Well there you go, writing a whole group pf people off and saying they are beyond help & can never earn decent incomes, never take personal responsibility, never know the dignity and the self esteem that comes with paid work, never know the camaraderie of a workplace & the joy and respect that goes with that.
Why are the Left so keen to write people off and say they are beyond help?
Why are the Left so keen to see drug addicts stay on the drugs, stay on a benefit, and eventually succumb to a miserable death in some execrable hovel somewhere?
Why do the Left - who say they are all about ‘rehabilitation’ and second chances - not want ‘ex crims’ to work?
Why do the Left want to see someone with ‘stress’ stay on a benefit for the rest of their lives?
Because the Left needs societal flotsam and jetsam to both sustain its philosophy, & to provide its support base. The Left needs to be able to point at various groups of ‘victims’ and say “see, the system doesn’t work, ‘capitalism’ has failed, we need ‘progressivism, we need a revolution’. The Left needs downtrodden and disenfranchised people to sustain it, it needs to stoke envy and hate. It needs to stoke anger and division. Don’t ever think that the Left promotes ‘kindness’. It is quite the opposite.
This social experiment could have come from the left - ie the labour party.
Regardless of where it comes from its doomed to fail.
Keep in mind if they do get a job they're still poor and not gonna be national voters.
I don’t care about who they vote for, I care that they are supported and helped and get back into society rather than die in a ditch somewhere so that the Left can use them in its nihilistic propaganda.
If you had any empathy you’d get past your bleak pessimism and get in behind initiatives like this, rather than pooh-pooh the whole thing before you even see the detail. But I suppose you approach every issue with a Left-wing mindset: “Duh, ‘neoliberalism’, duh, ‘capitalist exploiters’….trickle down hurr durr…’selfish’, innit….Marx good…ACT bad.”
Marx would endorse putting these workers into the capitalist economy to sabotage the production process.
I'm for lifting and not lowering NZ's productivity.
As I said before: you’ve written off thousands of people and have said they are beyond rehabilitation & beyond redemption. Even people who have ‘stress’! You are perfectly happy to see them live hand-to-mouth on benefits for the rest of their days. I’m disgusted at your attitude.
You seem to like Marx as you spreak about him alot.
I don't have alot of time for long dead philosophers (except the greek ones who were brilliant).
Wonder why - he's running to be our PM.
I'm not trying to revive someone whose long expired. :)
