    Not gonna watch that but if the “joke” is that the “Uyghur genocide” is enabled by fast fashion… the actual reality is that fast fashion is 110% pure capitalism that depends on workers in places like Bangladesh living in conditions similar to what Engels described in The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844.

      We don’t even have to see outside of the US. The DoD uses prison labor to make uniforms which are made at a surplus to sell to the public. You’d be surprised by the stuff the prison system makes in your life.

        Literally the US Constitution

        Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States

          Ok but just because we constitutionally allow slavery doesn’t mean we’re Chinese which makes anything we do 100% times worse.

            Firing a giant ray that turns people Chinese at the US ruling circles so that they will be trapped in the compulsion to ask “but at what cost?” about their own actions think-about-it
