Reply to comment by NotARageComic in World Cup in station north by Brief_Exit1798

Nice false equivalency. There's a difference between discretionary vs non discretionary consumption.

Watching the world cup is 100% discretionary

Are you assuming everything made in China is made with slave labor, that's incredibly racist and ethnocentric

Also, I'm posting this from a computer made in Oregon.

I never said they were. It's just hysterical how fucking lame you are. Go do something enjoyable with your day like solve slave labor.

You're the one that brought up your computer made in Oregon that sounds like it's not made in Oregon.

Do you own a car? That's discretionary and it definitely has products inside of it manufactured by factories benefiting from forced labor in China. This isn't a whataboutism as much as it is a comment on your stupid statement.

There is almost no device on the market that doesn't have some parts made in Asia.

I'm just correcting that the device is made in Oregon not China. Which by definition it is not.

I run a falcon northwest drx, go ahead and tell me all the parts that are made with slavor labor in China. Please educate me.

Also the belief that owning a car is discretionary is such an urban elitist pov. Many people rely on a car for their living.

Also, i ride a bike...it probably has parts made in China (to my knowledge no parts made with slave labour) either way, I need it to get around...y'all don't need the world cup.

I don’t think anything made in china uses space labor.

Why would I argue with someone whose first thought when others have fun is to tell them they’re bad people for supporting slave labor? This is Reddit, I don’t need to argue with you lol

It's not my first thought when someone has fun. It's my first thought when I see the world cup.

The problem is many other people see world cup and their first thoughts ARENT slave labor and horrible human rights violations...it's FUN!

>This is Reddit, I don’t need to argue with you lol

But here you are just doing that. You can just stop replying if that's ACTUALLY how you feel
