It was like a year ago, before he’d blown up in popularity and he got dogpiled pretty heavily lol

:eco-porky: “Must be woke sjw tankies getting in the way of empowering children to disrupt conventional industry so we can innovate with their deliciously exploitable bones”

Freud occasionally missed, but he honed in on that concept

Yeah, I forget what exactly got him banned, but it was some weird contrarian radlib shit combined with stupidpol tier brainworms about trans people

I have no idea what level of bullshit ideology poison a person would need to have to think this article was a remotely coherent concept

I’ve worked with actual poverty alleviation and this article has me so pissed off I’m dropping the bernie bit in this thread. Holy shit

Other “sources” sited:

“Are adults willing to listen to children on child labour? Working children have the right to policies informed by their views and best interests”

Best interests according to who? If you ask a child who is desperately struggling to help keep their underpaid family alive, then yes, they’ll say that. They are also literal children.

was expecting a rehash of “should kids do chores”, not “was charles dickens a privileged white savior who denied children the right to die of coal lung and rare metal poisoning”

yes, it’s ancap dressed up as woke leftism

… you haven’t read it, but you posted it?

When campaigning against the exploitation of children, we sometimes risk falling into the trap of presenting child labor as an inherently evil phenomenon which should be stamped out entirely.

…

It’s worth noting the role of the ‘white savior complex’ in this oversimplification. Many organizations and individuals who campaign against child labor are based in the Global North whereas child labor is most prevalent in communities in the Global South

:fry:

by banning children from working without addressing the factors that motivate them to work, we risk causing real harm to them and their families.

Sort of agree with this

we believe it is crucial to seek out and pay attention to the voices of people with lived experience.

This is correct… although framed extremely weird in context of the article

Existing initiatives are already platforming the voices and requests of working children from around the world. “It’s Time to Talk!” was a global project, originally initiated by German NGOs Kindernothilfe and Terre des Hommes, that consulted more than 1,800 working children worldwide.

Oh my god this is a puff piece written for a child slavery NGO group

For more on this topic, watch our webinar, Do children have the right to decent work?

Holy fucking shit

:bern-disgust: no, no, you’re right

No you need to post more

@LeftistJoeBiden thank you sir

Gender being assigned at birth is legitimately more harmful than 9/11

@DivineChaos100 did you mean to post this in dunktank or do you, like, agree with it?

Am I missing something or is this article some weird radlib shit about child labor being good?

:flattened-bernie:

:socdem-blursed:

:robespierre:

Interesting… what do you like about it?

Still appears like a psychosexual compulsion, but perhaps you are right it was only infantile development of self brought on by abnormal class conditions
