    Traitors to their own people… and the Global South. My bet is that they were once immigrants too.

      I literally know undocumented immigrants that wanted other undocumented immigrants to be caught by ICE so there is more jobs left for them and rent prices go down for them, according to what they said. Individualism has made people cut throat af.

        Opinion only. But my guess is individualism grew from a increase in cut throat people.

        Capitalist billionaires gaining control of world governments. Then using it to move the world to a modern reinteretation of feudalism. Is IMHO the actual cause of the increase.

      I have a few coworkers that are Mexican and one that is Puerto Rican and all of them would happily help deport their neighbors because in their eye they’re one of the good ones.
