Doesn't "so hungry they eat cats" indicate the failures of the food safety net and the suffering of the immigrants? I don't get why this story would make anyone with an ounce of empathy less sympathetic to immigrants instead of more sympathetic.
It really is a scathing indictment of our country that, even if the allegations were true (they aren't), the proposed solution to the problem Republicans have offered up is to deport all of the people back to their home country rather than just... I dunno. Making sure they have other means of feeding themselves.
What the fuck has become of our society?
What the fuck has become of our society?
Mass media manipulation, constant class war, a legacy of ultrapatriotism, and crippled education has turned us into a nation of people arrogant in their own ignorance and fed up with how shit the world is today.
Mass media keeps us all at each other's throats, stirring up hate and violence for views, and those media owners are almost all old conservative white men who will gladly court fascism for lower taxes.
What we perceive as food safety net failures is just another active weapon in the class war.
Everyone will wring their hands and say 'What can we do it's the economy!' when it is rich people actively trying to erase who they consider as undesirable.
They aren't trying to eliminate the poor. The rich want them desperate enough that they "choose" to become slaves.
This is actually incorrect and European nobility showed the template.
Do you know who served in the houses of the truly powerful? The children of the slightly less powerful. For example, the Groom of the Stool, charged with wiping the king's ass amongst other toiletry things, was a position hotly contested by noble families of all levels.
Once they wipe out the poverty class, their servants will be what remains of the middle class, who will be desperate to maintain their lifestyle.
It isn't spoken of out loud but among the ultra wealthy, having an all white staff is considered a mark of social status. And once those disenfranchised middle class families bend the knee, their uncertain future is resolved and we have reinvented feudalism.
It's where we're heading.
you could look at it as they aren't hungry, but like the taste of cat. let's be honest, Americans don't know much about other countries, many have never left their own states. so they don't know if they eat cats there or not.
We generally don't eat animals that eat other animals to avoid collecting pathogens and diseases.
