but buying from the middleman who is "buying cheaper from a country that does not have labor laws protecting its workers" is ok?

Evidence that this isn't a knockoff please.

But also... rarely have I seen both a pro-Communist argument and an anti-Communist argument in the same sentence lol

Its a idea and product by a chinese guy

China is as communist as north korea is democratic republic.

Just because they call themselves something it doesnt mean they are it.

it's literally the same product

wait, how do we know it isn't a knockoff?

I guess it's possible that it could be a knockoff, but in any case it would be made in china either way, since the original is also made there, so it doesn't really change anything in relation to the point being made by the parent comment
