This is what Capital thinks of the Average American Worker 🥰 Fat, stupid, lazy, and low integrity

Yeah I read this supposedly “excellent long read” only to find a bunch of bullshit opinions presented as fact. That whole section on Chinese labour being superior was equal parts “I knew a Chinese guy and he was a better worker” and “if you would just work 16 hours a day without complaining, we wouldn’t be falling behind”

It also manages, assuming it’s correct about there being no fat, drug-addicted, nor unhappy Chinese workers, to ignore completely the role socialism might be playing in these.

All that to say, these big business thinkbois are morons, and they love to glaze each other for using chat gpt to fill out a bullet list of half-conceived thoughts into a “long read”

Endless propaganda about American superiority but when the rubber meets the road they believe deep down we are all pigs 

Of course, there could be no reason an employee walks off other than his own moral failing right. Surely the boss here was treating the worker wonderfully …. right

In some way this is like comparing industrial ag to a farmers market stall. 

There are so few industrial workers in America compared to say, China. And There these people are embedded in a system designed for productivity, while American industry has been hollowed out 

when we outsourced manufacturing we didn’t just send the jobs overseas but the very idea of industrial labor as a legitimate life path

Ignoring the characterization here, I generally do think people in the west have become weak wrt the rest of the world.

I have no doubt the avg Chinese industrial worker is way more productive than the American one

I bet he gets mad that his tax dollars go to education but also doesn't think Americans are smart enough to work for him.

He wants the workers of a 1950’s Ford plant while being able to pay them sweatshop wages

I only skimmed this... but the author clearly thinks he's the greatest person ever to have lived.  He clearly sees people as a resource to be exploited.

Complicit yes, hiding behind diversity, no. I cannot believe in 2025 people are so up in arms about DEI. How do people not understand systemic inequality.

Democrats are complicit too. It’s just harder to see because they try to cover up their stupid bullshit with diversity panels. Dems are the PMC party!

GOP offshored American labor (and gutted any progress for the worker made under the New Deal) and now they’re trying to plug the holes they created decades ago. And creating more holes that they’ll just brainwash their followers to believe are real issues that need fixing because of the individual, and not a result of bad public policy. 

I’m a fat girl, damn maybe had I been born in china tho I’d be skinny???? Seems sus.

There might be valid points in there, but I'm surprised how smart people haven't realized how their "intelligence" comes across - its mansplaining but whatever the economic/class version of that is

The author isn’t a coastal elite but the thrust is similar isn’t it
