Lmfao at the absolutely classic .world responses in this thread. “Slavery is good actually”. You guys play your role too a T.
Remember, these are the people calling leftists “authoritarians”
Yikes, seeing people come out of the woodworks to defend slavery…
Person from Star Trek instance defending slavery is epsecially baffling, could be Gul Dukat alt account.
Ow wow he guardian using a real headline.
Edit: nevermind OP had to change the propaganda.
How weird that Elon Musk didn’t build a small fire extinguishing submarine.
Inb4 he calls the firefighters pedophiles
While I’d agree they deserve better pay, etc. these inmates volunteer for the work. Calling them “slaves” is ridiculous.
Wrong. They are slaves under the 13th amendment of the US, which explicitly allows slavery as punishment for a crime. Some more on this:
The US currently operates a system of slave labor camps, including at least 54 prison farms involved in agricultural slave labor. Outside of agricultural slavery, Federal Prison Industries operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories , where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies. 1, 2, 3
- The US has the highest incarceration rates in the world. Even individual US states outrank all other countries.
It is slavery, as allowed for under the US constitution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_exception_clause
It’s not involuntary, though. They have to apply for the program, and can stop if they want.
Do you think there aren’t consequences for prisoners that refuse this “voluntary” service?
I’d like to introduce you to the concept of being “volun-told.” Basically, it’s “volunteer, or be forced. Your choice.”
I might feel better about this program if they’re allowed to join after they get out of prison. But, because they were in prison, they are not allowed to join fire brigades. I feel that is cruel, and stupid.
