You keep arguing that these workers shouldn't have to shut up. Which nobody here has said.

So we don't seem to be in the same conversation.

I feel like you're seizing too literally on that phrase. Let's get on the same page before we continue...

>These are the best jobs these people can get. If the "sweatshop" closes down, they're be doing somewhere worse.

The implication that I read here is that you're saying "these people" should be grateful for having to work under the conditions they're working under because life could always be worse and this is the best they will have it.

Is that an accurate read of your comment?

[BurningFrog]

Not at all. Why would I have opinion about what poor africans "should" feel? Who even thinks like that?

I just meant what I wrote.

The implication, to spell it out, is that if you succeed in closing down these jobs, you'll make life worse for the workers you claim to care about.

BTW, why do you quote "these people"?

Please find where I said we should close down these jobs.

[BurningFrog]

OK, you personally didn't, but it's what much of the critique amounts to.

Have we maybe run out of disagreements?
