempt to recruit teenagers to work on farms in the early 1960s failed massively because none of them wanted to do that kind of work when so many better opportunities were available.

The mass emigration of people from rural to urban areas was driven by the greater opportunities and income provided by manufacturing work in industrial cities and really accelerated as a result of the US entry into WWII, which drove up manufacturing wages massively and reduced unemployment to virtually nonexistent levels by 1942. You could get a far better paying job with actual benefits in the factories vs. the farms.

That shortage of agricultural workers itself led to the Bracero Program, which brought in unskilled Mexican migrant workers to fill those jobs.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Mass immigration is the newest batch of groupthink that has been activated and if you are against mass immigration in any capacity you are a mega racist.

Nigga, this has been the case since the 70's across the west, particularly western europe.

 

[Horton Hears A Whore]

I want to know why. Why are the left today so obsessed with promoting causes that actively harm us both on an individual level and as a societal whole?

Because all they desire is harm to others, and they want it so badly they'll accept almost that much harm to themselves. Modern liberalism/etc. is the system's promise to deliver that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do recall the idea that the modern left was at one point heavily influenced by the Weather Underground.

*Nobody wants to do pick cotton for peanuts.

If you can walk into a factory, give the manager a firm handshake and get hired on the spot for what 2-3x the money you get from picking strawberries of course you're not going to pick strawberries.

Instead of letting the wages for farmhands go up we import foreigners. No one wants to work anymore only means no one wants to work for the current wage. Let the wages rise. Let the people buy $30 boxes of strawberries or grow them themselves.

 

[The Secret Sauce]

Lefty parties do it because they're free to ruin their countries when the majority of the population are foreigners who hate the country. They're just importing voters.

Lower status -> more better

Everything flows from this:
Brown? Lower status, more better.
Illegally present? Lower status, more better.
Muzzie? Lower status, more better.

I heard there is some plan is to break down civilization, then rebuild with all that pod-living, bug eating bullshit. Endless migrants are destabilizing, and they could play into that. Another theory I've heard is that there's a plan by fanatical Muslims to conquer the West, so they are taking advantage of "woke" to flood the West with migrants.

[IamInLoveWithBigBrother]

Seeing a lot of answers from people - probably mostly westerners - who seem to believe that the whole mass immigration by the left (and any party in power) is some sort of misplaced sense of empathy and so on. Not to power level too much but I am from a formerly commie country so allow me to get to the bottom and crux of the issue: the left simply wants an eternal working class that has no hope or ability to rise up against the party/bureaucracy. Have you ever noticed how 9/10 formerly commie countries are a corrupt shithole with a cartoonishly corrupt and incompetent ruling class and a working class who is living paycheck to paycheck? That's what western lefties and the brown hordes are prime material for this.

So some corporations have this idea that every client or customer is equal, so they want more people in the door.

At my current job for example, clients are a much more important metric than money, so you can have two clients and charge them $75 each to do something incredibly simple, and someone fairly specialized can have one client and charge them $3000 to do something very complicated. You're still leading 2 to 1.

I thought doing a sales job on the weekend would be fun, the problem is that well yes, they do care about metrics, they also want you to waste endless time with the family who doesn't speak English and doesn't really seem to understand shopping to help them consider the cheapest item in the store.

 

[Rapesputin]

Back when the Left was winning the culture war, corpos decided to jump ship from the right and to that end started to socially engineer the Left to be more accomodating of cheap labor

 

[Not 6 Foot]

Supporting immigration is pushed hard simply because it sounds like the, "right thing," to do. We're taught, from a young age, in the USA that we have it way better than everyone else. This is true, on a nationwide scale, but not necessarily true on an individual scale. As a result, the collective mindset is that we should share our good fortune with other people in need.

Growing up, I would have agreed with this. As a matter of fact, I did. As a fully grown adult, paying my own bills and whatnot, I absolutely abhor the idea of most immigration, especially when most of the cheap labor jobs get taken by them while the people native to the city you live in spend months waiting to hear back from jobs that you have literally watched them apply for, only to not get it.
Amazon facilities are particularly bad about this. They brag about, "creating jobs," but most of the jobs they create are taken by muslims and various other (brown) people who can't even speak English. You are a minority if you are white and work for Amazon, in the USA, even in the heart of the Midwest.

