Anyone who can be bothered to say that people working in sweatshops would like to be doin so or enjoy it, has never worked a fucking day in their entire life. that is all

You're totally right. We should dismantle any and all sweatshops and send those poor third-worlders back to working in rice paddies, knee-high in mosquito infested water, and they'll likely die malaria, melanoma, or exhaustion.

Anyway you slice it, working in a factory sewing a thousand seams on a thousand dresses a day, for comparatively great pay, is far better than subsistence farming for virtually 0 profit.


Ignoring the fact that farming isn't even an option.  It's sweatshop or starve to death.


That's cool though.  We set people up with a predetermined choice between death and hell, and then say, "omg, look, hell is sooo much better than dying!! We're doing them a favor!!!"
