(Dhaka) Liberals and do-gooders love to have a cause. Be it not
eating meat, not wearing fur or even the crime of calling a chick with a dick ‘sir’
they feel they have the right to enforce their polarised views onto everybody
else and if you don’t subscribe to their views then you must be character assassinated.
The thing is, they are never held to account for the after effects of the
campaigns. For example the other week. the cause of the day was the wages
factory workers in Bangladesh earn making clothes for western markets. Whilst
these people are getting paid what is a good wage for the area, to the ethical latte
brigade who never take into account the difference in living costs between the first and third world feel that as
these people are not earning a western wage, then this is a racist hate crime
and that customers should boycott these goods until the workers are paid the
same as people in the west. As usual once they have held their protest, these
ethical latte drinkers move onto the next social rights cause.
The thing is emboldened by media reporting in the west, a
lot of the workers in Bangladesh; felt they could strike in which to see an
increase in their wages. Problem is the factory owners were having none of this
and it has been reported that 7580 people have been laid off . As usual none of
the do called human right crowd who were protesting regards wages have bothered
their arse, in apologising for giving false hope to people in the third world
who are now unemployed.
