“India’s a black hole.” – World War Z
How many Indians does it take to change a lightbulb? Sixteen. Fourteen to argue about whose responsibility it is, one to explain that lightbulbs are better in India and invented by Indians, and one to call the power plant to tell it to reboot because it must be a software issue. (all memes “as-found”)
Picture a world where kids in Bangladesh sew soccer balls for pennies (whatever a penny was), and some goatherder in Albania is working at a factory cranking out VCRs. VCRs, like it’s 1985 and I’m renting Back to the Future from Blockbuster®. I kid. Albania doesn’t even have electricity yet.
But that’s the flavor of globalism’s siren song that leads economies to doom: anything can be made anywhere, as long as the price is dirt cheap. I’ve heard the refrain, even in the comments here: “If you complain about competing against Albaniaks and Bangladeshites, well, you’re a commie that doesn’t believe in capitalism.”
If the goal of capitalism was to serve itself, well, then yes. It’s a battle of all against all, and whoever can outbreed the next country to lower the cost of (spins wheel) designer purses should make them.
I mean, it sounds great for your wallet, right?
Wrong. This is a strategy for hollowing out the West’s economy, stripping our skills, and handing our jobs to foreigners who don’t play by our rules at all, transforming our country into Albania on the Atlantic. Globalism is not just bad economics, it’s a betrayal of the West. And politicians love it.
But The Simpsons killed off Apu . . . maybe he wanted a raise?
Isn’t it strange that no matter how many times we vote “No, we don’t want any more aliens, illegal or not” that they nod their heads and bring them in? Is it any stranger that no matter how many times we vote, “No, we don’t want our factories shipped to places that don’t use vowels,” that our factories are shipped to places that haven’t yet invented vowels?
It’s a betrayal of the West
Let’s break it down. Globalism turns labor into a commodity, like trading baseball cards, except the cards are my job, my skills, and my family’s (and country’s) future. It’s a race to the lowest cost. Why pay an American $30 an hour when a kid in Swaziland (Swaziland still exists, right?) works for a handful or USAID® rice a day?
Why build a factory in Ohio when Ceylon’s got sweatshops begging for your blueprints? The GloboLeft (and, let’s be fair, the RINOs, too) cheer this as “progress,” but it’s a death spiral. Here’s how it plays out, step by step, until the West’s economy is a husk.
Thankfully all the Indians in Canada are very good with hand-held electronics. Tractor-trailers? Not so much.
The Stages of Economic Suicide
- Design machines, build machines that make stuff, and make stuff: This is the golden age—think 1950s America. We designed cars, built the factories to make cars, and made cars. America flourished. Families thrived. Grandpa’s lunchpail as he went to work the railroad that shipped those cars meant something. Skills stayed home, and so did the wealth.
- Design and make machines that make stuff: By the 80s, we’re still designing and building the machines, but the stuff’s starting to come from Japan and Taiwan as they focus on quality and crack the United States market. We’re losing the “make stuff” part, but hey, at least we’ve got Wall Street.
- Design machines to sell to people who make stuff: Now we’re just selling blueprints. China’s got the factories to make iPhones® we’ve got the patents for the iPhones©. The know-how’s slipping—designing isn’t building. People don’t learn to weld by drawing a weld on paper.
- Buy stuff made by other people from machines you designed: Welcome to the 2000s. Now we’re just selling blueprints. China’s got the factories to make iPhones® we’ve got the patents for the iPhones©. The know-how is now slipping—designing isn’t building. People don’t learn to weld by drawing a weld on paper. Our skills erode. No one in Ohio knows how to make a microchip anymore. The muscle memory of manufacturing? Gone. Microchips? They struggle with Pringles™.
- Buy stuff made and designed by other people: The endgame. Now we become a country of consumers now, buying Chinese drones. All that’s left are knowledge jobs (coding, engineering), service jobs (baristas, Uber), and jobs that can’t be exported (plumbers, cops, construction). But wait—why not outsource the knowledge jobs too?
