    The fact is that those developing nations should have child labor laws in place, and proper enforcement of those laws to prevent children from being exploited. The blame belongs squarely on those who allow it.

      What a strange take. You’re saying that if I, as a business owner, am fully aware that my production chain relies on slave or child labor in another country, I bear no moral responsibility because “well that country should have stopped it”?

        I didn’t say any of that bullshit that you’re trying to imply that I said. Those are your words only.

        Comments like yours are a detriment to social media. Don’t try to put words in people’s mouths. That garbage is far too common and you just dumped yours here.

          That’s precisely what you said, it’s nobody’s responsibility but that country. I merely pointed out an obvious example where your statement is false. Work on your comprehension skills.

      Uh huh, I bet you definitely have bought something that is connected to child labor. Now, STFU, fool.

      For the record, if you’re in the U.S., there are plenty of children being exploited right here.

        No you can shut the fuck up. You are getting a block shortly after you read this. You know it costs nothing to be polite instead of throwing around insults to people you disagree with.

        Don’t be a piece of shit. It’s not that hard.

          How dare someone point out things I’m ignorant of and don’t understand as I make ridiculous claims about economic/foreign policy! Ohers have no right to criticize my unfounded, poorly-thought-out statements!!

          Seriously though, you’re totally not a fool. Imperialism and colonization are just buzzwords; they don’t actually mean anything, so you have nothing to worry about
