Lack of transparency, low wages: The lies that sell fast fashion

The video discusses the negative impacts of fast fashion, particularly focusing on Shein and Temu influencers on TikTok.

It sheds light on the hidden costs of fashion, such as material and labor expenses, and the lack of transparency in the industry regarding supplier lists and worker wages. The transformation of fast fashion from trend-driven to quantity-driven is explored, along with its effects on overconsumption and sustainability. Viewers are encouraged to adopt conscious shopping habits, limit clothing purchases, curate their style, and prioritize transparency and ethics in their consumer choices.

      China has implemented a state capitalist economy and like most Marxist-Leninist projects, it seems to have stalled at that stage, so I would say that the commentary applies.

        This is another weird comment by the same mod in this community. The I-am-right-and-everyone-else-is-wrong stance is not a good foundation for any community imho.