And even then, in the modern economy with advances in robotics and AI, I give it a few decades at most until routine farm labor can be done by machines supervised and repaired by a small handful of people. We don't do that because presently it's far cheaper and easier to use third worlders. A lot of your delicate fruits and vegetables won't even be grown in high income countries soon. Go look at the strawberries at your supermarket. Good chance those were grown in Mexico. Even the Mexican farm might be using Guatemalan farm labor instead of Mexican.

 

[LeChampion1992]

At the end of the day the modern left in the west is Anti western. The western man and world has been so degraded by the modern left that you can't be a white guy and support whiteness and be a good leftist.

Again to be a leftist you must be agaisnt the oppressor and the oppressed is always good and the oppressor is always evil.

Every issue turns into who is the oppressor and who is the oppressed. A lunatic troon who goes into womens spaces to creep on them is still oppressed because they're fighting against hetro-normativity.

You could be for mass redistribution of the wealth but because you wish to rally around the flag and use nationalism or patriotism then you are not a good leftist by modern standards.

This is why leftist and liberal women will say and do the suicidally most stupid things because left is team good team good people and the right is team evil and bad you should never support em.

Again the modern left supports mass immigration for one reason native populaces aren't as keen on giving up their lands to the state while foreigners are always happy to take or buy land off the natives.

​

the other side of that coin is coddling criminals and throwing the concept of "Ignorance of the Law is NO Excuse" right out the window. So that people cry for crackdowns then bingo, Police State.

 

[last whitey in Toronto]

Because left-wing economics is about ending exploitation and injustice for everyone, not just the people in your country. If Person A is wealthier than Person B, basic Marxist analysis says that Person A is benefiting unjustly from a system that oppresses and robs Person B. The fundamental tenets of justice require dismantling that system. It may mean Person A becomes poorer, not richer. Is the common working man in the UK better off than the common working man in India? Yes. Therefore, the system that unjustly expropriates the common working man of India must be dismantled, and we can help do that by opening borders worldwide.

Marx was against immigration. He literally wrote it's the tool of the capitalist to reduce the workers' bargaining power. It's why every communist in history didn't allow immigration. You could not immigrate to the Soviet Union. You can't immigrate to China, Vietnam, Cuba or North Korea.

The only time he meant for the international masses to be helped was for them to also become communist. As a one world government. Otherwise your nation loses if you give benefits to anyone who comes in your as communism is a closed loop economic model. It's why the West is faltering. The UK pays more in benefits then it collects in taxes.

My opinion is that there are at least 4 major groups fighting to control the entire world. These groups have slightly different goals once in power but the road to global unification, in their minds, starts with destabilizing the current system.

They are ALL midwits and their destabilization plan has no gaurantee that any of them will actually be the ones in charge of the ruins.

Leftists don't regard Marx as a divine oracle.

Which 4 groups at least?

 

[Gandhi's Left Hook]

Which 4 groups at least?

European and US elites
Islam
Tiny Hat People
Catholics
State powers: China, Russia, India

None of these groups is fully aligned within itself. The subgroups of each are engaged in vicious infighting. Also, I'm sure there are elite, hidden groups in each of these major groups who are the people who really control things, but I disavowed NWO faggotry in my teens, so I never got an invite to the midwit club.

 

[Nick Wilde]

Intelligence agencies developed the identity politics psyop in the 60s, and deployed it against every left wing organisation they could conceivably infiltrate. It can be seen hapenning repeatedly over the latter half of the 20th century/early 21st century. It was remarkably effective at neutralising the threat of a "real" left and replacing it with a liberal version that actually serves, rather than threatens, the elites.

It's tinfoil hat material but I stick by this story. What helped it work is that most leftist organisations in the west were already led by middle class academic types, not workers; they were always much more easily co-opted to support and proselytise subversive values.
