Correct. People are enslaved all over the world, but there’s a faction that loves to call prison labor “slavery” or “chattel slavery”. It reflects a lack of understanding of what slavery is and devalues the people who actually do get bought and sold, even today.
So no explanation for the glib comment, just insults. Thought so. I have lots of hobbies, we’re not friends, and I don’t need the trolling - blocking you now bye.
Sorry bud, but you just can’t fly in hot with a dickish reply to someone else’s comment and expect them to extend you any grace. Especially when you’re not even actually replying to the actual comment but your gross misreading of it.
Since apparently I’m blocked. For any body else who might stumble upon this one. Lovable’s assertion that any comparison between cattle slavery and prison slavery somehow diminishes the suffering and plight of the former is a real head scratcher. Especially since the prison industrial complex in the United States was built to be an institutional replacement for the systems of oppression that were banned by the 13th amendment.
This doesn’t qualify. Slavery is still in use in the world. You’d have to use a modifier like American slavery or the enslavement of x, y, z, people.

Yeah… Maybe think a bit on who it is that’s actually doing the devaluing here.
Maybe explain your point in English instead of dropping whatever vague hint you think you’re dropping.
Or maybe work on your reading comprehension? It seems to give you some trouble.
Or maybe get a hobby. Your thinking seems to be about as half-baked as your pedantry.
Have a good day friend.

You’re completely right. I did the American thing that Americans are wont to do. Apologies.
