That would generally be the goal of pieces like this.
- zaptrem 3y agoI think the goal of this piece is closer to reducing the importation of seafood that is the result of forced labor.
- xanthor 3y agoThat doesn’t surprise me, but the purpose of New Yorker articles like this is primarily geopolitical in nature, not humanitarian. You can reference what they published in the lead up to the Iraq War as proof.
- vlovich123 3y agoGiven what’s outlined in the description above, forced labor doesn’t sound like it would meet the criteria as the chance for defection would be higher (+ glowing reviews from your boss). It sounds more like a description for a highly competitive jobs program.
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoCould your comment be any more indicative of how self-centered American tech workers are? Bad things happen in other parts of world, regardless of what anyone in America thinks about "RTO".
- scotty79 3y agoIt's an American newspaper paid for by American oligarchs to promote their goals. I don't think their goal is improving people's work conditions in far away poor countries.
- xanthor 3y agoI don’t really care about the conditions of tech workers since the lion’s share of the industry is just a speculative outlet for finance which produces no ‘technology’ whatsoever. But I’m also beyond believing that the goal of media outlets which shape people’s perceptions is to present objective reality out of the goodness of their hearts.
- corimaith 3y agoAssuming your own intentions are to see the truth of course, even if they may be uncomfortable for you. I find most people, especially the well-educated don't. They're much more interested in confirming their own biases. In that way the clueless "normie" does listens to MSM without any weight is sometimes more reliable to believe in.
- doctorpangloss 3y agoI’m not sure why you are being downvoted. I mean in an intellectually honest way, we are fairly powerless, like deglobalization will not solve this and violence by Americans cannot solve this. There’s a whole country of people who are literal close relatives of the victims of this atrocity, and they and their government have determined violence cannot solve this. You don’t need a degree in hottakeology to know this. It brings to mind Last Train Home, maybe the best piece of Chinese propaganda I’ve ever seen. Of course there’s no chance that the New Yorker writers are “allied” with some kind of repressive interest, but if the down voters think the authors are aligned with the US commoner, they’re nuts.