This is where globalism’s knife cuts deepest. The West’s economy is hollowed out, with a Starbucks® in the lobby of the Citibank™ that’s in a bigger Starbucks®. Oh, and Amazon warehouses.
Manufacturing’s gone, and with it, the skills that built manufacturing in the first place. And then? The GloboLeftElite says: “Hey, let’s import foreigners for the knowledge jobs too!” Enter the H-1B visa, and the West’s last stronghold starts to crumble. To be clear, the Donald and the Musk both love those H-1B visas, too.
Here’s the dirty truth: foreigners don’t like us. They don’t think like us. They don’t value the same things we do. In some cases the only thing we have in common is that we both consume oxygen.
Take India. Please.
I bet the driver felt enriched by the diversity.
India is the poster child for H-1B tech workers. Their culture rewards “cleverness”. So does ours, but the definition is very different. To an Indian, “cleverness” is: lying, cheating, and deception.
To be clear, these are all fair game under their religious and cultural framework. Don’t take my word for it: a 2019 report estimated 30% of tech resumes from India include fake degrees or inflated credentials. India ranks 93 out of 180 on Transparency International’s 2024 Corruption Index. Nepotism and bribery are practically Olympic® sports for India, which is good because despite being a nation of 1.4 billion people, their only Olympic© was a bronze in Yahtzee™.
But hey, don’t take my word for it.
Then there’s the caste system. It’s not just history from some movie filled with short, weak brown people who can’t quite speak English and fight with women over the five-pound barbells. No. The caste system is alive, even in Silicon Valley. Indian managers on H-1B visas often hire their own: same caste, same village, same cousin. I think the CEO of Microsoft™ is the uncle of half the company.
Merit?
Nope, it’s about loyalty to the clan. A 2021 study found 90% of Indian-led tech firms in the U.S. had Indian-majority staff, despite only 20% of H-1B visas going to Indians. Nepotism is their game, and it locks Americans out of jobs in their own country.
I bet they think that’s what they call clever, but it’s escaped scrutiny because it is what the GloboLeft calls this “diversity”.
Globalism’s promise is cheap stuff, which sounds nice until you’re unemployed because an Indian manager hired his brother-in-law over you. The West’s economy was built on trust and competence, not the caste and the scam. Outsourcing knowledge jobs to cultures that don’t share our values is like handing your house keys to a guy who thinks picking locks is a personality trait.
Why let this happen? Because the GloboLeft and their Chamber of Commerce Republican buddies love it. Cheap labor means cheap goods means more profit this quarter and damn the country.
But it’s clear: we can’t build wealth by outsourcing our future to foreigners who don’t like us and think our rules are stupid and weak. To be clear: the elites don’t care—they’re too busy cashing checks to care and hoping that TEMU® will sell a quality yacht soon.
This isn’t just economics; it is the destiny of a people.
The West thrived because we valued competence. Again, economic systems aren’t the goal. The goal is the well being of the people in a country. I mean, even the Albanians could read this post and agree.
I mean, they’d read it if they had electricity.
In my stories, I really do not mention India at all. The four Great Powers see no point to engage with them.
There’s a reason that God put a wall around it.
1) Hamilton, therefore, believed that the federal government must be “a Repository of the Rights of the wealthy.” As the nation’s first secretary of the treasury, he proposed an ambitious financial plan to achieve that.
2)Nevertheless, President Washington and Congress both accepted Hamilton’s argument. By the end of 1794, 98 percent of the country’s domestic debt had been converted into new federal bonds.

Well, Washington had a lot of stuff to protect. Wealth is good, but it’s not the goal.
John – – Again, an excellent expose of our current economic system’s failings.
You had better not stay in a motel…. Or need computer repairs…..
They have long memories; short pages of moral strictures and outnumber all the rest of us.
If you want a computer repaired, find an American video gamer or one of the hundreds of thousands of underemployed American programmers. Nearly all of them can repair computers and they do a better job than 99.99999% of Indian “techies.”
