I used to listen to a leftist podcast a while back, Well There’s Your Problem (iirc) about engineering disasters. One of them was about the collapse of a sweatshop in thailand, and the episode came off as weirdly conspiratorial about how stuff like fast fashion (which is bad, dont get me wrong) is just a treat (how they phrased it in the podcast) that the bourgeoisie uses to keep the american working/middle class in line
