To be consistent, if you wish to protect workers by rejecting artificially produced assets, you should feel the same about textiles produced by industrial machinary. Either this decision was wrong or the Luddites had a good point.


Sure, but for the body of folks offering a gaming award, there is little power they have over the textile industry.

To others you may be addressing, I suspect they would say the ship has already sailed on textiles. Perhaps they are trying to sink this ship before it sails.


If the product is not made from material dug out from ground or plants or animals by only bare hands. And I mean bare hands. Is it even worth buying?


If the worker isn’t suffering because of useless manual work, I don’t want to buy it.

Machines? Bah, humbug!
