Unlike these folks, you don't have to be. Quit.

It’s planned. I’ll do something actually useful for people, work in medical/social care or maybe go back to farming (what my family has been doing since generations).

Feeding people with something else than marketing bullshit to their brain, feeding them something they can eat.

Would you be happier if we were exploiting Eastern Europeans instead?

[duneisagoodbook]

This is a false dichotomy, gross exploitation does not need to present.

This couldn’t happen because of minimum wages. And yes I would be happy if white people would stop colonizing every piece of land and people they can find to fiddle with their little capitalist toys.

I suspect the answer is yes.

As bad as the wages might seem to someone making 1000x this, it still might be a decent salary for someone living in abject poverty and also offers the possibility that their services become more in demand as AI takes over our world which allows them to demand higher wages. Much earlier in my life I was the one to be negative on capitalism but after experiencing this process first hand I am a supporter of it. Although there are many situations where it hasn't delivered the intended benefits but in aggregate I would bet that it has.
