Don't use TEMU. Basically, if it helps China, don't use it.

    Had me in the first half. As for the second, you don’t have a real reason besides China bad? Not even a “stop polluting by buying mass produced cheap single use shit”?

    TBF China wants to kill us all and take over all the land, and they've been pretty successful in their recent attempts.

    I can't express how much I'd rather give my money to China over any American shit. Like:

    Canada/Local > most of the world > China > [...]x100 > USA/Israel

    It's your funeral. [and everyone you love.]

    I notice you tacked Israel onto USA there, let's not ignore China's role in vetoing the UN Ceasefire resolution with release of hostages in the terms, arming the Hamas attack on the music festival through their support of the IRGC who rule Iran, and supporting the Trump Admin's reelection who ended all food aid into Gaza and shifted the genocide into high gear.

    Not Amazon either, denounce Walmart too, US bad.

    Now, how about IKEA? Sweden probably bad. Aldi? Germany definitely bad!

    Also don't you dare use your car, it helps oil corporations!!!

    I'm not against not using TEMU as a concept, but your point sounds as stupid as the ones above.

    PD: although, don't use Amazon, Jeff Bezos definitely globally bad.

    Everything wrong with the USA is worse with China. You can even say that the worst part of the USA currently is Trump and he was aided in reelection by Beijing operated psyop TikTok. Fuck China, Fuck Authoritarianism.

    Yeah, why hate and boycott an entire country? There are hard working folks there that need to feed their families. I used Temu a few times and never thought about the country the store is from. I just wanted to see the product. So far, clothes off Temu aren't that bad.

    The people in that country have a responsibility to do something to stop the authoritarian assholes in charge. Until that point, all harm inflicted upon them as a result of their notoriety is deserved and their own fault.

    In your opinion, what country's products are okay to buy, then?

    Definitely not the fucking shorter list.

    Blacklist any country with any form of aggressive military operations: Russia, China, USA, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Indonesia, etc.

    So what countries (with any considerable exports) are left to choose from then?

    Well if you subtract the ones I listed and India (or maybe not depending on the evidence in the Pakistan conflict) then bout 187 including Taiwan, the entire EU, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, etc.

    But more realistically probably like 130 depending on how you draw the line and after excluding aggressors in Africa and South America.

    How do you suppose they do that? You think it is that easy to lead a revolt!?

    It wouldn't be the first or the last revolt. If Xi "Poopy Pants Pooh" Jinping weren't afraid of it he wouldn't keep executing generals and parliament members.

    French Monarchs fell, Russian rulers fell twice, most English colonies threw off their own shackles.
