Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Haha so that’s why there’s so much anti-Temu/Shein propaganda in the US. It seems to have worked too.
Can you give some examples of said propaganda?
There’s videos on how evil Temu and Shein are with working conditions that I’ve seen on Yotube but never watched. I think it’s also a thing on TikTok. Every comment section is filled with people shaming any influence that promoters one of the two as a sponsor.
Americans also say “Temu-___” of something to imply low quality, bootleg products in their slang.
It is though. Temu and Shein are dogshit compared to Aliexpress. Not everything from china is good lol, at least the international versions.
I mean they aren't "good" companies, nor quality products.
I've seen some of those sorts of videos. The work was...regular factory work. Not exactly sweatshop conditions, just workers putting clothes on coathangers for an entire shift. Dull and mindnumbing, but most of them seemed to have headphones in or were watching videos on their phone.
I think a lot of this stuff is due to westerners being so used to their "service economy" ideas, they can't even imagine what actual work looks like.
If you can stomach it the SNL Shein skit
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
