I have found myself to be a campaigner for unemployed people lately because the government reforms will strip them (and us) from their rights of benefits after a certain amount of time.
I can tell you that it might be easier campaigning for 100% vegan communisme than it is to say that these people deserve to exist too lol. Might as well consider them non human if you believe the mainstream opinion.
But you don’t need to be an overly sympath to see that stripping thousands of people of their only safety net income will be a disaster.
‘JUST FIND A JOB THEN REEEE’ Yeah, if only it were that easy, right?
Like, YOU are closer to unemployment than you think. And then I will also have to tell YOU that no, after x months of benefits you can basically go get fucked. And then people will realise hopefully.
If unemployment wasn’t so uncomfortable and hard less people would be applying for positions and that would make wages for the employed go up.
Find a job, first nessecitates that some company sees you as a human worthy of their exploitation
