[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (3 children) Yeah those countries just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start being productive members of the world. I know we could help them out so they don't have to go through all the hard times alone and without the knowledge we have, but fuck em hahahahahaha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) But we are sharing knowledge and sending both aid and capital there. A lot of the countries are industrialized to the degree they are with the capital. Nobody acts in a vacuum these days. We could be doing more for sure but we're not doing nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago That literally has nothing to do with what I was making fun of that guy for. He was arguing we shouldn't help at all. I was being sarcastic with him. I agree with what you've said permalink fedilink source parent [–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago It's a very complex issue, Western countries do a lot of things to help out less developed nations but we also do selfish things that makes life harder for them - unfortunately this is the reality of humanity, I am fighting my own personal ideological war against capitalism and the greed based system by which we live so I'm not defending it but it also has to be stated that other systems can have these flaws too. We need a cultural shift to fix these problems, an economic one isn't enough on its own permalink fedilink source parent [–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (2 children) The fact is that those developing nations should have child labor laws in place, and proper enforcement of those laws to prevent children from being exploited. The blame belongs squarely on those who allow it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) What a strange take. You’re saying that if I, as a business owner, am fully aware that my production chain relies on slave or child labor in another country, I bear no moral responsibility because “well that country should have stopped it”? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I didn't say any of that bullshit that you're trying to imply that I said. Those are your words only. Comments like yours are a detriment to social media. Don't try to put words in people's mouths. That garbage is far too common and you just dumped yours here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago That’s precisely what you said, it’s nobody’s responsibility but that country. I merely pointed out an obvious example where your statement is false. Work on your comprehension skills. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MedicPigBabySaver@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Uh huh, I bet you definitely have bought something that is connected to child labor. Now, STFU, fool. For the record, if you're in the U.S., there are plenty of children being exploited right here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 child) No you can shut the fuck up. You are getting a block shortly after you read this. You know it costs nothing to be polite instead of throwing around insults to people you disagree with. Don't be a piece of shit. It's not that hard. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) How dare someone point out things I'm ignorant of and don't understand as I make ridiculous claims about economic/foreign policy! Ohers have no right to criticize my unfounded, poorly-thought-out statements!! Seriously though, you're totally not a fool. Imperialism and colonization are just buzzwords; they don't actually mean anything, so you have nothing to worry about permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Funny how nobody wants to address the actual facts that I stated, that the burden of enforcing child labor laws is on the country that it happens in. It doesn't fucking matter at all though, because nobody reading any of this can do any goddamn thing about it, and it will continue regardless. Enjoy your dose of realism for today. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago Colonization isn't real permalink fedilink source parent
