I get what you mean. I won't pretend like bigotry isn't a core plank of the platform of the GOP or Independent Ireland. Still, an awful lot of bigoted people still felt the allure of people like Bernie Sanders and may join a trade union in certain circumstances. Such things also go a long way towards moving them away from bigotry if they succeed, because it shows that gay people and migrants were never the thing making them miserable.

My point though is moreso that saying that the farmers had it coming and giving up on them is not how one digs one's way out of the pit one is stuck in. I don't particularly wanna turn my back on conservative communities as irreparably fucked and feel proud of being smarter than them. I would like the community around me to be better. And saying that the farmers had it coming rather than using the opportunity to push them left is essentially patting oneself on the back for moral superiority rather than making life better.

I'm a migrant myself. I chose to come another country and integrate myself. I'd quite like it to be nicer, y'know?
