(looks around) Well, *I* don't have any slaves, I get paid for my work, and I avoid buying products made with sweatshop labour.
I want us to do better. You seem to have given up. Sucks to be you.
do you own a cell phone? (lithium/china toxic hazardous material no protection for workers/15 year life span alot empoly children to mine)
what about a flat screen or laptop? sub assemblies in child labor camps
do you take any medicine? (sulfur collection/ most deadly job on the planet guys make $10 a week no body over 40)
Do you own anything with steel in it? (reclaimation and mining china india unimaginable slave work)
have you ever eaten in a restaurant that you did not own? (cheap produce and beef from central south america)
Ever shopped aldi or trader joes? (same as above) these conditions also extend to america and other food super markets... look up agurculture labor exemptions.. no minimum wage no over time right here in the us. no age restriction on labor on some crops.
own any leather products? (most of the finest and cheapest come from india there is a video on that/youtube)
own a car? from assembly in mexico to subassemblies in china, not to mention tires... we could not afford to buy a car otherwise.
ever wash anything? palm oil is the base for many different soaps which is almost the worst offenders in modern slavery as they operate 1850 style plantations and still beat their slaves.
don't get me started if your a pot head... or heroin or coke..
Then I'm afraid I must tell you, you are indeed supporting slavery with your money.
How smug are you without first doing a google search, you could have been lke hey alexia or hey siri I need a list of everyday items produced by modern slaves.. and they would have been like boom: https://listverse.com/2014/12/16/10-ever...ave-labor/
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news...d-economy/
https://www.endslaverynow.org/blog/artic...ve-options
in a alexia voice (you are a bad person/look at all the things on this list you had me order!!)
But here's the thing... here is where it is not black or white/ Slavery is not always bad m'kay, slavery is not always bad...
Without these slave labor jobs... there would be no way for these slaves to live. in these countries where these production methods are allowed there is no state support or unemployment benefits.. if you do not work these slave jobs your family dies So 2/3 of the world works this way with no safty net and no other means of support. take away these slave jobs is taking away a person's only way to make a living in most cases.
so now what moral douche... which is the lessor of two evils? allowing slavery under regulation or... letting people starve?
or will you just close your eyes and pretend you don't know any of this and just keep to your little circle of friends and just keep repeating slavery is bad m'kay slavery is bad.. that way you can judge God and his followers or anyone else for that matter who understand how the world you live in works.
