Again, another absolutist - at least you recognize some nuance.
I never said any of this was okay. I did recognize that there are likely some among them who are simply people trying to survive who saw an easy to get job that paid reasonably well & decided to put up with the crap in order to get the money they needed. They aren’t likely educated enough to understand the full moral implications, and too pressured by life’s demands to spend much time caring about them. Once they’re in, I’m sure there’s plenty of “team building” manipulation that helps keep them there.
I’m sure to you that makes them evil, but I think ignoring the fact they’re human just propagates the hate and division. Like I said earlier, I’m sure they’re not saints, but they may not be so far gone that respecting their humanity would be a waste of time. Some of them probably just needed support they weren’t getting elsewhere. If you actually want to change their mind, you’ve first got to understand what got their mind there to begin with. Treating them as subhuman isn’t going to get you very far. You can respect the person without respecting their job.
