Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

The US isn't exactly a standard, because a shitload of people live in poverty in the US.

Also I am still finding German news articles as recent as 2022 that conditions at Foxconn still havent improved (the Foxconn scandal was like in 2010 to 2011) and that suicide safety nets aren't that rare at manufacturing factories in China.

Also your last link isn't working.

Bullshit articles about China are a de rigueur for Western media, because god forbid you should encounter the threat of a good example.

China is not all evil, but holy shit you need to get that boot out of your mouth. Also why the fuck do I want to believe state media when it is in their interest to hide the bad sides of their country? China based sources are either state controlled or bullshit right wing or Falun Gong based news sites.

I don’t have a boot in my mouth, and nobody asked you to believe state media. In fact the links I posted were Western corporate media and the United Nations. You’re raging over a straw man you’ve made up in your head.

Also, you seriously using Chomsky as a source? Dude is a total hack and bootlicker. Also dude was friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

He is a hack, but probably not in the way that you think.

Sometimes he’s right, though.
