From what I’ve seen this seems to be the main talking point American chuds have landed on to defend the tariffs and to dunk on other Americans who are upset about no longer being able to buy shit on Temu, etc

It’s pretty rich to accuse other countries of using slave labour for Burgerlanders in general but doubly rich for Republicans to pretend to give a shit about labour laws, working conditions, etc

It’s also interesting how widespread the idea of Chinese slave labour is in the West and to contrast it with how Japan and Korea’s awful work cultures get treated

China = the totalitarian communist government forces the entire country into slavery

Japan and Korea = those Asians just love working really hard or something

    Same thing with the most anti-muslim person I know waxing poetic about the uyghurs.

    Like if china was actually genociding Muslims westerners would become fans of China.

      They’re all like this, I swear to fucking God. It’s like their thought process is: “Killing Muslims is great, but this made up thing from [designated by media as BAD country]? That’s the most evil thing ever!”

        Same thing they do with LGBT people. They will screech to genocide them all, just for the fun of it….then call for the genocide of non-white people and then tell LGBT people that they should join their oppressor in genociding them because they’re anti-LGBT.

        What are you, my older brother?
