all solid ethical shit

>>10206982
Patagonia is not an ethical company they've been found to use forced labor and human trafficking.

what does it matter? people will still buy unethical clothing even if you avoid it. the most morally viable option would be to aid in the campaign to close sweatshops down once and for all.

>>10207013
it's still nice to not be part of the problem

>>10206990
thanks for the warning :)

Good reading on this subject.

>>10205881
Here's a big clue, if it has cheap stitches and it's below $150 USA then it was probably made in a slave camp tier sweatshop

Confession-

I taken pride in buying unethical shit because it makes me feel edgy. I'm aware of how asinine this is yet I have no desire to change my behavior. What should i do fam?

Because, no matter how small, you as an individual still have some sort of economical power and you should use it wisely.

Right, Look how much he accomplished.

>>10205881
this is why people should be educated in basic economics. You are in no way doing a service to the people of the 3rd world by refusing to buy the products they manufacture.

>>10208342
>sheeple

how about a list of UNethical brands as well. Is Acne still on that list? I know there's been some confusion on whether or not they have clothing made in the same workshop that H&M, Zara and F21 are made in

>>10208368
Well I know there's the typical gay fashion stores

H&M
Zara
Forever 21
Gap and affiliates
American apparel?
Uniqlo

do you look like a tranny, and recently got a hair cut ?

I usually feel pretty good knowing some little took waste of space subhuman was paid pennies to make my clothes

Almost aristocratic

fred perry is ethical and fuckin cool

Shoe stores/companies/brands?

>>10206990
You're totally wrong
They make serious efforts into ensuring that their factories, source material manufacturers, even the fucking truck companies that they do business with are all doing things with accordance to the law
No forced labor, no sweatshop conditions, no child labor
And they're full disclosure about everything...everything

You need to read this, dude. Plz

From now in, I'm buying American/Canadian only and fully accepting that everything else I own is most likely manufactured ethically only to the best extent of the brand
By the way that article portrays, it's almost impossible to maintain a purely ethical clothing company without doing everything in house like Danner or Topo Designs or American Apparel

fuuuck, this is long
but i'll get to reading this

>>10208593
Isn't AmAppy's whole angle that it's made in a factory in LA by well-treated workers?

I live in a 3rd world country and I laugh at stupid idiots who believe they are making a difference by buying "ethical" clothing. I bet you are the same retarded mongrels who think buying toms is giving a poor child a pair of shoes and is not a marketing trick. How about you get your multinationals to GTFO our countries and stop bribing our politicians?

>>10211104
Back to /pol/, Mexifag
We all know that your police mercilessly beat you
This board has never mentioned Toms in any post I've ever seen....ever

>>10211152
Not Mexican, and way to totally miss the point, I bet you're an Americunt

Texanon reporting

It's actually unethical to buy ``ethical'' clothing because your enforcing the socialist idea of ``equality'' and betraying your race. Once again, buying ``ethical'' quoting makes you a race traitor.

>>10211573
How is it socialist to maintain a personal political agenda
I understand barring others from being able to make their own choices on the matter
But quietly doing your own thing is not a race traitor/socialist move
Unless you're a whackjob bigot who thinks that Obama was born in Kenya, that Jews did 9/11, and that your voice actually matters in the grand scheme of things
Oh and talk shit post fit, brah

>>10211587
Equality is a socialist idea. We are not equal, and we should not seek to make the unequal equal. The serfs must be serfs, and the lords must be lords, and everyone in between must fulfill their duties.

>>10207013
You're literally cancer.

Bizarre thread.

I've always preferred unethical brands. For an upper-middle class hero like myself, there's something very comforting in knowing that my sneakers were assembled by some kid somewhere who is literally living a life that would be considered hell by western standards. If I'm an example of a human being, you can't really use the same term to describe that kid, after all. Either he's less than human, or I'm MORE than human, you know?

Either way, I feel good about it.

more importantly what brands are owned either directly or via parent company by Jews

>>10208368
>made in china
>made in bangledash
>made in vietnam
>made in cambodia

basically anything that's not specifically in-house will be made in one of these countries

And what about Gilden?

>you need to be educated in the art of exploitation to see that exploitation is an act of benevolence
how about you stop enforcing policies that make self-sustenance impossible for those countries before stepping in to save them by offering to be their slave owner?

so many liberals, ugh

>>10213148
Yes that's why we need to spread awareness of the mechanisms of global capitalism and make the liberals confront the fact that they are enabling it to take place.
I want to believe that they are willfully ignorant rather than genuinely malicious.

>>10211736
What the fuck?

>>10213176
I love how a lot of Chinese garment factory workers will save you money to buy their own equipment then make stuff at home, off the clock, to sell on the side
And that it's such a huge thing that some of them end up working on orders for garment factories at home
It's like "yah I get paid shit but I'm gonna take full advantage of these western fuccbois with their stupid instagram trends and get that fucking paper"

>>10213195
where can I read more about that?

Most of north Korea's economy is black market
Proof that it doesn't work

I actually agree. I'm the same about veganism.

my god no, it's communism only nominally, just as it has always been anywhere, yet.

I was a strict vegan for two years but went back to eating meat after realizing that I was vitamin deficient
Now I limit my animal product consumption to a handful of verified compassionate companies

there is no such thing as ethical dumb cuck

cotton picked in india
textile made in china
garment finished in the US = "made in the USA"

>typing on a computer made in china

fuck off

>>10213296
Probably not in any form that it has previously had.
I believe that what used to be the western working class will become aware of their alienation and the purposelessness of their newly manufactured white collar jobs, either on their own or when automation finally makes them obsolete.
The illusion of your daily activities somehow having purpose ONLY by being productive in a commercial sense is growing thinner and I think it will bust at some point.
Then we can see social development such as a demand for a sense of creative self-realization and connectedness with other people that doesn't boil down to economic relations. Needless to say communal self-sufficiency is a way of achieving that which also undermines current mechanisms of capital flow.

That's probably the only thing that can happen in rich countries and it's not impressive in itself, but throw some third world emancipation in the mix and baby you've got a stew going.

sounds like you want fascism tbh
communism and capitalism are both materialist ideologies

>>10213430
more like existentialist anarchism with inevitable social expressions and desires
