> I agree with you that the migrant workers are effectively a serf class.

Sounds like the Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics? Or 'out of sight, out of mind'?

not everyone has the same ethics or even subscribes to that
Exactly, some people think 'out of sight, out of mind' is great ethics! See https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/QXpxioWSQcNuNnNTy/...
no, more precisely, they can actively think about it and still believe it's not an issue. For example they can justify that the migrant workers are given a choice etc or it's better than some of their alternative.
If it's not clear: that's pretty close to what I believe, yes.

Calling the opposite position 'out of sight, out of mind' or 'The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics' kind of gives my disdain for it away, I thought?
