Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Oh look a proxy for banning Chinese products based on lies.
You know they're not going to ban basically every processed seafood item from Thailand or every smartphone and computer. Just Xinjiang cotton as part of their toeing the American line using fairy tales.
So forces labor is a good thing, that's what you are impliying?
No, they were talking about processed product bans which you can find on our wiki
damnit
GOOD source
Somehow I doubt they'll ban commodity imports from the Global South. Imagine what would happen to european chocolate without French Imperial cocoa.
On the off-chance that you are just struggling with reading comprehension, I'd be happy to help you understand what they mean.
We here at hexagonal leather daddies dot net do not believe western governments when they claim to care about issues like this and instead assume that they will use these regulations disingenuously as a cudgel against their geopolitical rivals without substantiating their accusations, while ignoring actual proven incidences of whatever they're pretending to care about today in allied countries or by western companies.
No?
Is this a question or an answer?
It's an answer and it suggests it's a silly question.
Or you're not sure of the answer.
Do you generally struggle with reading comprehension? Because nowhere did he say that he forced labour was good, he just said that the EU is not going to do anything useful with this ban (like for instance, making sure that H&M and Puma don't use forced labour in the making of their products, since those are European companies) but instead willn just cause Europe to double down on the idiotic "Xinjiang is litterally a concentrationcamp" like a lot of Euro-leaders have been claiming baselessly for years at this point.
Well he didn't gave a clear answer either. I do think getting a straight answer for some basic human right question shouldn't be this hard. But I guess it is.
It’s obviously true, if the ban were to be applied equally, which it will not be, because fucking everything relies on forced labor and you won’t “cut that out” of the supply chain without demolishing the world economic system. So your choices now are either 1) believe those silly hexbears love forced labor and slavery or 2) understand that maybe this ban is a political tool rather than a moral one
Forced labor is bad. But something tells me the EU isn’t going to ban force labor. Call it a hunch
Banning South Korean salt harvested by slaves
Banning Chinese products because big scary Xi China bad
So they're going to ban things made in American prisons then right?
They'd have to throw away a bunch of American military shit because quite a bit of the military's shit made by prisoners
EU cucks tanking their own economy and blaming China/Russia for it
I doubt they're banning anything from Africa which the Euroids consistently encourage forced labour through their corpos and the regimes they support through neo-colonialism.
forced labor
coerced labor
Lol Europeans shooting themselves as usual for their pimp US.
So basically everything?
Everything is so cynical these days.
So total isolation, right? Or are they only counting forces not applied by their Daddy and themselves?
