rise of Germany's far right

Poland begins to sweat profusely.

Really seems like Poland is in a race to the bottom with Germany with how much popularity Polish far right parties are gaining.

[-] Myro@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

It is a problem for everyone. Though looking at Switzerland, where the far right is dominating since a long time, workers are still immigrating.

Xenophobia is bad for corporate profits. Immigrants are needed to suppress local wages.

It's pretty bad for everyone, actually. Have fun with your throwaway.

[-] dCDbJz8o@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It’s only good for far right parties because it wins them votes but they also tend to enjoy the benefits of immigration - lower wages. My point is that they can’t have it both ways.

[-] Andreas@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

They can. My country's right wing parties supported mass immigration together with the left, and once the consequences of it became too severe to ignore, they switched to "drain the swamp" campaigning to get votes. Now that they got the votes and are a majority in government, no concrete action is being taken to solve the problems of mass immigration, but corporate subsidies are being handed out.

i thought u were living in italy, but apparently its not the only place where migrants get treated like this

[-] Andreas@feddit.dk -2 points 1 year ago

This is happening across the entire continent. Mass immigration is a common strategy to destabilize social systems and force voters to accept bad compromises.

immigrants only benefit business owners: pay migrant less ➡️ migrant gets taxed less ➡️ less taxes for the system ➕ owner pocket extra money. immigrants are just another tool for tax evasion.

so society becomes worse, and business owner becomes richer. capitalists only bring destruction to the world.

Yes, immigrants take all the jobs, they definite to don't contribute to the economy too.. /s

[-] dCDbJz8o@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’m an immigrant myself. While I do contribute to the economy all people get is higher rent and no increase in pay. The housing stock isn’t keeping up with the immigration rates and there’s no incentive for employers to compete for workers by increasing wages because there are always more people willing to work for less.

[-] alexius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Incredibly hot take. You framed your sentences in a way that the logical conclusion is xenophobia = based. Please don’t.

true

why are u donwvoted ?

[-] hh93@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

I guess because the "suppress local wages" thing sounds a lot like the "immigrants took our jobs" thing

[-] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

It's more of a hate the game not the player situation though. You can recognise that having a large influx of people for whom are happy to work for lower wages and not rock the boat to fight for higher ones as they're still better off than they would be at home keeps wages depressed, without blaming them for doing so as we all would in their boat. The blame should lie with you national government and employers for not investing in the local workforce.
