Breaking news! Liberal political scientist can't comprehend the concept of 'compradors'.
(hexbear.net)
I always knew the Liberal academia was white-centric but this level of ignorance is astounding!
ICE doesn’t give $50k signing bonuses either, going by the complaints of the goons in question
CBP doesn’t do that, never has, and never claimed to, and yet 50% of their staff are fucking kapos
i.e. people who only found out after they took the job and are probably still being strung along that they'll get it eventually if they don't quit.
The clause in their contract actually says they have to pay the bonus back if they quit before a couple of years
And that's the full bonus, pre-tax
Which, lol, hope you have some good savings
Okay so either they’re evil cruel people, or they’re both unbelievably desperate and also the dumbest people on the planet. Anyone could and did tell them that bonus would never materialize
Hard to say how much is ignorance, how much is believing atrocity propaganda, etc.
But also, idk man $50k is a lot of money but it’s not that much money. I have a STEM degree and could certainly make more money if I decided to do work that would kill people but I don’t want to kill people and so I do aging research and it didn’t take me a fucking moment of thinking to make that decision
Unless you’re being starved, it’s not that hard to not deliberately take a job to hurt specifically your community, and trying to come up with a “material conditions” based analysis to explain it I feel like takes away the agency of these monsters. They chose to do this, of their own free will, and they should hang for it. If they were truly pushed into it, that feels like excusing their actions.
I'm not trying to downplay the agency of these monsters, just saying that they probably care way more about money than anything else and don't really have any sort of moral compass. I'm not saying they were "forced into it" or anything like that, just that they like money and don't care about the people around them because our society is so atomized. The real mystery here is why that supposedly doesn't fit into any liberal political theory?
