        Dismissable? 😂

        It’s peak r/im14andthisisdeep moral porn. Zero nuance, all Weltverbesserer vibes and “look how enlightened because capitalism bad”.

        No argument, just visual shorthand and emotional blackmail.

        Feels profound for abt five seconds.

          I went to look at your posts to see all the great content that you’ve provided to the community.

          It looks like your high horse is pretty short.

      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.”

        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.

        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?

          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?

            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.

            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.

      Hey man, if you don’t want to critically think about your consumption (or the massive imbalance of consumption between the Global North and the Global South) then I guess good for you. But to think that this comic being posted is somehow a direct attack by Russia and the PRC is certainly… a take.

        It’s unnecessary, also how the fk is this your first time having this thought, this is woke and complex for schoolchildren not adults who are and have been aware of this. This isn’t revealing of anything.

    Not saying it’s AI, but anyone feel like the dad has Yaoi hands going on?

    For the uninformed it basically means huge, disproportionate hands. I saw his and was like damn, why does he have claw fingers bro?

    Edit: Damn I literally meant that the picture doesn’t have any issues making me think it’s fake, I was joking about the hands. Chill with the downvotes 😭

      The child in the top image also appears to have an extra finger underneath two of his other fingers
