Child Labour Explained
Child Labour is bad…. Or is it? OK OK relax it was a joke, how did you even build this guillotine so quickly. Whatever, lets just take a quick gander at the community guidelines and see what we need to edit out of the script so that this video isn’t nuked upon release. Okay min maxxing your child soldiers stats will probably have to get taken out.. hmm ill probably have to take out the cave mining 4 kids section as well just incase but other than that it seems like the rest should be fine. Hopefully. And before you ask yes I do write all my scripts in traditional Chinese and no its not easier or anything actually its incredibly difficult but er I just started doing it and it kinda stuck so you know old habits and whatnot. Ok lets start again, child labour, its been around for millennia, ever since people were having children by the time they were able to walk they usually were set to work. But was it really all that bad? Are labour laws really necessary and why I believe that children today are being primed by global corporations to get back to work. But before that lets start with child labour in the first human civilisations, what were the career paths for children? Well you would often have children work as farm hands, tending to crops and animals or they could be used as err sacrifices to pagan deities, yea it was a pretty life as a child. Now you could argue that being sacrificed to an ancient pagan demon doesn’t necessarily equate to gainful employment, but id have to disagree because when I clock in to work it feels like im handing my precious first born child (My Time) to a sadistic unmerciful demon (My Boss) and in return I get a bountiful harvest (a salary). This was really the case for most of human history, except we stopped the sacrificing thing, but children would usually just work as extra hands on the farm or whatever the family business was, be it undertaking, merchantry whatever. You don’t really get much divergence from the tried and true method on a mass scale till we come to the beginning of the industrial revolution, this is where thankfully career opportunities expand and now instead of just working on the family business you can do something else such as child miner, child chimney sweeper, child factory worker, child shipyard worker, child railway worker and even child street sweeper, which entailed the child to stand at crosswalks and sweep the street as rich people walked past so as they didn’t get any dirt on their shoes. Now you could look at this and think oh how terrible children being forced to work in bad conditions for low pay instead of going to school, but, without these children how would the poor factory owners make any money? Im sure most of those children would be happy to work 16 hour unpaid shifts without breaks just so that the factory owner could scrape enough money together to put food on the table for his kids, If I was a child worker id be happy to work at a factory, well not a pencil factory but other than that, knowing that I was making a massive difference to some of the most oppressed groups in society, landlords and factory owners, would have me there bright and early every morning. Unfortunately, the oppressive government started to enact “child labour laws” like the Factory act in 1833 which prohibited children aged 9 and under from working in factories, which actually wasn’t very popular with the poorest families at the time who now instead of having an income generating asset (their child) they now had another expense (their child). So now children aren’t allowed to work in the factories but alteast they are still able to go into the mines and break some rocks with the boys. (sigh) cant have in this day and age can you? Whats even so bad about child mining, oooh a little dust in the lungs? Who cares that never anyone and even if it did they all smoked back then anyway so whats the difference. But that wasn’t all, they then pushed more and more laws until now where in the UK and most of the western world a child has to be in full time education until 16 before they can get a job. So we went from the earliest civilisations employing children to now where its actually illegal, what a shame I mean ohh how terrible im so grateful to the government for stepping in and making laws that are definitely in my interest.But that’s only the western hemisphere, in developing countries as a result of the banning of child labour but still huge demand for cheaply made products you actually saw a boom in industrialised child labour kind of similar to how you saw that boom from the industrial revolution. Textile factories in Bangladesh and Pakistan now with the use of child labour supply a lot of the materials needed, so really they didn’t ban child labour all they really did was outsource it.
As former child myself, i can confirm i yearned to mine for cobalt, and my oppressive parents forced me to go to school and play videogames
I unironically always played as being a miner every time there was some sort of dirt slope or hole, I mined that shit immediately, the mines were taken from us as children.
My elementary school brought in yukon dan one assembly and my friend got a small dose of gold fever and said to me "when we grow up lets be gold miners"
😂😂😂😂😂 this comments was so hilarious
Fuck I love cobalt
When was the last time you never had a choice ?
Kids play house and pretend to run restaurants and yet somehow paying them for it is morally wrong?
fr
They YEARN for the workspace.
If they are your kids, you don't have to pay them for a small family business. Depending on local laws.
Ja frfr
It’s more so the stress that comes with actually preforming the job correctly. You take a 5-year-old and make them work in a restaurant, they’re gonna stop playing restaurant at home real quick😂 When they hear the clanking of pots and pans, they’ll start hearing chefs and servers yelling at them and break out into a cold sweat like some form of PTSD lol
Some jobs are just too dangerous.. they must be done by children 🗿

Wait so it’s illegal to force large amounts of children into the mines for no pay? Does that mean I have to shut down production?
It's only illegal if the feds find out
Don't worry it's still legal in DRC!

my parents oppressed me into not being able to go to a cobalt mine as a child, this video brought back past traumas 😭😭😭
The Thing is that Children are Dumb, and Cant Understand Simple Orders, So They were Pretty Bad Workers😥 but Child Soldiers on the Other Hand...
It's self sabotaging. The same reason why they are bad workers, they are bad soldiers.
Dude Don’t You realize That Guns are too heavy For Children? And Soldiers still have To Understand Orders and Tactics. But being a Homeless Beggar though…
@@doob.I mean the first m16s were only five pounds and quantity is a quality of its own
@@doob. It was the case for long time. But nowdays exist firearms small enough for a kid.
Pistols, machine guns (not all ofc) are so light and with small enough recoil that child soldiers can exist with "great" efficency.
Dont forget the moral damage enemy soldiers will recive after shooting 10yo with explosives aroud his waist!
@@doob. Yes but Give them a Few Years of Traning and Now you have a Elite Army of Child Soldiers + No Grown Adult Wants to Kill Children.
U should have left the child mines section. My cobalt child mines in namibia aren't making much wealth anymore. I needed tips to bring back its wealth
Why is that? Dud their government ACTUALLY tried to do something about it or cobalt was cheaper elsewhere?
Have you tried paying those greedy children less?
Great video preparing our future generations. Production rates will go through the roof! 🥳

