will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.

    Not gonna watch that but if the “joke” is that the “Uyghur genocide” is enabled by fast fashion… the actual reality is that fast fashion is 110% pure capitalism that depends on workers in places like Bangladesh living in conditions similar to what Engels described in The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844.

      I can guarantee you that nobody who still watches Saturday Night Live has read a non-young-adult-fiction book in the past 10 years.

            Socialism means no comedy. The only laughter allowed is when you make a witty dunk on a right-winger. This will continue until all jokes are punching up.

      We don't even have to see outside of the US. The DoD uses prison labor to make uniforms which are made at a surplus to sell to the public. You'd be surprised by the stuff the prison system makes in your life.

          Ok but just because we constitutionally allow slavery doesn’t mean we’re Chinese which makes anything we do 100% times worse.

            Firing a giant ray that turns people Chinese at the US ruling circles so that they will be trapped in the compulsion to ask "but at what cost?" about their own actions think-about-it