Motel? My travel days are mostly behind me. Used to travel a lot for work, can’t imagine it now.
Computers? I have kids.
Do we get to play Cowboys and Indians again, soon?
Boats. We need boats.
‘Half-way To Afrika’.
There was a documentary that came out many years ago that was describing the infrastructure issues facing India. At the time, the govt. had instituted a program to provide free community restrooms in many of the villages in an effort to improve sanitation. Many such restrooms had been installed under the program but most still weren’t being used.
The camera crew interviewed residents of one such community and asked why they weren’t using the new toilets. Their answer…..they viewed defecating in a field as a social occasion. They would go out in groups and catch up on gossip while they all pooped together. They couldn’t do that as easily in the community bathroom.
One person was (really) killed when trying to convince them to use it.
Many own, and run, hotels. You know it’s a crap hotel when you walk into the lobby, smell incense mixed with body odor, and the thermostat is set on 80 in the Summer. To them, it’s perfectly normal, and they don’t hide their derision of Americans.
I might do a post on the reason for that. Maybe Monday I’ll touch on “why”.
Sounds like the Indians have a lot in common with the Jews, except for the banking thing.
It is a tribal and a not-Christ-follower thing.
Few people appreciate how radical the hinge-point of the Creator entering His creation was. For the first time, the weight of human entropy* could be reversed. A man could, every day; every hour, self-correct: Acknowledge his failing, hand it off to Christ, and be granted renewed hope and spiritual energy to re-enter the fray of life.
Of course we all start at different places, hang grimly to different self- and other-destructive desires, and so on.
But this one is a game changer.
The gods of the copybook headings will not be denied. Barring a miracle, entropy always wins.
*what normal people used to call sin
I wonder what would happen if the roles were reversed? You already know the answer.
Rather incongruous to be looked down upon by some skinny, brown cretin who wipes with his hand after sh!tting on the pavement. They have swarmed into high tech with all of the terrible downstream effects that nightmares are made of. I spent the last few years of my career in defense electronics untangling horrible code that any American college freshman would be too embarrassed to take credit for. By the time I retired, I was the only native English speaker on my ‘team’, and I bailed specifically because I was about to be replaced as lead by a Pajeeta half my age. It wasn’t very long ago that only native-born Americans were permitted to work on DoD programs. Not anymore.
When I sold my house back in 2021, an H1-B type offered us $100k above the asking price. Fortunately, our agent pulled us aside and warned us, sotto voce, that the pajeets are notorious for securing the seller’s commitment with insanely high offers, only to chew them down with ‘concessions’ for unreasonable demands before closing. Saved us a world of trouble, I am sure.
Your agent was right. I wish ours had been as wise.
Your agent was wise.
I had delivered hazardous materials to an Air Force Base in Utah. At the gate were many trucks staged and were not about to move. Reason: one had to be an American with a CDL-A to enter. Myself and maybe 2-3 other drivers were American. Ready? The Brokers and Carriers were informed of this requirement before securing the loads.
H1B had no advantages with Air Force security people, no games with them.
Wish the State Patrol would have been arresting them at the gate.
Here in Canada, the jeets are an absolute nightmare, brought to you by Justin Trudeau and His All-Canadian Import a Constituency Program…
This is for now an urban issue, but those of us in the sticks are noting and preparing for the eventual onslaught.
Yeah, I’ve heard they’ve taken over trucking, and the results are horrible.
It’s easy as A-B-C.
a) The women betrayed the men. Long, long ago.
b) The financial elite betrayed the working people. Long ago.
c) The of-colors betrayed the whites. More recent vintage, see a) and b) for how.
New Amerika is a nation of betrayers. Everybody looking for the advantage outta somebody else’s skin. Predatory, but without the nobility of animals.
The rich feed off the poor, send their daughters to Wellesley, Smith, and Barnard to further curse the land. Dotter-daddy keeps princess for himself while setting her on the guaranteed-career track, then brags about his treachery at the office and the church.
As for the of-colors, the OP above will do just fine.
