…and also somehow directly causes third world countries to be drowned in plastic trash

the working conditions get more humane if Amazon gets their percentage instead of buying straight from the factory. somehow.
Amazon adheres to a rules based international order.
me: i ordered a mecha model on aliexpress
lib: thats, in my opinion, kind of cruel. but i do respect YOUR opinion.
me: i will order another
A cruel angel’s thesis.
I’ve boycotted Amazon because it contributes to inhumane working conditions in the US.
Didn’t you hear? There is no ethical consumption under

When you’re American, though, they let you do it. You can do anything
Those people are hopeless tbh
There’s a reason why Temu is getting so popular and it’s people who can’t afford to be act all high and mighty realize it’s all the same shit
What is temu
ooh ooh temu ooh ooh temu
Ali express type thing.
Their ads are really fucking cringy though.
China has more stringent laws against child labor than the USA. In China it is suspected that 10 million children are in the workforce. In the USA it is suspected that 6 million children are in the workforce. China has over 4 times the population of the USA and over the last decade has been restricting the use of child labor more and more. In the USA, regulations against child labor are being relaxed.
China has more stringent laws against prison labor than the USA. In China, there are about 1.6 to 1.7 million prisoners at any given time. In the USA, there are 1.3 million. Yet in the United states upwards of 1 million prisoners must engage in prison labor and an uncounted amount that are not prisoners but as part of non-prison sentencing must “volunteer” at places like chicken packing plants. In China we cannot know exactly how many people do prison labor, because western propaganda says their prison labor numbers are 2 million to 16 million prisoners despite the fact that we know only 1.7 million people are prisoners. American prison labor is used in goods from Walmart to Target.
If you buy “Made in the USA” goods you are support a regime that exploits children and slavery. If you shop at Target or Walmart or many other chain outlets you support these things. I’m not even being facetious.

Have you considered that every Chinese person is a prisoner in their own country, and therefore a prison laborer?
good post. every accusations confession, example #10000000002
Death to America
don’t you want to support the inhumane working conditions at home???Yes, only through that one store is exploitation caused in the global south and trash produced. Everything else is union made and 100% recyclable.
I was just at a complete loss for words
China invented trash in 2017, before that every single 3rd world city was completely spotless.
I worked at an Amazon warehouse. Please direct me to this friend so I can kick their ass.
I’ve stopped buying from amazon because every search shows the same cheap shitty product from “brands” like QERIOUPPOIEWF
And depending on what you’re buying it can be dangerous
There’s a bike cleaning product company on there called Ultrafashs that has me suspicious
Amazon and eBay are both ruined by endless dropshippers.
The reason those brands have crazy names is that they’re rebranding stuff they bought from the actual manufacturer. Amazon will let any seller list identical products on the same listing, unless your brand name is trademarked. So to prevent another seller from using their (paid) product reviews, listing images, SEO, and advertising spend they make a new trademark. Because it takes a long time and a lot of legal work to find out if your trademark is unique for your product category, they make it something crazy that’s never been used for anything so there’s no chance they later lose their exclusive product listing.
does he not know what dropshipping is? that’s 100% sourced from aliexpress or alibaba, with a markup.
Those websites even have dedicated pages explaining what dropshipping is and how to get started using their storefronts lol
Your friend is right. The world needs to know about Chinese “dark factories” where workers are forced to assemble products 24 hrs a day without breaks.
Spoilers: “dark” because they’re so automated you could run them with the lights off.
they’re so automated you could run them with the lights off.
pictured: the exploited Chinese worker
China playing Factorio while US just keeps replaying Hearts of Iron.
You see, the joke here is in HOI4 you literally sell your factories for trade goods.
In Factorio you also have to defend yourself against a horde of NPCs who are very mad at you for building a factory.
Well you crash land on a planet and use up their resources to build factories only to fuck off back home
Still better than a settler colonists because you eventually leave.
China is genociding employment opportunities for the youths, crippling their entrepreneurial spirit 😔
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Europe buying Indian oil because it’s not tainted by Putler, but in reality they’re buying Russian oil from India with a huge marked up price
They aren’t cheap anymore with middlemen. In Poland both physical and internet shops are full of things sold up from Aliexpress with markup of sometimes hundreds %, and looking at the delivery times at the internet shops they aren’t even pretending they aren’t just doing crude speculation.
oh snap. thanks for reminding me.
