we just moved child labour to less developed countries. we didn't get rid of anything. you just don't see it, but child labour is still going strong in the world. child slavery as well.

No WE did not. The people in those countries where it still happens allowed it to still happen.

None of us have any decisionmaking power to control what those countries do, so the burden to fix those problems is on those countries who allow it.

Yeah those countries just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and start being productive members of the world.

I know we could help them out so they don't have to go through all the hard times alone and without the knowledge we have, but fuck em hahahahahaha

It's a very complex issue, Western countries do a lot of things to help out less developed nations but we also do selfish things that makes life harder for them - unfortunately this is the reality of humanity, I am fighting my own personal ideological war against capitalism and the greed based system by which we live so I'm not defending it but it also has to be stated that other systems can have these flaws too.

We need a cultural shift to fix these problems, an economic one isn't enough on its own
