I've been using reddit more and my fucking god the programming subreddits are horrifically racist. when asked why the cs industry is so bad right now they all turn to blaming indian people for "stealing" tech jobs. I want to know how these white guys making $150k a year in their cushy remote jobs with flexible hours would feel if they had to work 14 hours a day until midnight so they don't inconvenience their usamerican coworkers by making them wake up earlier, all for worse positions and shit wages too.
and like yes, many tech jobs have been offshored to india, but that's not the fault of the people who live there, it's the fault of corporations who want to cut costs across the board by exploiting a larger labor pool in a country where they don't have to pay nearly as much per employee. the benefits are twofold, as after they've offshored these jobs to india, they can drive down wages in the us too, knowing that they've created a smaller, more competitive market that leads to people so desperate for work that they'll take any tech job, no matter how little it pays.
you have an enemy, and it's not the people that are now getting these jobs; they're just trying to make ends meet and live their lives, and they'll take whatever opportunities they can get in order to do so. you have more in common with them than you'll ever have with your boss, who benefits greatly from turning you against each other. imagine what we could do if we united against them instead.
People who have been labeled "anxious" or "paranoid" can still be in legitimate danger. People who have been labeled "dramatic" and "attention seeking" still have legitimate needs. People who have been labeled "lazy" still have legitimate struggles. People who have been labeled "stupid" still have legitimate concerns. Don't dehumanize and pathologize people in the name of psychiatry

Not my meme but figured I'd share for those about to ride out the storm
Edit bc I'm seeing a lot of confused international reblogs: this was posted because of Hurricane Milton absolutely demolishing Florida this week after Helene went through and because US insurance agencies are kind of assholes. Stay safe out there and thanks for signal boosting!

Anyway, able bodied people need to stop blaming people’s chronic pain on their diets.
Like no mom, my hips aren’t in excruciating pain because I ate a couple cookies last night.
