Indentured servitude was voluntary. Im sure if you were alive before we considered that slavery you’d be an apologist for that form of slavery as well.

They can sit in a cell or they can be rented as property and get to go outside.

That’s not exactly a choice, you can do nothing or something, and you should be grateful for the something even if it’s slavery.

What a horrible worldview.
