      we just moved child labour to less developed countries. we didn’t get rid of anything. you just don’t see it, but child labour is still going strong in the world. child slavery as well.

        No WE did not. The people in those countries where it still happens allowed it to still happen.

        None of us have any decisionmaking power to control what those countries do, so the burden to fix those problems is on those countries who allow it.

        • Yeah those countries just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start being productive members of the world.

          I know we could help them out so they don’t have to go through all the hard times alone and without the knowledge we have, but fuck em hahahahahaha

            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.
