Am I financialy enabling child labor in 3rd world country by buying second hand fast fashion from Thrift shop and Vinted? Because I am not the one who originally bought the clothes from Shein. But buy buying it again from someone else I still use it uhhuhh this is complicated.
If we want to be dead honest about it - yes. It’s like second-hand guilt. You’re buying it off from someone who, whether they care or not, bought it first hand that it was made through child labor in 3rd world country. They donated it, they didn’t want it and you went to get it. You’re in possession of said item with the knowledge of how it was made.
Just because you weren’t the first who bought it, doesn’t cancel out just buying it altogether.
