A real problem in both benefits claiming and immigration systems is that there are voters on the other side loudly demanding that the system be made more hostile and kafkaesque.
- ryandrake 7mo agoYea, it's a mistake to think everyone wants things to be better, and that we just need to organize. There is a huge, motivated voting block out there who want to make things worse, at least worse for people unlike themselves, and they are organized and fighting back (and usually winning).
- egorfine 7mo agoAnd bear in mind that there are quite a few politicians willing to monetize that by actually implementing those more hostile and kafkaesque rules.
