In India, your servant cleans your house, your servant drives you around, your servant cooks food for you, your servant ties your shoes... community 🥰
I can't think of one other person who doesn't appreciate these luxuries! Wait, what do you mean "proles are people"?? 
"america sucks because the slaves cost too much"
Not if you're a business of sufficient size employing prison labor
How easy is it to raise your children in India if you're working as a maid?
I'm sure the maid can afford her own driver and maid on the maid salary she gets. Community!
I dont make the rules.
your class does and you are culpable as part of that class
And there's always the choice of not having personal servants or borderline neo feudal slaves. There is no requirement for hiring a maid once you reach a certain income level. It's not like the government is going to force you to hire someone once your first big paycheck arrives. "Keeping up with the Joneses" is a conscious choice and effort. Especially when "the Joneses", in this case, are a bunch of freaks that hsve personal servants and pay them like crap in a country with horrific poverty.
Being a class traitor is an even better option.
I don't make the rules
Very interesting, now face the wall please
claims raising a family is so much easier in India
admits it only applies to like 5% of the population
does not even consider the existence of the other 95%
Claims to not know anyone who can't afford slaves. Shocked to find out he doesn't consider slaves people.
A long while ago someone tried to convince me to take a job in Singapore on the same basis - get cheap help from whoever the underclass is there and do some white collar coasting. I also recall a similar pitch from the Saudi oil people when I was in university. It's pretty gross. I don't understand how people respond positively to that without vomiting.
whoever the underclass is there (Thai people? Idk) a
I think Filipinas make up most of the most exploited domestic workers in Singapore and elsewhere om SE Asia. Hong Kong has a particularly sordid history of mistreating foreign domestic workers - one of the few ways I will admit that they are indeed "closer to the English".
Filipinas
Boy I sure am glad they were saved from the tyranny of communism
The white sexpats in the Philippines sure think so...
I fucking hate anticommunists so much. This is the "freedom" they hold sacred. The thing they're willing to kill and enslave billions for. And they act like you're the monster if you don't agree.
The CPP and NPA are still in the struggle. Ang Bayan is their newsletter. Longest running communist insurgency in world history.
And when they start being racist toward Filipinos all of a sudden "HongKong is not China" doesn't apply anymore and it's all of our faults. CCP is too soft on HK.
I don't understand how people respond positively to that without vomiting
Just average pmc/corporate ladder type things
40k a year household income would put you in top 1% in India.
People, like the OP in the twitter post, really don't understand how exchange rates and super exploitation work, and just think you can compare 40K USD income in the US, to 40K USD in the global south. This goes both ways too, many people from the global south want to immigrate to the west thinking that earning dollars or euros is magical even if it's some minimum wage job, without considering how much more expensive everything is there.
The OP is in a superposition of acknowledging that $40k in India is equivalent to hundreds of thousands in the US, and pretending that it's a regular, maybe middle class income

True, though many of them also know that the cost of living is higher but they want to live extra frugally and send back their savings to their families at home where an extra $1k a year would actually be transformative.
Community is when you have a maid and a driver
In India, I have at times seen at restaurants families bringing the nanny along to look after the children while they do fuck all and the nanny always stands or sits at a different table on account of being a servant.
Shit like this is accepted as normal and no one cares. So far I haven't even come across the CPI address this.
Same in South Africa. You can guess the racial demographics involved, which further adds to how terrible it looks and is. I always give the people a death stare from my table. It's bullshit.
Yash I bet the vestiges of apartheid makes it look even more awful.
I just hope it ends. One day. Hopefully the children of those who suffered will never have to do this
Not too different from Guatemala either. Seems to be a running theme in countries experiencing colonialism.
Formerly colonised countries do seem to have their cultural and moral norms shaped heavily by colonialism and the class society it has left in its wake. There is a minority but signficant stratum of middle class Uncle/Auntie Toms that revel in inflicting upon the majority slightly softened forms of colonial servitude.
So many reasons that raising kids in the US in hellish and “you have to interact with them” tops your list? The fuck
Heard rich(and almost all white) South Africans say the exact same shit when asked about why they didn't immigrate to the west. These people are not ok.
i remember our convo about this same issue. it definitively fucks up the children. they think they can talk down to all black people.
Yeah, and that includes asking random black people at the store or supermarket for help as if they work there...
Seen it happen a few times.
is it getting better or has progress stalled would you say? i cant imagine it will get better till the racial inequality is solved.
It's getting better, but slowly.
Raising a child seems hellish in general.
Yeah, but some of us have a lot of sex, so it happens. 
Idk seems like a skill issue to me...
vasectomy gang and tubal litigation gang would like a word with you
tubal litigation gang
i will sue the FUCK out of your reproductive system
I'm not good at planning ahead.
Virgin finish insider vs chad pull outer
This is not me
Having 10,000 kids so that I can build an army of leftists
Sure "raising" children is a lot easier when you hire someone else to do it for you
i dont think life in india is that much cheaper than in the US where $40k has you living like a US multimillionaire... ive heard houses there are still like a $100k+. I guess what I'm saying is these servants are probably more like slaves.
If you ignore the servitude, there's actually a point underneath this ghoul's rant, which is that non-Europeans are okay with multi-generational households
uhhhhh
