It's imperialism to take advantage of trade now?

Comparative advantage is racist?

What happened to "diversity is our strength"?

Yes, taking advantage of poor nations to produce luxury goods is the very definition of imperialism.

Small or less developed nations participating in mutually beneficial trade is not imperialism by any reasonable definition.

When America stops buying stuff from the world, even if its for luxury goods, the whole world economy suffers for it.

Well, see, mutually beneficial. You get your luxury goods, and the third world gets starvation wages, exploitation, environmental destruction, and brutal political, economical and military interventions to keep the explotation going.

Mutually beneficial indeed.

These kinds of things give me hope

watching this actually made me cry a little. i've long held that i think the support for anti-trans policies is a mile wide and an inch deep, and the majority of people who would oppose our existence in a survey or a ballot box do so out of ignorence in the truest sense of the word. Do so because they have little to no experience of us, do so because they don't see us in their communities, do so because we are not a part of their daily lives, and that if they were to see us there in front of them day in and day out, they would not so easily cast aside our rights and our humanity in favor of what they hear about us from conservative media outlets. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say that, and seeing such a perfect example of it, especially in so dark a time, brings me to tears.

i've never felt more spiritually fulfilled
