I promise I will block this sub from my recommendations and stop posting about them. I just need a little bit more self-esteem.

For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/El Chisme

The left's anti-sweatshop discourse had two main points:
The first is that commodity dumping was putting people out of work in domestic industries and driving them into cities and sweatshops. Modern day trade deal driven inclosure.
The second is that sweatshops need to be organized and have all the protections of production in the first world both so that those workers are protected and so they stop undercutting American workers.
Responding to these points by saying "well at least sweatshops give people jobs" is not responding insightfully with a hard truth, it is responding with a threat.
thats a nice 10c an hour job you've got there, it'd be a shame if it went away...
