Sure an American said “we want 12h shifts 6 days a week with absolutely minimal breaks” (or whatever the specifics are) (and that’s a a terrible request.)
But the kicker is a Chinese labor official said “yup, sure thing”
So are you saying that in the glorious Chinese workers paradise they don’t set and enforce decent health and safety policies and regulate working conditions and wages for the benefit of their citizens? Paint me amazed!
I had responded to a tankie who claimed that China wasn’t an oligarchy by sarcastically asking if they thought the workers control the government, and like 5 different (or are they?) hexbears descended on me to tell me that yes, akshually, they do (and therefore must be the most self loathing workers on the planet, if those are the conditions they inflict on themselves, and curiously keep “electing” the same authoritarian, billionaire, dictator to be at the top of their classless, moneyless, stateless society). 🤦♀️
E: on a side note since I’ve got you here and you’re an admin, I thought this instance was defederated from hex, and I have them on my personal blocked instance list, should I still be seeing their users?
You can still come across their users if they post in a community external to Hexbear, even if you have instance blocked them. Our instance actually isn’t defederated from Hexbear fyi. They mostly leave us in peace nowadays though, so unless you go looking for a fight on their instance, you’re unlikely to run into problems with them.
I remembered seeing some drama between the two instances from before I moved over to db0, so I just assumed off the back of that, but good to know, thanks! Definitely don’t go looking for them, I have better things to do with my time and little remaining sanity lol
I don’t get how suicide nets is a knock on china. They’re making our phones.
It’s our consumer demand and our company’s price points that are responsible for the conditions in the factories that make our phones.
It’s their citizens / labor laws.

The scary thing is they genuinely believe this.

Aww, why the downvote @[email protected]? That was one of my more diplomatic posts too lol.
To be fair, didn’t mean to downvote that one.

because the Chinese public isn’t supposed to know about it… plus people might demand more ethically produced phones if they were more aware.
