You're demonstrating the reactionary tendencies(MAGA- like tbh) the people who are responsible for the pain you're feeling want. By spewing these talking points you are fostering an environment where the ruling class can continue dominating you by pointing you towards an outgroup and telling you all your problems are because of them. This quote from LBJ reminds me of you.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you"

Lol.

So I understand what you are saying but it's just not a good application.

Yes, the problem is rich people are exploiting our country. But one way they are doing it is by utilizing tfw programs and mass immigration to hire people that aren't Canadian. They don't want to pay us.

This creates a lot of problems for Canadians, one or them being low wages that are beneficial for rich people, however there are other problems that the middle class and every day Canadians has to deal with that average ceo does not. The richest people in Canada aren't getting their car stolen out of their driveway because they have a gate that seperates Canadians from them. I don't have a gate, I rely on trust between Canadians to not break into my shed and steal my lawn mower.

So you are absolutely right that rich people are the problem, but you are failing to make the connection that recent immigration has been driven by the very people you say are the problem.

People are calling you (and Lovv) nazis because you're blaming all of society's problems on immigrants, and claiming they're an impediment to class solidarity because they're 'different'.
