will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.

Fast fashion is part of overconsumption. The garments could last millennia of use, it doesn’t matter the quality, it’s still true. You don’t need to buy a new outfit every week. If you think you do, you’ve been propagandized.
Buy new clothes when your clothes are ratty and no more, few exceptions. Anyone who says otherwise is promoting consumerism.
They’re saying fast fashion is part of overconsumption but that SNL undermines this point by making it seem like cheap clothes immediately fall apart.
Yeah, they really missed the point if they thought I was promoting fast fashion
I guess I just fail to see how the claim that cheap fast fashion clothes fall apart undermines the point that fast fashion is overconsumption, regardless of the truth of the claim. For me, I would think that would actually reinforce the point, if it were true.
Oh, that makes sense. A common objection to buying secondhand is that the clothes you buy secondhand are old and close to end of life. This has gotten worse because many second hand shops price their clothes higher than they were originally sold for on Shein, for example, and people buying all this Shein means that even more of it is going to end up in second hand shops, rag houses, and finally in a landfill. So this perception that these clothes break down quickly pushes people away from buying clothes that are practically brand new and could last for years. Stretch fibers break down really quickly and natural fibers like cotton break down over a couple years of regular use, but a lot of this stuff is made with synthetic fibers that will last a long time.
