And that low-wage workforce is also heavily comprised of immigrants, people of color, and folks forced to migrate to Europe by Euroliberalism's plundering of Africa and Eurasia, etc. So Euroliberalism is trying to cook up a very nasty politics of neoimperial masculinity/whiteness to divide and rule, similar to the US version which the neolibs used to buy off the populace for 30 years.

Which is why the Arab Spring is so hugely important. It was - and is - not just a set of rebellions against US imperial rule, but it's also a rebellion against Euroliberalism.
