Quote from: Ingwar on Feb 13, 2023, 03:15:26 PMif you buy clothes made in China, Pakistan, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka as so on, you supposedly support modern slavery?
Unironically, yes, you are literally financially supporting it and incentivizing it to continue by making those purchases. Trying to say "yeah but I don't
like slavery" is somewhat immaterial to the discussion if you pay money to people who use slave labour anyway. You either admit you're prepared to ignore the issue for the convenience of fast fashion, which is an understandable position to take in this economy, by the way, or you live in denial.
Likewise, Rowling spreads rhetoric and funds and supports groups who are having a materially detrimental effect on the lives of a minority group who already have it pretty rough a lot of the time, and by making a purchase that sends her royalties, you are on some level supporting that.
What I find funny is that people who like harry potter are all too lame to know how to pirate which would totally sidestep the issue while letting them still play their slop.
