Today Andrew Sullivan links to Messrs. Matthew Yglesias, Conor Friedersdorf and Daniel Drezner, et al., defending the greatness of outsourcing, complaining of the "ridiculous offensive[ness]" of Obama's campaign against Bain's vulture capitalism. Ah, lickspittles of capital, unite! You have nothing to lose but other people's jobs!
Seriously, what is fucking offensive is that these people, who are by no measure possible working class, seek to defend the destruction of entire communities, entire swathes of the country, in the name of a false idol of economic efficiency; or, for the more bleeding heart among them, in order to better the lives of Chinese peasants (this is the actual sweatshop defending line of Yglesias). I thought we were Countrymen? Or are we only Countrymen when my family, friends, and neighbors go to fight the immoral and ill-considered wars these assholes cheer for?
Jesus Fucking Christ.
