lol, I think this rational is so funny. People in modern day America believe they would have never been okay with slavery if they lived in the early 1800s, but they go ahead and buy products made from slave labor in 2026.

I do, but I’m not the one advocating for more things to be made with slave labor

If you arent willing to disregard their products totally because of slave labor, why does 1 more product matter at all?

There’s not much I can do to completely avoid using products made from slave labor, but I do not advocate for adding more products that will increase the number of people being exploited for their labor. Isn’t this the same argument the left uses for guns? Even if it saves one life?

It is a weird line to draw in the sand, and if you still use the products, a silly one. I dont recall an abolitionist that owned slaves while advocating freedom.

It’s weird you’re defending modern day slavery and advocating for more of it….

It’s weird you’re claiming China uses slave labor for their cars.

There’s plenty of real stuff that’s horrible that they do, no need to lie.
