One month ban for pointing out that consumerism bad. What a shithole of a site over there on the grad.

    Like yes, I recognize that the imperialists want to zero in both on untrue criticisms and on criticisms of China that also apply to America and American companies.

    But that does not mean criticisms that apply to American companies are to be celebrated or even ignored when they apply to Chinese companies, we just have to be balanced in our attention. And me personally, I hate using Amazon, I hate Amazon as a business, I hate how their return policy contributes to consumerism and also waste.

    I hate consumerism. Because I’m a fucking Communist. How’s that for balance

      Nothing in the pictured comment suggests they’re celebrating it. They’re just pointing out the reality that China is doing a thing that the west did but the west only decides to criticize it when China does it. The OP comment in your screenshot is completely correct.

      Hate to break it to you, but people will still wear clothes and care about fashion in communism
