Children in Ghana, some as young as 5, are working cocoa fields and wielding machetes instead of attending school.

    Thought this was known already. If you’re eating chocolate made by conglomerates then it’s probably made by child labor

      I just put it here for posterity. People in the future might find this sub and they can see this is one of the reasons why we millennials overthrew the whole damn system. Nobody wants that slave chocolate

          To be fair, this is the Mars company, but Nestle does the same shit.

          I wish someone would grow cacao plants here in the states so we can have slavery-free chocolate and coffee.

Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers’ instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don’t band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.
