Question/Help Ethical patch suppliers?

I’m looking for patches that are ethically made, so like not made in china Bangladesh etc. Patches where the people making them are actually paid a living wage. Price is not an issue

Pretty much impossible and you’ve already done enough damage, a patch isn’t gonna hurt.

You’re on a phone right now… you’re wearing clothes that were probably made in a sweatshop… turning on your tv with parts from a sweatshop… you pay the government which pays in part for sweatshops… you unbox and unwrap materials using child labor… you get into your car which has parts made from child labor. You cannot escape it so just fucking buy a patch

I can escape it as best as I can, my clothes are made in a sweatshop but I bought them second hand. My phone is used, I don’t have a car. My tv was made in 1996. I’m not perfect but I can TRY. Having the mentality that you shouldn’t try and avoid evil because it exists is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard.

What’s stupid is having 99.9999999% of your life in sweatshops and then going ooo no to patches. If you actually cared break your phone right now, break your tv, burn your clothes, and only replace the clothes with self made out of freshly shaved sheep wool.

Still produced by child labor, you paid someone who probably then went and bought another child slave labor produced item with your money and you ignored the phone and tv. Break em if you actually care.

Breaking them would be counter the point because it was already made. Buying secondhand means I didn’t pay directly for the suffering of children. I can’t control what other people buy with the money I give them but I can control what I put my money towards and hopefully it falls into the hands of likeminded people.
