  • This is not a problem for big ag. That’s why no regional or national ag-orgs are complaining. This is not a face eating leopard moment, sadly.

    Campaneros still need to work. The pattern at the moment is they stay away for a few days after a raid, but then return. This benefits their bosses. Previously there were work stoppages to pressure bosses to raise the $/piece rate. Not now.

    Plus the regime has promised to replace the workers lost to their ethnic cleansing campaign with an expanded H2a visa program - after having stripped away many of the already meager protections against wage theft.

    The plantation lords know they’re getting cheaper, more exploitable labor.

    It’s also important to remember that non-violence serves the interest of entrenched power. The state is at its core a violence-control structure. When people excersize the power of violence in their own interests, the state must reassert it’s dominion or risk collapse.

    Non-violent requests can be accommodated without elites feeling like their ill-gotten power is threatened. But it’s often the violent demands that scare them into doing so.

    I have to admit I’m skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.

    Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we’re told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.

    As humans it’s rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.

    When he gets belly rubs he often raises his arms above his head in a “hands up don’t shoot” pose, and he always looks scared. I don’t have a photo of it cause I’m always too focused on getting that belly.

    But here’s a picture of him saying hello:
