I think I underestimated how reactionary Americans are. I dont understand how you can see “prohibit slavery” and then be like, no actually I like that thank you.

Only trans people should be allowed to vote. If you arent doing the pokey, you shouldnt be doing the votey

Its possible it was phrased poorly (intentionally), but considering usians I do think people like slavery unfortunately

Wow, if only we had a word for involuntary uncompensated labour enforced by violence.

Hate to break it to you but those two things are super clear cut examples of how one could prohibit slavery in the prison system.

Oh woah! I didn’t know working for nine cents-dollar an hour (variable depending on state) as a punishment for a drug charge or some other felony (ontop of getting your rights stripped) isn’t slavery! I didn’t know that fighting deadly fires for that same amount of money isn’t slavery either. Of course, I suppose in some states the alternative is to completely forgo commission at all. You know, conditions in American prisons are just that great you can do that, right? /s

What’s even stranger is that there is certain ethnic groups targeted by the private prison complex and then sentenced to that type of “labor as punishment for crime” in the same settler state that has a history of enslaving people. Just coincidences, right?

You’re a fucking pathetic worm, wriggling your shit all over the god damn definitions and stinking up the god damn place with your empty rhetoric. Fuck you.

Carceral slavery is still slavery, you piece of shit. You deserve to be executed by a former felon.
