will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.
death to AmeriKKKa
To claim that fast fashion is harmful to workers and then perpetuate the myth that those workers are unskilled is ridiculous. China is home to some of the most skilled clothing artisans in the world and it’s indeed very possible to buy affordable clothes from there where the workers having a higher purchasing power parity than the median American.
To claim that fast fashion is part of overconsumption and then perpetuate the myth that all cheap clothes fall apart after a single use is ridiculous. The rag houses are fucking overflowing and most second hand shops are inundated with clothes they will never sell. These clothes are lasting long enough to reach the landfills and then some.
Meanwhile, LA is notorious for its clothing sweat shops full of human trafficking victims. I’m not saying exploitative labor doesn’t exist in China. But this shit is such a racist double standard.
Anyone who is able should be buying most of their clothes second hand, anyway.
The garment district is…something else.
