hahaha you trendy turdz and your pascifiers… be plain
The irony of my vegan coworker running around with one clipped to their backpack for like months none the wiser
Forced Labubu
They should join a Labubu union.
Free those John Deere tractors!
Well, ALL of them are still fucking atrocious. ;)
A) Labubu’s are awful, and already so far out of fashion this is kinda a weird article to put out.
B) The ‘forced labor’ in the Xinjiang region of China is about equal to how every single license plate in the US is made, except prisoners are compensated better in China.
C) Just a reminder no international organization has said anything about Xinjiang other than ‘China’s response to US and Turkish terror groups were a bit harsh, and the racial profiling done in the 1990s that was stopped in 2006 was a bad thing. Also that one turkish family that was deported to indonesia should have been deported to turkey.’
D) Every single Uyghur organization in the US and Turkey has been linked to multiple attacks on civilians, is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (or was until Trump unwittingly cut their funding, marking a hilarious turning point in US propaganda production), and has been funneled weapons the same way Kurds have publicly been funneled weapons.
E) The US hates muslims. Literally hates the entire religion and all adherents. Believes they are monkeys that aren’t capable of thought like Zionists are. The US has hated China since the 1800s. The exclusive reason the US has immigration laws is because Chinese workers out worked American workers but sent all their earnings to their families back home. Until the Chinese exclusion act any person could come to the US and do whatever, as long as they could sustain themselves.
The US does not care about Chinese Muslims. At all. They are tools.
While I want to do away with prison/slave labor entirely, I didn’t know car license plates in the United States were trivial luxury goods. Why the false equivalency?
False equivalency is a reach.
Also, the Chinese terrorist groups are the reason Facebook is banned in China, as the US and Facebook refused to assist the Chinese government investigate groups related to the Urumqi riots, who were using the Facebook platform.
Absolute false equivalency. One is a luxury consumer product, one the government baked into their system and made a requirement so everyone has to have two to use a vehicle, which you need if you wanted to exist in society. I think y’all have it backwards which is worse. I don’t have to buy a labubu
Y’all gotta remember I’m in California the slave fire fight state. That is like, worse than all of that. Buncha bullshit.
How is it a false equivalency? The Workers produce, among many other things, cotton, which is not a luxury good. There is no claim that they made labubus, but that some of the cotton involved came from some of the work camps in Xinjiang.
China’s “forced labor camps” are part of the prison reform initiative. Nearly every East Asian country has a version of this, wherein workers learn a trade and produce goods; the sale of which to the general market subsidizes their wages which they build up during their sentence which allows them to have savings when they exit back to society, with state-guaranteed experience in a specific job. Farming is popular because, you know, it’s China. Making those that go against society do the most basic and necessary work in society to understand what they are harming has been their modus operandi since the revolution.
Your problem with ‘trivial luxury goods’ being made by prisoners though just means you have more of a problem with the US than with China; as in the US ‘prisoners’ are leased to private corporations like Walmart, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Starbucks, Sprint, Verizon, Avis, AT&T, and Aramark.
China uses ‘forced labor’ to ‘produce cheap materials’ that need to be used in some way since they’re the by product of teaching prisoners a trade. The US has never even thought about abolishing slavery and every fortune 100 corporation in the US uses slavery to produce final products that you directly buy and consume.
