- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

This is about 14 deep.
idk dude, Im old but cruelty still hits pretty hard
It's just some feel bad moral porn and feels profound for 5 milliseconds
At what levels of irony poisoning are you operating to view any reminder of the injustice as "porn" lmao
It's so cute when people like you show their verbal clumsiness within one single sentence.
Go celebrate now, it's Christmas :) I bet they're waiting for you.
Moral porn? I hope you made that phrase up, because it shouldn’t exist.
That's one way to demonstrate your lack of vocabulary 😂🥰 Merry Christmas bro, I hope you get a book.
"Sanctimonious" is the word you were looking for.
Just .ml things.
There's a grain of truth in here somewhere, but it's really hard to find.
Of course their message is just "West bad, Christmas bad."
Will they ever look at why and how China itself would allow these conditions to arise as a complicated nuanced view of global trade?
Nah, West bad
Or realistic suggestions to fix actual problems?
No, they just want to throw blame onto parents who buy their kids gifts for Christmas. Because clearly that is the evil.
The actual evil in this image is wearing shoes in the house. Funny that that's likely also part of the propaganda against the West.
(Started as tongue in cheek and ended less so.)
The funny thing is that they think this is some grade A anti-capitalist porn, when all it really does is show how the countries that allow sweatshops are morally bankrupt.
And where are those sweatshops usually located?
It's the truth. You think rampant consumerism isn't creating consequences? Do you think personal purchases shouldn't be held to moral standards?
Oh, do you not buy anything made in China?
I do my absolute best I can to source anything I buy from countries that I know uphold labor standards. Beyond that, I also attempt to buy sustainably and especially from worker coops and union made goods.
So no, I don't buy nothing from china(and other countries without strong labor laws). But I do buy very, very little from there, and only when there are no other options. Considering the only material goods I buy are bikes, Clothes, and food, it's not the hardest.
Reddit is leaking...
How do you think you got here:)?
