Unfortunamism

A black-ops disease prevalent among the less fortunate. Unfortunamism is caused by the effective use of discrimination, alienation and attrition. Modern capitalist societies use unfortunamism to keep large numbers of people (who would vote for more socialist policies) in a disenfranchised state, effectively removing their ability to act as a cohesive group.
Donald Trump would like to use unfortunamism on many illegal immigrants as it would help increase his profits without increased earnings. His companies could use the illegal immigrants as workers, not pay them, and when they complained they are deported.
