I hate these companies, they are the end game of hyper-consumerist Capitalism. Cheap junk, made largely with slave labor, with extremely toxic chemicals that destroy our environment, most of which gets dumped after a few uses in landfills to slowly rot and leak micro plastics into everything.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!
Influencers on TikTok doing $200 haul videos with huge boxes of this swill for their addicted viewers, it’s horrific.
At some point, peasants will need to own their idiotic consumption patterns.
We clearly can’t rely on the state to regulate or business to sell good shit. Direct action and voting with your money is the only choice left.
Yet most people larp the plastic trash… And when you ask them why, they act indignant about it.
🤡 society we deserve
It’s funny because lots of communists/anarchists want a system that is even more dependent on a conscience, awareness of the collective and intelligence of average citizen while we can’t even do basic wallet voting in this one. Or choose non authoritarian president.
And what’s worse is they’re probably tested on animals.
technically correct since humans are animals.
Very optimistic of you to think they actually tested it :)
It’s almost a by the book buy off. You don’t get a salary that can afford anything like good food and clothes because we want salaries to be cheap in the west while we increase the profits from rents, fees etc. However, we will pay you off by externalising all the costs of getting you cheap crap on other people that you don’t have to see (and the environment in general).
It’s of course not an actual conspiracy, just a confluence of terrible impulses and motivations.
I wonder how much of the stuff they sell us straight up illegal to be sold in the countries where the buyers are, but they get away with it because there’s no enforcement.
So much of it. You can buy liquid mercury and gallium on these sites and they ship in barely-padded glass vials via airmail.
It’s recklessly illegal. Not only are these metals highly regulated, they can oxidize an infinite amount of aluminum, which can compromise an aircraft hull from the inside.
I can buy ozone generators, and even Amazon won’t ship those to me. Yes the ban is stupid, but it’s an example I’ve come across.
Shut them all down. Our planet is getting hotter, companies like them should be permanently shut down for ALL of the emissions they emit.
