I hate these companies, they are the end game of hyper-consumerist Capitalism. Cheap junk, made largely with slave labor, with extremely toxic chemicals that destroy our environment, most of which gets dumped after a few uses in landfills to slowly rot and leak micro plastics into everything.
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!
Influencers on TikTok doing $200 haul videos with huge boxes of this swill for their addicted viewers, it’s horrific.
At some point, peasants will need to own their idiotic consumption patterns.
We clearly can’t rely on the state to regulate or business to sell good shit. Direct action and voting with your money is the only choice left.
Yet most people larp the plastic trash… And when you ask them why, they act indignant about it.
🤡 society we deserve
Don’t hate the companies first, but their mindless consumers. No such companies would exist if your little sister wasn’t so vapid and tacky.
Shut them all down. Our planet is getting hotter, companies like them should be permanently shut down for ALL of the emissions they emit.
I wonder how much of the stuff they sell us straight up illegal to be sold in the countries where the buyers are, but they get away with it because there’s no enforcement.

I can buy ozone generators, and even Amazon won’t ship those to me. Yes the ban is stupid, but it’s an example I’ve come across.
I swear these companies are a secret operation to hurt both the economy of the United States and the health of the nation.
You’re not wrong. Temu and Shein are actually running at a loss because of all the promotions they do and how cheap they are able to sell things. The Chinese government is doing this to fuck with American economics. Making American companies also drive down prices and exploit labor even more.
“it’s a conspiracy chat”
I was going to binge purchase off Temu at one point - inexpensive junk stuff to tickle my fancy. But in good conscience, I just couldn’t. It’s wasted money on stuff I don’t trust made by exploited workers or knocked off patents that ends up in a landfill.
Would I confidently let my kids play with the toys and tchotchkes? I don’t even buy stuff for them from Amazon cause of all the counterfeit and toxic crap. I know some consumers have to be extra price conscious. It sucks that they’re relegated to crap quality products that are less durable and essentially more disposable (not to say that better quality junk isn’t disposable junk in modern times).
Amazon at this point is just Aliexpress with better shipping. I seriously have made it a point to just find what I want on amazon then find it for 1/2 price on aliexpress.
Amazon for me is just a search engine. A shit one at that, because the actual search function sucks. I have to search for a product related to what I want and then keep clicking on “products you might want”. And after finding what I want just go to the manufacturer’s website and buy it for 10€ less.
You buy something from Amazon and it’s just a company dropshipping you the product they bought from AliExpress
