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”??

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!

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.

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.

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”.

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.
