Fascist Propaganda plays super hard on the fears and nagging doubts that come with being an immigrant. The fears of deportation, imprisonment, or worse, not fitting in. The fear that everything is for nothing because someone is always poised to steal it out from under you. The fear that you are simply too weak to make it in the world, that there are things you don't understand and never will.

The absolutely critical difference between the work you, your buddies, and basically everyone else wants to do, versus corporate """work""", is that you want to do it because it'd make you happier and your community healthier, as opposed to making a line go up for some shareholders who honestly wouldn't care if you died tomorrow so long as it made the line go up a little further. Neoliberal Capitalism is Hell, man.
