Well shit, i was send to job fairs multiple times by the employment office and also get mandatory offers (mandatory because i would lose health insurance if i didn't go). And not only me, millions of people were in the same situation at some point.
Adrian please write about this ongoing Polish genocide of Poles.
If it's against someone's will, it's problematic. Making everyone into good worker drones may be desirable for the higher ups, but not for the individual.
I have never applied to a job because I wanted to work. I have never consented to live in a society where I must pay most of my money each month to someone who does absolutely no work. Suicide rates have never been higher in the US. I'm not saying this to do an epic own online, but to point out that we should stop being selective with these valid criticisms, because doing so creates a false dichotomy that only benefits our own exploiters here at home.
Those who were imprisoned were in for being East Turkistan Separatists, a terrorist org that had been killing hundreds in various knife attack sprees and mowing random people down with cars in major East-Coast cities. Would it problematic to remove the poverty from their lives to remove the main source of radicalism and train them for careers so that they're now able to have a job instead of needing to join a fascist organization?
"But did the individual consent to being deradicalized?" Is a great example of how myopically individualistic western society tends to be.
Main problem about those job fairs and mandatory offers was that it never resulted in actual employment. Those "fairs" had 20 job posts ranging from Amazon work camp through shady mining job in some forsaken hole up to wiping asses of old fash in Germany, and those mandatory offers were also either scam jobs or telemarketing and the real purpose of it was to make you lose time and money and make you pissed off so you write off yourself from the office list so they can report lowering unemployment.
Contrast with other countries, where people are free to not work.
This is a thing in the US as well. Various benefits being tied to work that you have to apply for to retain the benefits and can’t deny offers for without risking losing those services.
