The funny thing is that they think this is some grade A anti-capitalist porn, when all it really does is show how the countries that allow sweatshops are morally bankrupt.
I do my absolute best I can to source anything I buy from countries that I know uphold labor standards. Beyond that, I also attempt to buy sustainably and especially from worker coops and union made goods.
So no, I don’t buy nothing from china(and other countries without strong labor laws). But I do buy very, very little from there, and only when there are no other options. Considering the only material goods I buy are bikes, Clothes, and food, it’s not the hardest.
Just .ml things.
There’s a grain of truth in here somewhere, but it’s really hard to find.
Of course their message is just “West bad, Christmas bad.”

And where are those sweatshops usually located?
Will they ever look at why and how China itself would allow these conditions to arise as a complicated nuanced view of global trade?
Nah, West bad
Or realistic suggestions to fix actual problems?
No, they just want to throw blame onto parents who buy their kids gifts for Christmas. Because clearly that is the evil.
The actual evil in this image is wearing shoes in the house. Funny that that’s likely also part of the propaganda against the West.
(Started as tongue in cheek and ended less so.)
It’s the truth. You think rampant consumerism isn’t creating consequences? Do you think personal purchases shouldn’t be held to moral standards?
Oh, do you not buy anything made in China?
Stupid people LOVE strawmen.

“Is this a .ml thing?”
And yet…
And yet what? Finish the sentence, if it’s so obvious that it is implied?
And yet… “.ml users are here agreeing with it”?
Well, sure, but apparently so are non-.ml-users.
So what’s your point?
Nevermind: I don’t care to talk to stupid people.
Pretty sure that reflects more on you than any comment you’re trying to make.
Good luck on rooting out the secret Reds lurking behind every corner, trying to corrupt an impurify your precious bodily fluids.
