This feels like a justification for slavery and slave-like conditions. I assure you the conditions and salary in most manufacturing countries would cause riots in the US; but as long as it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind, who cares what happens to their children.
Imagine if I used this argument for 1850s plantations (the conditions in many factories not being much better). “Do you really want your children working on the plantations? Is this what you dream of for your children?”
The answer is, of course not; but that sure as hell doesn’t justify enslaving other people (whether literally in chattel; or implicitly with meager wages, long working hours, no other opportunities, and no time to learn alternative skills).
- KerrAvon 2y agoTwo things can be true: - you shouldn't want that for your children - you shouldn't want that for their children In a geopolitical context, those are separate discussions. It's not really fair to accuse someone of promoting slavery when they did no such thing.
