no

Buisness is Buisness. Call it exploitation all you want but without these jobs these people would starve. Im giving them employment

>>6240799
Is that Tripskank?

i pretend to to get girls irl and to claim moral superiority when arguing on 4chan.

i don't care about the lifes of the women in the factory but i do care about their skill level
i'm not going to buy clothes from portugal for example

its the country fault for being shitty and exploitable

at least we are giving them an opportunity to even exist on this earth.

scum

>>6240868
So what if you were born there instead

>>6240799
Yes. The more I learn, the more I think of these things when I make purchases.

i do a lot but it's really hard to find ethically made garments that arent ugly or impossibly expensive

i don't know what to do

>>6240922
Fast fashion is making that gap wider.

>>6240922
Look for mid teir brands like everlane, frankland and oak, all saints. ect.

It exists you just have to look harder.

>>6240899
It still creates jobs and benefits where they might not otherwise exist.

Besides, most "Made in" tags don't tell you much.Many "American" products have fabrics that were processed in India, cut into patterns China and machine-sewn by illegal immigrants in a California warehouse. Some companies aim to start out "ethical," everyone wants a higher profit margin. For example, I buy from a tshirt line run by two women. When they just started out, they would hand-process and dye fabrics, cut patterns themselves and silkscreen in a room in one of their houses. The popularity of the line means that kind of business model is no longer feasible. Through outsourcing steps of production, they can reach a wider audience, put out more collections per year, and develop their brand identity better. Most pieces still cost what they did in the early stages. They simply didn't make much at first

No. The people who work in those factories are not slaves. They have a choice to either work or to leave and find a better job just like everybody else. If they were chained to a sewing machine and forced to work I might feel differently.

I usually thrift my clothes, so I take comfort in the fact the people who made my clothes, probably died a couple of decades ago.

There's a book I read a while ago, it's called Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh (watch it on yt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvlqR2908TE).).
It's about globalisation that happened to Ladakh. People there were self-sufficient and content with their lives and then westerners came. They spent in a day as much as Ladakhis earned in a year. Naturally they thought adopting our lifestyle would be rad, we have all the money and we can travel the world. But they didnt see the daily stress, how busy we usually are, how little time we have for each other. They used to be chilling, all generations working in the fields, but now they are living with all the western downsides.
With globalisation also came polution and ill managed agricultural system.

What I'm trying to argue is that we are kinda forcing them into doing these shitty jobs, they don't really have a choice. Like a town build around a mine, obv every male has a dream of having lots of money and the only way to be able to achieve this dream is to do this shitty job now and hope the days get better

I can't believe anybody could be this dumb

>>6241130
>implying they are not chained

>implying they weren't self sufficient before factories thanks to agriculture
we fucked them up

do i care? nope.

my race is dying out, the west is falling. im just going to enjoy my final days in good looking clothes made by ugly brown people in ummagumma land while i try and get good looking white girls.

fuck it.

Monsato destroyed their old lifestyle.
>tfw only wear raf Owens and Rick Simons who personally construct every piece of clothing in the collections

Capitalism is terrible, but I don't want to DIY everything.

>>6241280
there's a middle way too

>>6241461
Is there a middle way that is poorfag friendly?

>>6241463
well, there probs isnt anything as cheap as h&m but other than that, there is I think.

That's why kids, you buy all your clothes from Sruli Recht :D

nope -- zero interest

>>6241487
Well, I am stuck with h&m tier clothes (at least prize-wise)
As soon as I get my hands on a sewing machine and some fabric then I'm gonna DIY some shit.

>>6241510
you can buy on ebay or thrift shops. there could be something for cheap locally made too.

>>6241628
I dwell deeply in the woods of Sweden, so the only things the thrift shops and local stores sell are XL mens clothing and old lady clothes.
