i made the mistake of looking up Temu on tumblr
#selling shitty stolen designs for dirt cheap is how amazon got its foothold#and yes amazon is evil and getting worse#therefore it's a good thing it has competition now#and somehow the global slave-wage labour trade is still going strong despite strong condemnation of it#it's one of the only ways some poorer countries get to have a GDP in our current global economic order#richer countries exploit their natural resources#and one such natural resource is cheap human labour#how do we fix that man#idk#but can we stop yelling at temu or the communists or fast fashion#the problem is literally how our entire world works#It's globalization... remember globalization?#Of course the kids don't remember globalization#I'm no expert either but I have fuzzy memory when US politicians (Bush? Clinton?) were trying to convince us#that expanding the global supply chain is good actually#idk about anyone else but i am ready to give up access to avocados in the great canadian winter and go back to a diet of chicken and potato#because access to avocados in the middle of the canadian winter is what the global supply chain gaves us#and cat paw socks for your chair and cute pastel dinosaur onesies and fancy alpaca wool and electric car engines and 5G wifi#we have more access to goods than the kings of yore and yes it is unfair on a gargantuan scale#but unless all of us are willing to give up all of it and I mean ALL of it#it ain't gonna change#and it sure as hell isn't temu's fault#i love naemyeong though i can't bear to have naemyeong taken away from me
