Basically I had this shower thought while cooking some ultra-edgelord material when I decided to think about sweatshops. So how are they racist?
White people (especially petty booj) got fucked over by capitalism so they look for alternatives and/or coping mechanisms. Consooming is one such example. Where the race card comes in is when you realize that the west deliberately keeps these countries poor where possible to protect their bottom ine, sweatshops are one such tool because they are being used to distract their domestic masses THEY THEMSELVES fucked over as opposed to being used to improve their own countries of origin. As a result the target countries are kept poor while the domestic masses in the imperial core and their puppets are pacified to prevent revolution. Terrifyingly genius I must say.
For liberals/capitalists in the West, “sweatshops” are what exists in “the third world”, if such a factory exists in the West, then it is a “factory with poor working conditions”, e.g. Amazon warehouses, Tyson chicken processing plants, and so on. The difference is in the perceived essence, a sweatshop will forever be a sweatshop, while a factory with poor working conditions can always improve those conditions to become a factory with good working conditions.
Yes, racism (negative perception of other countries) is the underlying cause of it.
Hilariously enough every sweatshop has poor working conditions.
Surprised I managed to figure it out while drafting some edgelord material.
