    Yeah let’s focus on Chinese prison labour, ignoring the US’s much higher incarceration rate, and the literal genocide they’re funding right now.

      Since that’s what we’re talking about right now, yes, let’s.

      I can boycott regatta and American prison made licence plates at the same time. I have many other talents besides.

        Can you do anything about the genocide on natives that your tax dollars are funding right now?

            The US sends $3.3bil to Israel every year, and has sent a bonus $14.5bil 2 months ago.

              Not what we’re talking about, but you should be writing to your reps about this. Most people just feel bad and move on. Actually writing a letter will get attention

                  Me either, but my government is an ally to the US and also contributes their own aid to Israel, so it applies to me. Assuming you’re in a democracy, it’s very likely you have some stake (even small) in the genocide.

                  Even boycotting goods produced on occupied land is a small step anyone can take.

      Two things can be bad and you can discuss both of them. Let’s not lose our sights on something because something else is worse.

      Are US prisoners risking their lives to tell the world what’s happening to them?
