He also takes most of the book to get to "anyway, these dipshit white workers in the imperial core aren't adding value and have bullshit jobs in large part" which I felt made much of the rest of the book the material context that Bullshit Jobs sort of lacks.
Bullshit jobs was supposed to sneak in and pull people left.
it was a real eye opener how Sakai pointed out that black people in the American south had a complete, working economy that could provide for itself, how the Indian nations all had complete, working economies that could provide for itself, how quickly Asian immigrants on the west coast built up the economy there and how white America has never had that. It didn't even want to, having others do that work for them was the settler's plan all along. The USA by design never was a viable economic system that could stand on its own legs, it always needed to parasitize on the labor of the opressed peoples for that and still does to this day.
