(CW: racism) If you want to know how bad South Africa is doing, read the comments to see rich white people defending having borderline personal slaves 🥶
Seriously. Reading this shit has me almost in tears. This is not the future we fought for. People should not live like this.

Would love to see a South African version of Parasite just to really drive it home.
Would like to abolish domestic work more. People can clean their own bloody homes, ne
totally. I understand it when really old, disabled people hire cleaners to come out or home health aids. but I've seen way too many able bodied rich fucks do it.
I have no respect for that. I knew a lib couple in their 40s that hired a very poor old lady in her 60s to clean their house once a week. I wanted to beat their asses, but I settled for telling them that if I hired some woman my mother's age to clean up after me, my actual mom would disown me.
Yeah disabled and elderly people need assistance, but able bodied adults doing this really make me feel sick/weird inside
An elderly relative of mine works a few hours a week doing laundry and cooking for a fancy old-money family. My relative is awestruck at how fancy yet friendly these people are but from the stuff she tells I sense that she also sees them as helpless children who would be wearing dirty rags, had she not been around to mother them and make sure their clothes were neat and their tablecloths folded correctly.
