By this logic - and I’m not saying you’re wrong - a good strategy for low education workers would be to try and limit the supply and thus limit low education immigration.
Which would explain current American (and most of western Europe’s) politics and its right wing culture rather well, and indicate that low education workers make rather rational voting decisions.
Happy to hear other analyses :).
- xrd 3y agoI really wanted to down vote your comment based on my own reactions to it, but I can't fault your conclusions.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYeah, the problem with political discourse these days is assuming that the "other side" is irrational. Vast majority of people have beliefs that are at least defensible if you take care to look into their individual situation. They may be globally irrational, but they are usually locally rational (in the algorithmic sense of "global"/"local", not geographical). (If in doubt, the reason for any widespread and stable set of beliefs is usually economical in nature.)
- brayhite 3y agoI’ve not heard anyone call them irrational for voting to protect their job access. The irrational takes regarding immigration IMO are the ones suggesting immigrants are a unique source of increased crime, despite data analysis suggesting otherwise.
