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
Cool. Every single bozo has been demanding everyone under the age of 40 do the right thingTM and work shitty manufacturing/farmworking jobs for damn near free. Oh, and if you have even the slightest bit of neurodiversity, the same society that has mocked and belittled you your entire life looks at you to be the guy that works these slave labor jobs all out of the kindness of your heart.
And I’m not even talking about people who are directly coerced like prisoners who are a legalized form of slavery in the modern day.
