One month ban for pointing out that consumerism bad. What a shithole of a site over there on the grad.

That's not what you were doing, they're right, cry about it
If you read wrongly into my comment that's on you. What I wrote is pretty clear.
screenshotting this for future laughs
Yes, what you wrote is clearly anti-china bullshit and you got banned for it. Take the L and move on.
Tell me, precisely, which words are anti-China.
This is utter nonsense and you should feel ashamed.
It just seems to me thay you interpreted the person you were responding to in the worst possible way and got banned for taking a discussion about cynical imperial greenwashing and making it "no they're both bad". I see how you interpreted it, too, and I'm sympathetic that you just take very seriously the consequences of current modes of production. But the person you responded too likely also takes that seriously and was having a completely different discussion about advanced production methods and how they are demonized cynically
Fair point, but the comment does still feel dismissive of environmental concerns re: Shein and the like. The reason I responded is it feels like an overcorrection. Yes the imperialists are trying to malign China, but to completely cast aside any criticism that imperialists make and then imply that even leftist making that criticism have been duped feels like an overcorrection. Like, on a personal level, I feel the same way about Shein as I do Amazon, but ofc I recognize two facts:
Fair, hostility rescinded
Likewise, comrade
Thank you for saying the things better and more civilly than I could
