155. It isnt human nature.
Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 04:25 PM by K-W
But yes, it is certainly a natural association.

I am not trying to imply maliciousness on anyones part. As I said, they come to this opinion earnestly. That does not however make it intelligent or correct.

But calling it human nature is very wrong because it implies that it is natural and unchanging. It is a product of a specific set of circumstances, and one of those circumstances is, the abscence of a better explenation for unemployment, and more modernly, the use of propagand to obscure, discredit, and marginalize the better explenation.

It is wholly unatural for workers to not understand the nature of thier society to the point where they they are left with little choice but to scapegoat immigrants. Again, I imply no maliciousness with my use of the word scapegoat.
