Sweet christ, I just saw this. You now sound like a huge douche bag for telling me what my country needs. What we need is a competitive labor market so people can choose where they want to work. We need labor unions so the 500,000 factory workers can negotiate their terms without dying in a protest. I don't hate

This is the point where we need to agree to disagree. Neither of us are actually listening to the other person because we’re so convinced by our own experiences and knowledge that this thread is becoming a broken record.

You’re doing it again. You are displaying your inability to grasp reality. The Khmer Rouge called themselves communists. That does not mean they were communists. It's akin to how you think you're smart, but it doesn't mean you are, fundamentally, smart.

The difference between you and me is that when you call me stupid, and proceed to explain why, your explanation lacks credibility. You keep blowing a bubble around yourself and are floating further and further away from reality.

You are using a very basic idea and trying to apply it to a very complicated situation. I believe you believe what you’re saying is some kind of universal truth, but it’s disturbing how the more you argue, the more incompetent you sound. Are you just bad at explaining yourself? Please come visit me at Monkey Republic

Why do you keep calling factory work unskilled labor? You have no clue what happens in a garment factory.

I wouldn’t say it’s an indicator I’m an idiot, but rather you just sound like a teenager who has never read a book. Libertarianism makes sense. Marxism needs three stages.

Samantha Power’s book, Problem from Hell discusses the US’ role in 20th century genocide. It won a Pulitzer, and if you don't feel like reading the whole thing, I'll tell you her conclusion is the United States will only intervene if it aligns with their national interests.

I don’t think you know what Marxism is. Capitalism is an integral part of Marxism. You’re a teenager who listens to your republican dad yell at Obama on the television, aren’t you? That would perfectly explain your ignorance to an issue about a country you have never been to and, probably, don’t know what continent

Can’t match your pronouns, can you?

^so I couldn't say it. It's 2:11 AM here and instead of sleeping, I'm Kinja-ing.

Thank you for watching it, because I sure as hell won’t.

Yikes! Idiocy has taken root in you, hasn't it? Try reading a book instead of watching a YouTube video.

Perfect phrasing. I've just been confrontational on the John Oliver post I couldn't say it. Thank you.

I don’t think factories are bad. Everlane, Kimodo, and Oliberte are all ethical labels who use factories. What is bad is that in 2015, factories controlled by foreign companies compromise living wages for low prices and fast turnaround. The solution is not “make children work.” The solution is “pay people a living

Cambodians experience something called 2nd and now 3rd generation PTSD. Mental health doesn’t really exist here, so talking about it stirs up a lot of repressed emotions. Everyone knows it happened, and they will talk about it, but it's just not a history lesson in school.

At first I thought you were just simple-minded, then you made a case for child labor, so now I can’t tell if you’re a troll or just evil.

Who is “we”?

If that helps you sleep at night.

I’ll just flat out say this because it may give me some credibility: I’m Cambodian. I live in Caambodia. I studied Anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where I studied the economic effects of the Khmer Rouge and the UN takeover that led to the civil war. If, for some reason, it helps you sleep at
