Perhaps people with negative karma shouldn't be allowed to add or subtract karma from others. I think I might still have my heroic was this the case.

Oh come on Elegiac.
Calling it exploitation is the real indicator of "privilege" here. People choose to work in such jobs because it's their best option, and buying their products is what gives them their income. No country ever got prosperity from aid.
It certainly isn't humanistic to assume you know what is best for these people, despite not being in their position.
Last comment, you forced it out of me with your callous ridiculousness. It's not a huge imaginative leap to assume that if I were one of those people, I would like a fairer deal. They say as much themselves. It isn't about aid; it's about not putting profit before people.

That's false. The only reason people see this is because there's some guilt in having cheap labour do things for us and make our products. We don't see the poverty of subsistence living in a trade-less economy. There's a reason that demand for low-wage, poor-quality jobs is so high, and it's because it's preferable to unemployment.
Exploitation isn't an acceptable or beneficial solution to poverty. You haven't contradicted what I've said, you've tried to justify it. It's about simple humanism and accountability. But I don't come on here to argue politics or morality with gamers and teenagers of all people. I think this thread should be moved to #serious where I don't have to look at it.

Am I on Waifu Master's team? Or am I on Lukes team? Or someone else's team? Why is everyone fighting over True?

Some certainly is <.<
But an equally fair part is simply the way the first world used to be, until we went through the industrial revolution <.<
A lot of countries are undergoing a 21st century version where some of the tricky bits have already been filled in, but they are still going to be polluting, chopping down forests and using child labour like England did at one point >.>
Whilst we can obviously help by sharing more advanced and efficient technology (To try and make up for the whole colonialism thing) there is only so much the west can do. They basically need to get their act together whilst we give them a hand in doing so <.<
We're still exploiting them for resources and cheap labour.

Elegiac, you will help me guard the secret place where I am holding Tru for his own protection.
Aye, then I will muster my forces and do that.

A lot of third world suffering is due to the west. The least we can do is clean up our own mess.
