@cstross I agree with that there is nuance there, but that nuance sounds to me like a condemnation, a condemnation of the “freeloaders” in society, and that rhetoric of pitting one group against another is fundamentally immoral to me.

The narrative becomes: you feel that you’re strapped for cash? That’s because [immigants, disabled, etc] are taking your money. Tbh I think that’s in many ways worse than my initial interpretation, because this scapegoating of one group is on the pathway to violence against that group. I think it’s dangerous.
