Comment on Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?

I’m extremely enthusiastic about used stuff.
Folks who buy new products will buy them anyway, and it’ll either end up in a landfill or used by someone else. Mind as well use it.
And, think of the opportunity cost. Your fast fashion presumably replaces “budget” new clothes you’d buy instead, which shrinks sweatshop market demand as a whole.
Also:

If you’re feeling guilty about skipping “sustainable” brands, a lot of those are cons anyway. Some are fine, but there’s a good chance you’d just make some lying jerk richer.

For heavens sake, if you like fast fashion, enjoy your passion.