And Planned Parenthood!
@@georgerogers1166 are abortions free there?
@@georgerogers1166they do regular checkups too and supply birth control so we don’t have to have tons more abortions. And yes I’m aware of how Planned Parenthood unfortunately started along with birth control.
I don’t agree with late term termination (unless it’s a medical emergency or it’s a stillbirth/going to be a stillbirth) or being reckless and not using contraception with the knowledge of consequences, but would you rather kids be abused by their parents who didn’t want them or be in the monstrosity that is the orphanage/foster “care” system? I know people who were in those situations and while some came out fine despite the terrible conditions and I’m glad that they’re here and alive, they’ve suffered greatly and I would never want any child to go through even half of what they went through

Now days we Force children to do unpayed learning!
You must have gotten paid then.
Don’t be ridiculous. You don’t learn anything in school except how to hand in assignments and show up on time. If you’re lucky.
The children yearn for the mines and construction site. Look at Fortnite and Minecraft. Give them some vr headset hooked to robots and generate that profit :]
...actually, that's not a bad idea. Sure the robot is likely more expensive than the products of the labor, but ultimately it's the mindset you're after.
The ADL is probably going to declare that the term pencil factory is hate speech.

Was here to comment the same. Plus the sacrifice reference. Look it up...
@@hyder4664It's as real as it gets. It sounds crazy to normal people, but sadly there are countless documented events throughout history.
It's their beliefs, they may not even hate kids, but the demons got to be fed.
@@dondraper4438 yeah it's truly sad. It's good that Stoic Stick is taking some good efforts to educate people about these events.
On the bright side, imagine how good this looks on a resume.

Applicant: Yes, I’ve been working 2 full time jobs since I was born.

His script is the lyrics to that chinese song meme. And it is written traditional chinese -1000 social cred right there
i already know how child labor works. (from experiance)
Lucky
My mom would hire me out to local farmers when I was like 12
One of my favorite stories growing up was the little match girl its a dutch folktale about a poor girl during Christmas who was told not to come home until she sold every match by her father so she trys to sell the matches until the sun sets and she begins to light the matches seeing beautiful images of the people inside there homes eating a goose and having a big family dinner, she eventually strikes the last of her matches as she sees a shooting star, which her grandma told her is a sign someone passed away, and her grandma comes down and takes her to heaven, then next morning all the towns folk walk by thinking about the poor girls last moments but they knew nothing of the wonder illusions she witnessed before she passed
The Chinese script is the lyrics to yi jian mei (“xue hua piao piao”), got a good chuckle from me
Been waiting for this one to come out 🙏🙏
Bro I was right about to go to sleep, but I'll watch this real quick.
Let’s go stoic is making it out the hood with this banger🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
sweatshop/Child labormaxxing when? (i would even call it a sweatshop they have no sweat (on account of the lack of water))
child labor consistantly outperforms adult labor because of the lack of unions, which as we all know oppress the hardest working people in our society, that being the landlords and factory owners💸💯🗿
You always upload in time for my lunch break. Thank you
Thank you for blessing us with this video, I just watched Balarke’s try not to cringe video and this really got my spirits up, hope and humanity is restored

I do have that in rust we enclave the kids and they basically do all the work while the adults pvp and raid and sleep while they stay up farmin or doing whatever late at night so we dont get offlined
Excellent video as always, another fine addition to my ever growing collection of stoic wisdom
35 secs into the video and im cryingggg, this guy is too good
That explains why children like minecraft so much. Thank you for the insight, Stoic!

Child labor never left it was hiding in the cobalt mines renovating the atmosphere of the workplace and waiting patiently for a day where the economy would have a difficult time to recover so they could implement new laws for children to work in the skibidi mining tunnels looking for rare minerals to make profits off of
"Child labour is bad."
"Or is it?"

The chinese text is about true love. Here's what google translate told me:
Wanwen sunshine at sunrise
The true love between you and me is like plum blossoms that have bloomed through the cold ice and snow and cannot be drowned. They are blooming on
the coldest branches. Looking at you and me, the snowflakes are fluttering in the north wind. The sky and the earth are vast. A cold plum stands proudly in the
snow. People are fragrant. Love what I love without regrets. This love lasts for a long time, the snowflakes are fluttering in the north wind, the sky is
vast, a cold plum stands proudly in the snow, only for my beloved, the fragrance is flowing. Love me, no regrets, no regrets, this true love is like a vast grassland.
Layers of wind and rain cannot block it. There are always clouds and sunrise. Time is endless [The plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, only for the
fragrance of my beloved. I love the one I love without regrets. This love will last forever. I will pay attention to it. The north wind is blowing.
The sky and the earth are vast. A cold plum blossom stands proudly in the snow, just for the fragrance of my lover. I will have
no regrets. This love will last forever. Pay attention to it. True love is like the vastness of the grassland. The layers of wind and rain
cannot block it. When the sun shines on you, my true love is like the plum blossoms that have bloomed through the cold ice and snow
and cannot be covered by the snow. I see the spring coming towards you and I have snowflakes fluttering in the north wind. A plum
blossom stands proudly in the sky and earth, only for my beloved. I love what I love without regrets or regrets. I will keep this love forever.
The north wind blows, the sky and the earth are a vast expanse, and a cold plum blossom stands proudly in the snow, just for the beauty.