Civil war graphs are pretty, but you’re already in one, looks like to me.
I’d line up a handful of acquired ‘elites’ and an assortment of prominent empowered ‘minorities’ of the upper strata and set starved, feral boars on them . . . or perhaps barrows would be more appropriate, under the circumstances, that sweet ‘n satisfying Jezebel touch? I will give it some thought.
The remainder, of course, largely would commence re-betraying one another . . . if allowed free rein. Human nature. The Example wouldn’t be of much help unless accompanied by a spiritual revolution that re-sets the nationalistic duties of the citizenry.
A masculine, Christian nation still could thrive — as it did in my youth — because domestic resources are plentiful and God will back you up if I ask.
But are there enough Heritage Americans left, enough reasonably righteous and decent, to start again? I dunno. Ain’t been in that shithole for a decade. It’d be fun finding out tho.
It’s the precursor to war, at least. And we’re in the precursor to a world war, too.
“But are there enough Heritage Americans left, enough reasonably righteous and decent, to start again? I dunno. Ain’t been in that shithole for a decade. It’d be fun finding out tho.”
I’m going to say “yes, there are” – although I don’t know either. I figure we’ll see, soon enough.
There are.
Here, here!
Thank you!
Years ago, I entered into a contract to install leak detection equipment at an Apu-Owned C-Store; 50% down. Check bounced; per the contact, I abrogated it. Apu sued me to complete installation.
Judge threw it out, but lawyer cost was $1K back in 1991. After that, always said “too busy” to any Apu.
Your experience is apparently quite common. A remodeler here was telling me he had the same sort of issues before in doing jobs for Indian clients. He said they were always the pickiest a__holes on the planet and he refused to take them on as clients. As you said, now he is always “too busy”.
And they wonder why . . . ?
There was a young lass from Delhi

She liked to eat feces

India the worst country on earth:

Why haven’t they died from gawd knows every disease?
I expected the Codex. Still can’t make more than five minutes of that.
10:34,
I watched through fifty-one minutes of your linked documentary.
I need a shower and may not sleep for weeks.

What is wrong with Elon and President Trump thinking they can import HB-1 half-wit inbred urine-soaked feces-eaters.
Those people are worse than any Third World, they require a separate category — Non World.
Can’t swing a dead cat without hitting these scum these days. Curse of the Americas.
Curse of our culture to be so productive and so welcoming.
It amazes me that India and China are very similar yet one has done very well economically, and the other still has half the population defecating in the street. Why the difference? I can only speculate but I’ve worked with many scientists from both countries and I think it boils down to a difference in work ethic.
Neither group seems to do well in terms of innovation or being able to “self-start” on a project. More often than not, I would usually have to spell out the work that was needed in detail at which point a Chinese scientist on the team would usually work diligently and accurately to get it done. The Indian scientist though, could never be relied on to finish on time or do the work properly. It wasn’t that the Chinese scientist was smarter, it seemed (my opinion) that the Indian just didn’t care.
I think this is why China has been able to build a manufacturing empire because all they need is someone else to work out the details for them, which they can then steal/buy the know-how and carry through to completion. In contrast, most of India’s businesses involve leaching off of US companies (e.g. call centers, IT). It’s the path of least resistance for them which is why they are unable to build anything that is truly their own.
Remember, the people are genetically different. Start there.
“…jobs that can’t be exported (plumbers, cops, construction)…”
.
YouTuber ‘cyfy’ does home inspections in Arizona.
He does new construction and One-Year Warranty inspections.
.
Invariably, he discovers basic installation flaws around the homes.
Often, he finds structural defects… some so severe, they require demolition of the entire building.
.
Apparently, the assemblers are unskilled day-labor from the curb at The Home Depot.
.
Cy also finds urine-soaked insulation prior to sheetrocking, urine-soaked subfloors, urine-soaked cabinets, urine-soaked attics.
These are not healthy people.
.
I think the vast majority of those Arizona construction workers are spiritually and mentally exported, they just happen to temporarily be in our neck of the woods.
