it's one of those things that I think appears accusatory but imo it's a matter-of-fact observation. You aren't born in the core with the opinion: 'I approve of my raised stature thanks to exploitation of the global south'. It's tough to describe, yes all proles in the core are 'implicated' but I give those kinds of statements a charitable reading maybe. In another way, I think it's meant to enlighten rather than guilt

The central point norfield is making cannot be emphasized enough, because so many liberals and socialists in imperialist countries try very hard to put it out of their minds. h&M makes handsome profits, to be sure, but these are dwarfed by the state’s take, once taxes on wages and profits of h&M and suppliers of services to it are added to its VaT 14 iMPerialiSM in The T wenT y-FirST CenTury receipts. in 2013, the tariffs charged by the u.S. government on its apparel imports from Bangladesh alone exceeded the total wages received by the workers who made these goods. The state uses this money, as we know, to finance foreign wars, health care, and Social Security, and even returns a few pennies to the poor countries in the form of “foreign aid.” as Tony norfield argues, low wages in Bangladesh help explain “why the richer countries can have lots of shop assistants, delivery drivers, managers and administrators, accountants, advertising executives, a wide range of welfare payments and much else besides.”12 his blunt conclusion: “wage rates in Bangladesh are particularly low, but even the multiples of these seen in other poor countries point to the same conclusion: oppression of workers in the poorer countries is a direct economic benefit for the mass of people in the richer countries.”

Where in my comment did I give anyone an out? I simply added to the conversation by stating a difficulty of organizing.
