    Of course, it’s not about work ethic. They’re aware as anyone else that long term unemployment de-radicalises people from being employment fundamentalists. It works in the exact way that a cult doesn’t want the members of their cult associating with non-cult people.

    I mean, what if they learn self respect or the value of life outside of work?

        After a year of unemployment one may have their eyes opened to how truly awful the modern working conditions and hours are. They may even pick up a hobby, make non work friends and God forbid enjoy life outside of prepackaged holiday trips. In short, unemployment can be a mirror to unfair and insane employment conditions.
