Yeah, for sure. But the poster in the OP seems to suggest that people are mad at ordinary immigrants for food prices. I’ve literally never heard of that.
I agree it’s illogical but I wouldn’t be surprised if people thought it. Right-wing arguments appeal to people in large part because of their simplicity, saving people from having to reckon with complex issues. And what if the only checking in to their political system people do is from a biased platform like twitter, because they don’t want to take time to read an article and think critically, etc. I say this after having a talk with a family member recently that was disheartening because of some of their views and from my feeling like trying to discuss things with them was pretty fruitless given what their news diet is
Wait, who’s blaming immigrants for the price of food? I know they’ve been blamed for housing shortages, but food prices? Never heard of that one.
From vancouver area: some of housing shortage could be immediatley fixed if foreign investors were forced to rent out their places…so many empty homes
