A friend told me that buying things off AliExpress contributes to the "inhumane working conditions in China"
(hexbear.net)
...and also somehow directly causes third world countries to be drowned in plastic trash
He had no complaints about a link to the same cheap spare part listed on Amazon though
Your friend is right. The world needs to know about Chinese "dark factories" where workers are forced to assemble products 24 hrs a day without breaks.
Spoilers: "dark" because they're so automated you could run them with the lights off.

China playing Factorio while US just keeps replaying Hearts of Iron.
You see, the joke here is in HOI4 you literally sell your factories for trade goods.
In Factorio you also have to defend yourself against a horde of NPCs who are very mad at you for building a factory.
Well you crash land on a planet and use up their resources to build factories only to fuck off back home
Still better than a settler colonists because you eventually leave.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
China is genociding employment opportunities for the youths, crippling their entrepreneurial spirit 😔
