will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.
death to AmeriKKKa
Why do Americans keep talking about Uyghurs as if they’re not proudly and openly supporting Israeli genocide against Palestinians lol
Yeah the timing on this is super sus. The Uyghur allegations are stale news at this point, trying to run interference for the genocide being signed off on by the western “rules-based international order.”
Making this now is the most tonedeaf thing these spineless libs could do
To claim that fast fashion is harmful to workers and then perpetuate the myth that those workers are unskilled is ridiculous. China is home to some of the most skilled clothing artisans in the world and it’s indeed very possible to buy affordable clothes from there where the workers having a higher purchasing power parity than the median American.
To claim that fast fashion is part of overconsumption and then perpetuate the myth that all cheap clothes fall apart after a single use is ridiculous. The rag houses are fucking overflowing and most second hand shops are inundated with clothes they will never sell. These clothes are lasting long enough to reach the landfills and then some.
Meanwhile, LA is notorious for its clothing sweat shops full of human trafficking victims. I’m not saying exploitative labor doesn’t exist in China. But this shit is such a racist double standard.
Anyone who is able should be buying most of their clothes second hand, anyway.

Fast fashion is part of overconsumption. The garments could last millennia of use, it doesn’t matter the quality, it’s still true. You don’t need to buy a new outfit every week. If you think you do, you’ve been propagandized.
Buy new clothes when your clothes are ratty and no more, few exceptions. Anyone who says otherwise is promoting consumerism.
They’re saying fast fashion is part of overconsumption but that SNL undermines this point by making it seem like cheap clothes immediately fall apart.
Yeah, they really missed the point if they thought I was promoting fast fashion
Do they realise how lost a battle this is?
