From what I've seen this seems to be the main talking point American chuds have landed on to defend the tariffs and to dunk on other Americans who are upset about no longer being able to buy shit on Temu, etc

It's pretty rich to accuse other countries of using slave labour for Burgerlanders in general but doubly rich for Republicans to pretend to give a shit about labour laws, working conditions, etc

It's also interesting how widespread the idea of Chinese slave labour is in the West and to contrast it with how Japan and Korea's awful work cultures get treated

China = the totalitarian communist government forces the entire country into slavery

Japan and Korea = those Asians just love working really hard or something

I know for a fact that southern states use incarcerated people to keep their recycling station working. Covid nearly shutdown recycling plants for good because the plants had no budget for real labor, only $25 per day per inmate, which is slave wages. amerikkka

And now, southern fast food chains are "hiring" incarcerated people to serve fries!

If you live in the US, most likely your car’s license plate was made by a slave.
